Still on that boat…

Strawberry blonde in a dizzy world!

Thank god for gluten free pasta

July20

Well, things are bloody awful. I feel so sick I can’t even open the fridge as the smell of pretty much anything makes me retch. My head and neck are still killing me and when it has been over two weeks you do start worrying that it will never end. Especially since nothing helps it, I only get some relief from ice packs and hot water bottles.

I have to eat when I take the antibiotics and the only thing that has worked so far is pasta and pesto. I’ve had that every day this week. It keeps the tablets down but the nausea comes back not long after. I went to bed last night (after taking a zillion essential tablets) taking deep breaths and saying to myself ‘don’t be sick, don’t be sick, don’t be sick’. Not the most relaxing way to go to sleep!

This morning I feel like I’ve had about four bottles of red wine and not the good stuff! God even mentioning wine is making me want to hurl. I guess I have just got to focus on the end game.  🙁

Oh and looking for images of vomiting was a really dumb idea!

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.
