Still on that boat…

Strawberry blonde in a dizzy world!

Spinning top

October4

In the words of Dead Or Alive “you spin me right round baby right round”. My vertigo is absolutely terrible and I can’t walk for more than a few metres. The clinic did warn me about this but it’s still devastating. I have spent a lot of time on the bathroom floor (I really must clean it as my chance of catching something else from that is highly likely!). Keeping my head still but wanting to be sick is an interesting conundrum.

My poor mother had to sit in the kitchen for three hours with me as it came on so suddenly and I could not move my head at all. At least my mum could read out some pages out of my latest book that I was given. It was interesting as apparently all my problems are my parents fault (awkward!) – just kidding it’s really interesting and I love that person for trying to help me!

Dear God I hope these people in the American know what they are doing – I’m currently a total mess. I feel like I was let out of the box and now I’ve been shut back in 🙁

last week I was managing to do this which I now find much easier than walking. It’s not perfect as I had my phone on the ten second timer – yes I took it myself, ten seconds really isn’t that long and I needed a couple of attempts – not very zen! Don’t tell the benefits people though they will have me in the circus before you know it!

What’s worse is that I’m currently stuck in my sauna for another 15 minutes with Radio 1 on and the rapping has started – I’m WAY to old for Radio 1 and I must accept this. Golden Oldies it is for me. Well at least I have breakfast to look forward too.

And my awesome last pair of PJ’S thanks to all the night sweats I’m experiencing – hot stuff (excuse the pun!) aren’t I 😉

    Stick in there Sues and let’s hope the Americans know what they are doing! Very impressed with the Yoga thing. My head would be bright red if I did that for more than a second or two!

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.
