Well since the last post I’ve been in a total mess. My vertigo has been the worst it’s ever been, I’ve been mainly confined to bed – a trip to the wheelie bin two metres away from the back door was quite an achievement yesterday!

I have been enrolled in a sewing course and I’m looking forward to seeing how this will turn out – I’ll keep you posted.

My poor Mother is forever thinking up activities I can do that won’t take up to much energy to try and save my sanity – I even did a flippin jigsaw puzzle the other day! I have also been trying to brighten up my life in other ways.

The Yoga Girls certainly cheered me up, who can’t laugh with Prosecco, Dolly Parton, Moon walking and versions of ‘Everything is Awesome’ from the Lego Movie until three in the morning – I’m sure my neighbours were thrilled!

I have had some news though. The Hospital for Tropical Medicine wanted the opinion of a Doctor who specialises in Lyme to see what to do with me next. I was prepared to pay as this has gone on long enough but it turns out all the money in the world won’t help me as the NHS has pulled funding of his Lyme clinic so now it doesn’t exist – I know, just to make things a bit more fun! Fortunately he contacted me and after discussion with the Doctors at the Hospital feels that a trial of longterm antibiotics is worthwhile, seeing as it’s the only blood test to come back positive and the only treatment that I have responded to. So today is day one of a three month rotating course of antibiotics. This has to work – I’m seriously out of options and more importantly patience!
