Still on that boat…

Strawberry blonde in a dizzy world!

Are you having a laugh?

I’ve had the headache from hell for over three weeks now and it is awful. I went to my local surgery to have some ‘safety’ bloods done – yeah that fills you with confidence right? Anyway, I looked so awful that the nurse said I needed to see a Doctor. I explained that I really didn’t think that there would be much that they could do but she insisted and I was right, nothing could be done to help. I’m already on maximum doses of the medications they would put you on for my cervicogenic headache – yeah worked out what it is between two doctors and Google. I then went to the receptionist to book in for my next blood test and she then said I should see one of the doctors as I looked so awful. It’s like busses, you can never get an appointment and then offered two in one day! It was really good that they were trying to help though 🙂

So I’m basically stuck with this headache that isn’t just a headache it’s like the mother of all hangovers. I couldn’t even stand long enough to heat up some food in the microwave the other day as it gets worse the more I stand or move. So I can hardly move my head but on a treatment that makes me sick – hmmmmm life not playing fair at all!

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.
