Sorry for the comms down. Things have been all over the place with both my physical and emotional health (I have been a bit cray cray) and I wanted to give a true reflection of how things have been. My sister (who lives in Australia) got married and the pre wedding stress, the actual wedding stress, and post wedding stress was immence and would have sent a fit and healthy person over the edge – I actually coped quite well, I guess being in a drug fulled state has its benefits 😉

I had been doing so amazingly well with my walking, even climbing Ivanhoe Beacon, this has been seen as pretty much mount Everest to me for the past six years! Yes I had to have a little rest at the top huffing and puffing but I was so happy to manage it – A-MAY-ZING!

It’s bigger than it looks honest!

But I have started a new protocol and very much like my much cared for sunflowers I have deteriorated big time – apparently this is a good thing, I’m not convinced myself but it is hard to be objective I guess.

So, the last three weeks have been vom-tastic. I did manage a weekend with the yoga girls which was a well needed break and an absolute hoot!

Yes resisting the chocolate fondant was a challenge, the Paleo diet is SO mean!

But I found something else that I could get involved in…

So Michael and I got well excited making distilled water for the next phase of my treatment – my kitchen looked like something out of breaking Bad:

But unfortunately it has meant a return of all my symptoms that I thought I had got rid of – words can not describe how gutted I feel (well perhaps a few but not very lady like ones!). Anyway talking to the “People in the Know” this is really common and I have to sit it out during this period of treatment. So that’s ok – until I found out I have to now do another nine weeks of this, there are only so many box sets a girl can take!

So, I’m just taking each day as it comes (generally on the sofa/bed trying to keep the meds down) and hope that this is worth it in the long run. It’s scary because I have been here before so many times, suffering so much with only more negative results. I just have trust that because I have had some relief for the first time in years that these guys know what they are doing…eek!
