I went to yoga today which went surprisingly ok, mainly because my normal yoga teacher was off sick and the cover teacher was a bit more gentle. That was followed by ANOTHER rubbish sofa day, feeling like a prize idiot for doing too much and making myself feel bad. I don’t think I’m ever going to get the balance right but I’m so sick of my sofa, there is even a body imprint on it now!

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.
