I’d like to start this blog by thanking everyone who read, liked and commented on my last post.
I was overwhelmed by the response and very touched, thank you so much 🙂
It’s been a lil while since my last post as my eyesite and neuro problems have been pretty bad. It’s difficult to concentrate or think to write anything longer than a text or picture post. My mind gets so fuzzy and confused.
I’ve also been on more antibiotics for my flu that I’ve had for months and sinus infection. My dr has put me forward for a sinus tissue scrape op as my MRI also showed mass tissue in my nasel tubes. I’m willing to have it done, no matter how much it’ll set of my conditions. If it stops my constant sinus infections and flu I’m going to give it a whirl.
I have decided to try natural remedies in the hope they can ease some of my issues.
I’ve started eating really well again, Greek youghurt too and I haven’t eaten youghurt since I was 10!
I’m starting by trying to eat foods that are good for energy and nutrition. I have found chia seeds too, just a spoonful on anything I eat is apparently really good for you energy wise, something I could really really do with more of!
I am also going to try acupuncture for my pain, I’ve researched and found a place that does it for ME and fibro so I will book the appointment in a couple of weeks. I can’t do it right now as my body is too poorly to get there, but I’m determined to try!
I don’t think by changing my diet I will be cured, so many people say how they’ve been ‘cured’ by healthy eating.. If it really was that easy then medical science and professionals would be giving us fruit not meds and there’d be no one suffering with the many different chronic illnesses out there. What a wonderful world that would be!
I’m doing this to try and get more body energy and ease my pain which is through the roof at the moment.
Every millimetre of my body hurts day in day out at the moment, from my toes to my hair roots. My shakes are back and my body muscles so swollen and painful, I’m now bruising outside on my skin from the pressure inside.
I’m better at working with my conditions these days, listening to my body and not being silly trying to do things that I’ll suffer from. But when you’re in this much pain and muscle locking anything you do is too much. The act of getting into bed, or moving at all sends the pain and muscles screaming through your body.
It’s ridiculous, maddening and it’s depressing.
Chronicpain is difficult to understand unless you have it. The ‘normal’ pain people have, such as achy, hurt yourself, pulled a muscle pain is just the tip of an iceberg compared to chronic 24/7 pain.
It affects everything, your movement, sleep, eating, toilet trips, dressing.. Literally anytime you move or breathe it hurts so badly your body can shake and you can be sick from it.
I’ve had pain for years, which now I know it was due to my chronic conditions. My doctors now think I’ve had these conditions for at least ten years, they got worse over time then bam, my body had enough and disabled me a couple of years ago.
I thought it was normal, the every day aches and pains I had. But my pain nowadays compared to then is minute, and I would love to swap back to that.
Hopefully my new diet will help. I’m not expecting miracles, but it’s worth a try. I’m at the point I will try anything to help now, well anything within reason. I don’t want scammers or people asking for money claiming their remedies will cure me! No thank you very much, you can stay out of my mailbox and away from my blog.
I’m unwell, not stupid.
