Day 29

November18

I’m still not sleeping well, even fell out of bed the other night which is something I haven’t done since I was about two years old! Looking on the bright side I must have been asleep for a little bit to actually manage that. I felt pretty bad again today but went to the shop with my good old mum and got some food. I was called by my GP who was concerned as my latest blood tests showed that I was neutropenic and a little anaemic.

This means that my white blood cells that help to fight bacterial infection are very low. Glad to see that all the things I have been doing to improve my immune system (supplements, herbs, diet, sauna) have worked so well! I have to avoid people with germs and colds – not to difficult as I’m not exactly a social butterfly at the moment. Thinking about it, although it’s bad it kind of backs up that I have a chronic bacterial infection using up all my resources, so maybe, just maybe, I am on the right track? The diet to improve me immune system is clearly not working, where’s that gluten full cake?

    Mmm. Cake. My decidedly gluten full Christmas cake is already made and being fed suitably large amounts of brandy. It’ll knock a few socks off on Christmas Day!

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.
