Still on that boat…

Strawberry blonde in a dizzy world!

Don’t get sad get mad!

December21

Bugger waiting until January, if I have these bugs in my blood I’m going to starve them out right now! I have had no carbs, no caffeine, no dairy and no sugar today. I’m following an Autoimmune Paleo diet which I’ve modified (I don’t want to lose more weight). I do realise I probably can’t keep todays enthusiasm up, and no doubt I’ll be selling my granny for a piece of dairy milk by next week but its a positive start. Unfortunately I spent so much money on recipe books on Amazon that I now can’t actually afford the ingredients to create them but live and learn 😉

I had gluten free porridge with berries for breakfast, tuna steak on a big green salad for lunch and chicken with roasted cauliflower for tea.

I think what really helped is my Yoga teacher advised me to take Tumeric tea. Tumeric is an natural inflammatory and seems to be the ‘in herb’ right now. I made the tea this afternoon whilst chanting ‘please don’t be rank, please don’t be rank, please don’t be rank’ and guess what? it was bloody awful, but on the plus side I have felt so sick ever since I’ve not had any cravings what so ever 🙂

I’ve also got back into my juicing, much nicer than Tumeric tea but not quite a mulled wine!

    Hope this wasn’t your Christmas dinner? Have you seen the article that Marcus shared on Facebook about Lyme’s? Interesting reading.

    Yes it was, unfortunately far to many stories just like it including my own 🙁

    Hey Sues,
    I didn’t know you had been writing a blog until your mum mentioned it yesterday. It’s a great idea. I often wonder how you are getting on and now I can keep up to date. I’ve got everything crossed that you are now seeing the right consultants and have the right diagnosis and that sometime soon you will find a management plan that works…or even better a treatment that can cure this big bad bugger. Hope you had a good Christmas – sorry we didn’t get to see you yesterday. Please if you ever need anything from Berko or need some company, please give me a shout. Sending lots of love Hayley. Xxx

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.
