The girl who was

Today, the 10th September, marks 6 years since the start of my M.E. Years.  And it doesn’t feel as bad as I thought it would.  To say that life has not gone as I thought it would seems somewhat of an understatement. I have long forgotten what it’s like not to wake up poorly andContinue reading “The girl who was”

Those Dining Room Days Revisited

Today (apparently) marks two whole years since my last stint in the dining room.  If you’ve only recently joined my ‘M.E. myself and I’ journey this may well mean absolutely nothing to you, but quite simply, there was a time during the last few years when I was too unwell to walk up or climbContinue reading “Those Dining Room Days Revisited”

The perceptions of others

I am a bit nervous to go home today. It feels a bit silly to feel like this. But the other day, when the postman was ringing our doorbell & I was too poorly to get out of bed to answer the door, I overheard the woman next door say something about me in aContinue reading “The perceptions of others”

Those of you who follow my Instagram account will knowContinue reading “Setback City”

Better late than never

In July 2013 one of my uni pals and I had tickets to go to an outdoor cinema close to home. At the very last minute I had to cancel, and by last minute I mean she’s already started her hour-and-a-bit journey to see me. I was gutted. Properly gutted. I remember sobbing in theContinue reading “Better late than never”

Bleak

In 2012 I started this blog and in doing so I had made the decision to share my journey through chronic illness with whoever came across it I the Internet.  So I will share all of it with you; the good the bad and the ugly. Yesterday was hard. It was perhaps only the 3rdContinue reading “Bleak”

Weigh Day Wednesdays

I am now 3 whole stone heavier than I was when my M.E. journey began in September 2010. Today that fact makes me miserable. Everything wobbles. Nothing is toned. My thighs and bum are covered in cellulite and have lost the shape they once had. I repulse myself if I’m being truly honest. I feelContinue reading “Weigh Day Wednesdays”
