Flaring But Fighting
Hey everybody! If you read my last couple of blog posts, you will know that the lovely people at the DWP decided to take my PIP benefit from me! The stress of losing my PIP benefit has really hit me flaring my pain, fatigue and depression so I’m flaring but fighting! I have been really suffering with pain especially in my shoulders and arms, and that horrible dull ache in the back of my neck is back! That lovely pain is what triggers a migraine after a while so I am really hoping meditating more and trying to keep moving will help. I feel a little like a zombie at…
Frustration with Fatigue
Hey everybody! So like I mentioned earlier this week, my fatigue has kicked things up a notch and I am really hoping this is just a flare to do with the anaemia I have been put on iron tablets for. This week has been full of frustration with fatigue stopping me doing most things I want to do and when I push through it pushes back! I have started trying to do my physiotherapy exercises every other day, she told me to do them like that so they didn’t make me too tired. Then on the day I do not do that I thought I could do a little cleaning…which…
Fighting fatigue and gaining confidence
Hey everybody! First of all I am very sorry I did not have a blog post out to you on Friday last week I think things caught up with me. I have been fighting fatigue and gaining confidence two things that shouldn’t go together but this week strangely do! As you know I had a bit of a stressful week with going to two disability benefits reassessments in one week! I really feel as if dealing with that has increased my fatigue to a point where I wake up a lot later in the morning than usual, and spend most of the morning, laying in bed looking more zombie than…
Dealing with a busy and stressful week
Hey everybody! Wow last week was a bit of a nightmare! It was such a busy and stressful week and that is why I didn’t have a blog post on Friday I was so wiped out and I still am! The week before I got letters saying I have to be reassessed for both of my disability benefits. I hate when they do this and if you are in England and unable to work I am sure you can understand why I was so stressed about it. People who are not specialists and doctors, unlike the specialists and doctors who diagnosed us, sit and ask us questions then someone else…
Repercussions from Christmas
Hey everybody! Well Christmas is over, the New Years bells have been rung, and I am suffering the repercussions from Christmas! Thing is I cannot blame anyone at all but myself, and that is the annoying part, I did all the things I should not do I know better!! Over Christmas I started rewatching New Girl which is a favourite of mine and I tend to turn to these sort of comfort shows at difficult times. This Christmas was the first since my Grandmother passed away and it didn’t really feel like Christmas! To be honest, it just felt like another day and though I had my decorations up they…
Pacing Problems
Hey everybody! This week I have felt all over the place and honestly it had all been because of pacing problems! I think this is something that all chronic illness warriors will agree with me about, pacing is a constant struggle!! In the past I have posted about how to pace yourself for special occasions, and for a while there I thought I had it down pretty well. However, now I have a low blood count again, and the house is getting dusty and I just wish I could find a way to juggle all the things that need doing with the amount of energy my body can give me…
Ups and downs
Hey everybody! Well December has arrived, and we are all reflecting back on the year, while either dreading or getting excited for Christmas. As we look back we realise we all have times where we struggle but it is rarely all one way or the other, life is just full of ups and downs. Over the last few days I have been thinking back, and a good way of doing this I realised was to look at my vision board. I have never made one before, but I recently read a book called Moonology where the author teaches you about how to work with the moon and part of it…
When you feel like you’re running on empty
Hello my butterflies! My blood count is low, I have been put back on iron tablets and that’s it really! It’s so hard when you feel like you’re running on empty! Now I have suffered with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME) and fatigue from my other illnesses for years now, but if you remember I wrote a post not too long ago explaining that antibiotics had given me gastritis. So I had to have some blood taken so they could keep an eye on my liver and find out how it has been affected if at all. A few days ago I got a phone call from my doctor that my…
Having past life regression and meeting inspiring people
Hey everybody! Having past life regression and meeting inspiring people has been what this week was all about it was so cool but oh so tiring!! I love going on adventures but sometimes it just feels a bit overwhelming and by the end of the week I would rather be curled up sleeping than doing anything else! On Monday’s post I talked about having crystal healing for the first time and I can honestly say my pain and fatigue have been more manageable since! The pain and fatigue are still there I would be lying if I said wow it is a miracle I am cured because I still have…
I had crystal healing for the first time
Hey everyone! It is true I love alternative therapies and finding new ways of treating my chronic illnesses. So I thought I would try Crystal Healing it is something I have only just heard about but my friend does it so no time like the present! Recently I have had a lot of pain, I had a bout of gastritis and I have a very low blood count at the moment probably because of it. So I have found myself struggling to do things and get things done, which I have to admit is so frustrating at times, but haven’t we all been there before as chronic illness warriors? And…
