This is an article I’ve been meaning to write for a while, and a number of you have emailed me asking for tips for travelling with a Chronic Illness. Travel is fantastic- an opportunity to experience something knew, whether you’re travelling down the road or 10,000 miles away. However, due to the often unexpected nature […read more]
When I think back to having a selection of quick, go-to articles that would’ve made my life a whole lot easier when I was sleeping for 22 hours a day (more on this here), the post I’m about to write would have been really helpful to me. During CFS, you don’t actively realise that […read more]
(Mind Detox Sessions are now live and available to book here!) Ever since the beginning of 2015, as we welcomed in the New Year in Bali, I knew that 2015 was going to be a big one. I had no idea what it would look like, but I knew that I’d gain a lot of […read more]
It’s been a while since I’ve put a vlog together for you all, so I thought I’d talk about a topic which a lot of you seem to mention at the moment, which is…… guilt. Guilt and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome from my experience go hand-in-hand. I can see you all nodding your head already…well, […read more]
OK- confession time. I’ve been off work for the last few weeks with a hip and back injury after slipping on a wet patch on the floor of the place we were staying in a few weekends ago up in Byron Bay. I’m not too sure why I didn’t tell you all before now, […read more]
As I mentioned on my Facebook page a little while ago, I’ve become very interested over the last few months in not just helping people with CFS/M.E, but in spreading the word about the illness, in making people aware of the condition and in trying to somehow smash the myth that we’re all just lazy […read more]
(Enrolments have now closed). What? The Take Care Project is about something simple, which many of us (including myself) forget from time-to-time- that if we’re not taking care of ourselves, we can’t be of service to others, and we’re also doing ourselves a complete disservice. Many of us (again, my hand’s going up here) think […read more]
I’m sure that if I told you you were courageous right now, you’d probably tell me I was mad. But, you’d probably say something, then slowly turn back towards me, curious as to why I’d given you that now oh-so unfamiliar label. How can someone who feels so weak and helpless demonstrate outrageous courage […read more]
This article was reblogged for my article featured on health and wellbeing website, MindBodyGreen. Illness affects most of us at one point or another, whether it’s from an allergy a cold, or having to stay in bed for months — if not years — on end. I was in the latter category, having being diagnosed […read more]
Whenever I hear people on Facebook and websites talk about the pain and muscular discomfort they’re feeling, my heart really, really goes out to them. The muscular pains were a constant reminder of my illness from the second I woke up to the moment I went to bed. I always used to wake up […read more]
CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) and Fibromyalgia always seem to stand together under the same umbrella. There was a point during my recover when I thought that my CFS might have moved into Fibromyalgia, but after having investigated, I knew this probably wasn’t the case. Image taken from here So, what is the major difference […read more]
