Still on that boat…

Strawberry blonde in a dizzy world!

The muscle tension in my jaw has caused my jaw to keep locking and this has meant that I have been eating and drinking through a straw at times. Laughing is not good (not too much worry about that at the mo!). I have had to cancel my dental appointment reason being ‘I can’t open my mouth’ – the fun continues!

No chewy NKD bars for me for the time being 😉

I did have a nice trip to Spain (airBnB is awesome!) but I’ll write about that when I’m not feeling really ill as I managed well there 🙂

    I know. A professional photographer (and I suspect some filters) were not used at all – honest 😉

    If only I was well, I’m sure I’d be a Oscar winning actress by now! I’ve certainly had plenty of practice at pretending I feel ok 😉

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.
