Reflecting with a goddess
So the other day I was doing a meditation by Sentia Yoga on Insight Timer called ‘Nine divine days day six the healer’. I have been enjoying this whole series but this one really resonated with me. In it she spoke about the Roman Goddess Feronia and while listening I just felt a lightbulb go off in my head. I have found it stayed with me and since then I have been reflecting with a goddess something I have not really done before. You see this is the Roman Goddess of health and abundance but also of freedom. She granted freedom to slaves and at first I struggled to get…

Am I in a flare?
So if you follow me on Instagram you will know that I have had a busy couple of weeks! I went to a weekend convention to meet some of my favourite Once Upon a Time actors, and then the following weekend we went to London to see Billy Joel in concert. I thought I had rested enough and been careful but then this week I have been asking myself…Am I in a flare? While I was at the convention I woke one morning with a lot of pain in my lower back like I had pulled something or trapped something. I have been treating it with heat ever since however…

Feeling overwhelmed and lost
Feeling overwhelmed and lost is something unfortunately I have come used to over the last couple of weeks. My health has not been the best, I’m trying to lower the dose of one of my meds, I got a virus that landed me in A&E….yeah it’s not been fun! Let’s start with the opioid crisis, I’m sure most chronic illness warriors have heard of this and it was just affecting America. However, it would seem that our government have taken a note from there and changed one of my meds to a class C drug. So I had to have a phone call with my GP practice pharmacist to see…
Alternative Marie Kondo method for chronic illness
Hey everybody! Wow I cannot get a hold of my fatigue at the moment, and I think anyone who has the same issue will understand my problem. You see not too long ago a woman gained fame on Netflix for her show about decluttering and she is Marie Kondo! The problem I found was the Marie Kondo method is not really practical when you live with chronic illness and especially chronic fatigue. So, I had to come up with an alternative Marie Kondo method for chronic illness! Chronic fatigue is something that is very hard to deal with because people think it is just feeling tired so they assume if…
Let’s talk about mobility aids
Let’s talk about mobility aids so that’s things like walkers, walking sticks, crutches, wheelchairs of all the various kinds. Anything that helps us get around in the chronic illness community a lot of people use them not all wheelchair users have to be in a wheelchair full time. Not everybody who uses a walking stick needs it all the time and I think is this big gap between what society expects and what is needed. I’ve heard of people getting abused, getting shouted at even violence because of parking in disabled parking bays! So, it’s no wonder that we feel a little bit hesitant to go outside with a walker…

Hey everybody! Wow spring has sprung here in the UK finally and it feels lovely to have warm air and sunshine again! I can feel changes in myself and it feels really good because spring is bringing renewed confidence and I am not used to that, it feels pretty good though! If you have been following my blog and my You Tube channel, then you will know I have gone through a lot of changes over the last year or so.

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…
