Still on that boat…

Strawberry blonde in a dizzy world!

Shake it, shake it, like a poloroid picture, shake it , shake it (oh oh)

Yeah bit random I know but that lyric from Outcasts’ song Hey Ya sums it up nicely! Well to add to my problems I have developed shaking and twitching. It’s like I’ve been plugged into the mains. It’s pretty scary but I could cope with it (well just about – knives and forks can be a bit dangerous!) if I felt better in other ways, but no, that would be all too easy.

My vertigo is really off. I’m all over the place and I almost even missed sitting on a stool the other day as the world just dipped from under me. I have also slept for days. Not the best timing when I supposed to be going on a holiday in a week.

I was having one of my random good days last week so I psyched myself up to go to Tescos. I made sure my phone was fully charged, that a responsible adult was about if I had trouble and then took a few deep breaths and left the house. I managed to battle the traffic and get to the shops. I had one of the closest parking spots to the shop, I almost did a ‘hi-five me’. I went to get my bag and realised that I had all my bags for life but no handbag. A few naughty words were shouted and I drove home. I was so mad at myself I missed the turning for my village and almost doubled my journey length. Another thing to add to my list of things to remember on the inside of my door…if I remember of course 😉

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.
