I don’t know, did I?

I was doing really well until my head got filled with porridge and cotton wool resulting in a total car crash of a mess. I’m going to list some of the things that I actually remember doing. Warning this could make you laugh or just make you want to send round a responsible adult to supervise:

  • Signed a leaving card but forgot how to spell my name so had to bodge it.
  • Put a baking tray on top of gluten free pizza – have had to ditch Paleo (diet not some Spanish lover) for a bit as I’m struggling to keep any drugs down without it. Yes I have pizza every other day!
  • Tried to put baking tray in fridge – probably pizza related
  • Left cooker on (I think after cooking a pizza – I guess it’s a good chance lets face it!)
  • Got left over bolognese (whoop whoop not pizza!) portion out of the fridge and put it in the microwave and waited thinking it was taking a long time – wasn’t in the microwave it was in the fridge.
  • Could not work out simple math (I have a spreadsheet) to tell my doctor how many tablets I needed – I have two degrees!
  • Felt a bit better so thought I’d try a yoga class at my local gym – got there an hour early.
  • Got things ready for a nice cuppa – yup salt and pepper probably not to useful.
  • Put a very expensive decafinated Twinings tea bag into my already made decaf coffee – trust me Tecoffee will never catch on.
  • Can’t win any arguments with my boyfriend (this is a right bummer) as I truly can’t remember what I’ve said or done most of the time.
  • Have to have simple plots on TV dramas explained to me. Since when did Agatha Christie start writing for Neighbours?
  • Left £50 cash back in Tescos.
  • Next time I visited Tescos I concentrated so hard on not forgetting the cashback that I left my bank card instead – handy.
  • Spatial awareness rather off – I cant park for s**t (no comments about women drivers please!)
  • Texted the wrong person to ‘please pick up some cream for a rash’ (it was drug related rash on my legs just to clarify)
  • Writing this I took a rather ridiculous amount of time looking for the exclamation mark, you may have noticed that I use this rather a lot!!!!!!!!!

    That’s an impressive list Sues 🙂 is this a side effect of the meds?!

    Hiya, I have more to add if only I could find the list! Yes it is a side effect as my brain is being rattled a lot with all the meds. Hope you and your family are well? xx

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.
