We her we are now in Jan 2010. A lot has happened to me in this time. I had Spinal Decompression surgery in Jan 2009 and had to recover from that operation. All I can say is that at least the doctors are listening to me now and I had the extra bag of fluids I needed not to get the dreaded ME headache.
At slight problem to my recovery, fell backwards on to my back and hit my head (don,t know how) fracturing my sacrum. This hurt like hell and could not sit or lie on my back for 6 weeks and went back to using crutches. I have had a few other slip ups but laugh at myself and my crap leg/balance !
Moving onwards and at present I had been to Wareham Hospital for Lifestyle Management and now understand more about my illness. Acceptance is still a problem as I dont want to accept that I will have this Illness forever. I have been writing which is therapy to me, but sometimes its not as good as others. I have met many new fantastic people in the Dorset ME Support Group and my creative writing group at Weymouth Library.
I am at present embarking on a new diet after going to see an Allergist in Weymouth. There is a lot of stuff writen about Candida and Gluten and How it effects people with ME, so giving it a go.
It is Gluten, Yeast, Dairy and Sugar free, no tomatoes, pototoes, tea, coffee, mushrooms, apples, oranges, lemons or mandarins. It also showed up I had a deficency in Minerals Vit c and Vit B6 and Iron so am now taking a supplement. I am have nearly completed a week and will publish some recipes at a later date. I can now see my tongue is pink not white.
I also have been doing a shoe auction for the Dorset Support Group and got to meet Jim Knight MP who donated a pair to me. So things have changed and I enjoy different things now
