It’s busy being ill

January19

Today I have been far too hyper and jittery despite the insomnia last night to sit down and watch TV. Lets face it I do my fair share of that and it makes a change to have some energy. I still have that awful feeling that the ‘episodes’ could come on at any time but hey, what can you do? So, I have done some cooking and baking as clearly from last nights efforts (the messed up meal was actually still pretty good) I’m out of practice.

Detox[1]

When my symptoms get crazy I get told to detox more (and more and more and more) because my body is reacting to the toxins released from killing off the bugs. This is what I have to try and do on a daily basis, but I am often too ill to do it all as you will see:

  • I get up (normally after a terrible nights sleep) take my meds and then do 40 minutes in my portable sauna whilst drinking lots of water with Burbur and Pinella in (they help you detox).
  • Then 40 minutes (or so) of yoga followed by a healthy breakfast of porridge made with almond milk with berries mixed in (good antioxidants) accompanied my more meds.
  • Plenty of lemon water and decaf green tea throughout the day.
  • A nutritional gluten free, sugar free, dairy free meal at lunch with more meds.

  • Attempt to have a detox green smoothie (it’s not as bad as it looks).

  • More green tea/ginger tea/lemon water/Burbur and Pinella throughout the day with more meds pre evening meal.

  • Another nutritional meal with more meds in the evening.
  • An Epsom salt bath followed by more meds pre bed time.
  • I also have lymphatic drainage once a week to speed up getting the toxins out of my body.

Yes I go to the loo a lot! So as you can see you have to be pretty much fit and well to achieve all of the above, being ill is a full time job I just do what I can manage.

But I’m not perfect…I have the occasional chocolate brownie as I’m no saint – just kidding actually I am, they are gluten free, dairy free, sugar free (virtually, 90% cocoa solids). What a day I’m shattered  😉

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.
