Still on that boat…

Strawberry blonde in a dizzy world!

Well Sardinia was as awesome as I expected! After a couple of days the vertigo settled down and I managed to do some really relaxing yoga (we didn’t just stand and chat all day honest!)

As time went on I managed to do more and more, eventually even (attempting) Acroyoga. It was so amazing to feel like a ‘normal’ person for a while!

By the end of my time I even got onto chanting on the beach and meditation – well, if you can’t beat them join them and all that!

Alcohol wasn’t my friend initially after being on the treatment for so long, I was such a light weight. The girls were very supportive and with their encouragement by the end of the week I was the first one with her hand up in the air for a drink!

It really helped to have a good catch up and a natter with the girls, it’s so amazing to make such good friendships from a holiday four years ago. We always have such a good giggle no matter where we are:

As long as we can have a glass of Prosecco (or two!)

Thanks again to everyone who helped me get there. I’d had a really rough time on the treatment prior so to have such a wonderful time at the end of it really did make it bearable. My vertigo was very well behaved whilst away and the good patch lasted for longer than normal on my return. I’m really hoping this means that the antibiotics are having an effect, only time will tell…

Hi, My name is Susan and in 2010 I suddenly got very sick with vertigo and extreme fatigue. My life as I knew it changed forever. I had to leave my job as a junior Doctor to move back home with my family as I was unable to look after myself, let alone other people. It took a very long time, about 2644 doctors visits and ALL the tests to be told ‘congratulations, all your results are normal there is nothing wrong with you’, which was the most devastating news of all as there clearly WAS something horribly wrong, we just could not identify it.

 

Eventually, I was diagnosed with Chronic Lyme Disease which was great news as I finally had a reason to feel so ill. That was until I realised that there is no real recognised treatment and I was once again left to trying to navigate debilitating symptoms alone. More doctors, more tests, protocol after debilitating protocol and plenty of ‘ah ha’ moments later I finally started to heal. It was quite the journey and I have learnt a lot about what treatments are out there, and perhaps more importantly, the body’s amazing capacity to heal. I am now in a position where I want to help others to reclaim their health.
