It’s always when I start to feel a bit more positive about things this illness just kicks me in the guts. I was so excited today to go out for lunch and had really rested up for it. It was lovely to get out, even cracked out the rug/dress that I made.
Boy am I paying for it now though, I’m exhausted, my whole body aches I feel plastered and the tinnitus is driving me crazy. I’m not sure I’m winning this battle, role on tomorrow 🙁
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.

Is it a rug, is it a dress? No, it’s a rug-dress!!!
I could be onto a winner here – make my millions!
