Still on that boat…

Strawberry blonde in a dizzy world!

Day number…just another rubbish one!

December17

Well unfortunately I’ve not exactly been base jumping down to my local shop to buy my pint of milk as I was hoping! I can’t believe how after all these years I’m still foolish enough to get my hopes up that something will actually work. I think I just need to give up and be put out of my misery!

My eyes still haven’t recovered from the patch and I got the mother of all migraines that lasted for four days once I removed the flippin thing, not fun at all! I’ve had a couple of days where I have left the house or done something fun but the pay back almost doesn’t make it worth the while. I had a lovely time with the yoga girls followed by a very drunken afternoon of jazz in the local pub – two glasses of wine and I loved EVERYBODY!

I had some great Christmas drinks with some friends at the weekend, still laughing at a mate squeezing into my Christmas elf jumper – annoyingly it looked better much on him than me! I had another bad day today and I’m feeling Pretty low.

I’ve tried dietary ‘stuff’ before (gluten free, dairy free, chocolate free, citrus free, caffeine free – well just everything nice free!) and it has made no absolutely no difference to my symptoms. In my desperation I think I will have to give it another go, I’m running out of options and I categorically can’t live like this. I’m going to give myself a couple of weeks over Christmas so that I can enjoy a mulled wine or two. Starting in January I’m cutting out anything Lyme friendly (and writing it on here so that I actually tick to it!). Thinking I’m going to need a lot of willpower…oh and a massive mulled wine right now to make up for being alcohol free once more!

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.
