Tired but happy
Hi everybody! So the last few days I have not done too much just because I have been so tired after my busy weekend. I am starting to see myself come out of that now and I can also see myself not so teary which is great! I think a lot of my crying was because I was so frustrated with my health and that I was taking co-codamol which I realised was causing me to be very teary when I saw it was doing the same to my Nan. Yesterday I had my hair cut, I went to the hairdressers feeling like I was exposed and my anxiety was…
A busy but happy few days
Hi Everybody! First of all I am sorry I did not update yesterday I was spending the day offline as it was my Hubbys birthday. We didn’t do an awful lot because we both felt tired but we did have my dad and his girlfriend over and we had a curry and watched The Force Awakens in 3-D which rocked!!! The day before that was my Nan’s 90th birthday and her first since my Grandad passed away. We all went out for afternoon tea and a really nice hotel near us called Weston Hall which none of us had done before but it was so lovely! They served us unlimited tea…
Depression and frustration
So last week I fainted, this is not something that has happened to me since I was 17 and saw Blur in concert with my boyfriend Andrew Edmonds….so yeah it is not something that happens! I went from feeling pretty good and getting ready to do yoga, to extreme fatigue and my hubby calling the paramedics! I spent the rest of that day asleep because they did not take me in to have any tests or anything, the next day I went to my GP. She took my blood pressure which she said was low and told me to drink more (I drink 2 liters a day) and to exercise…
sleepy but fighting
Hi everybody! Well the last few days I have found myself tired very very tired. Each day I say I am going to get up and do yoga and meditate and do housework and then I find myself unable to wake up with the alarm and so tired all day I just want to curl into a little ball and sleep. This is one of the many problems with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia that people don’t tend to talk about and that is the intense want to do things. It isn’t like when you get home from work and plop down on the sofa and watch TV exhausted…it is more…
Trying to relax – Massage Review
Hey everyone! This is a sort of review sort of update…so I have been having a lot of back pain recently and it has been hard for me to sit up for long periods at a time. I am waiting for ultrasounds to my shoulders and physiotherapy appointments and it is just a bit of a nightmare when you are in pain and just want help now. So my yoga teacher who is also a beauty therapist and I thought maybe a back massage would help and to be honest I knew she was right as well as being at a point where I would do anything to help the…
Depression and motivation
Hi Everybody! First of all I apologise for being a day late in posting this I am struggling with a headache that will not go and I had the day offline to rest…it didn’t work but it was worth a try! So my depression this year has been hell I am not going to lie I started the year really unwell, then my grandad passed away and since then I have not been coping at all well! I have been trying to keep doing my yoga and eating well but in all honesty it has been sporadic at best! Now I feel like finally my meds are starting to kick…
Pain and depression
Hey there everyone! First of all I am really sorry for not updating as regularly or consistently, my reasons can be explained with two words…Pain and Depression. One of the few things that keeps me grounded and makes me happy is yoga, I love it but over this year it has become harder to practice. I am having a lot of pain in my back and shoulders as well as crunching and knocking sounds when I move. The pain feels like I have been kicked in the middle of my back and radiates up and over my shoulders. I know it is fibromyalgia pain, but my doctors do not seem to…
Starfury Faebles 4 review
Hey friends! So this past weekend I was at Heathrow near London for a convention for the TV show Lost Girl and some of the new shows that the cast is now starring in. You can get more information HERE I have been attending Starfury events since probably around 2002 and I have to say over all the various event organisers I have gone to these type of events with they are my favoourite. The attendees are a priority and it feels more like a family than a way to just make money, it is clear that the people running the events are fans too and the people who have…
Diet confusion
Hi friends! So I am struggling at the moment and I have no idea what to do or who to ask and to be honest it is making me tearful and feel really down. So I have been having digestive issues for a while now and a few months ago I had cameras everywhere to check I had no tumours or ulcers or anything like that which were thankfully all clear. However, those problems are still present and I am having a lot of stomach pains… So about a month ago I went to a new doctor at Burton hospital to try and find out more and he said it…
Exciting weekend!
Hi guys! Wow I had a busy weekend, it started Friday when me, Lee, my dad and his girlfriend Linda went to a shopping center here called Merry Hill…I call it Merry Hell but I am slightly strange lol! I managed to get some Funko pops, and a statue of one of my favourite actors roles from a video game he was in, and some make up brushes from the Body Shop. It was just a really nice day and I really enjoyed myself out with Lee mainly and we just met up with Linda and Dad for lunch. I was exhausted when we got home and basically after a…
