Do What Makes You Happy

Hello Everyone!

After my week long blogging I’ve taken a break for a while. I’ve always been ill on top of my chronic illnesses so I’ve not bee great.

I did manage to go see my cousin before she went to prom, all dressing up looking older than me! I can’t believe my prom was nearly 6 years ago and back then my cousin wasn’t even in High School. 
              Megan and Me @ Megan's Prom 2015           I'm the one in the red dress @ My Prom 2009


I can’t believe what has happened and how different my life is now 6 years on from Prom. I remember hating the idea of leaving school and going to college which I was so right about as I despised college. I did have so much to look forward to back then though and so many dreams and aspirations for my life. I remember thinking how seen I’d be grown up, living away from home and starting my adult life. My life couldn’t be further from that now. 

After watching way too many films, tv shows and award shows lately I’m determined to head towards my dream of acting again. I’m determined more than ever to sort my life and live for me. This illness and other people around me have taken over and lead my life for me without me realising. I thought that because I had to leave Uni when I was 18 that that would be it and I would never get my life to a decent standard. 

I’ve grown to realise that no matter how old you are you can still achieve your dreams. You don’t have to be 18 to go to Uni or drama school. You don’t have to leave school and immediately decide what you want to do for the rest of your life and that is it. This is something I don’t think is explained enough at the end of school. 

When I was in school I felt like that you had to go to college and then to Uni. If you do want to do that, thats fine too but don’t panic and waste too much time thinking about what courses you want to do. You can always change your mind. I’d say to make sure you give something a fair go. I left Uni after only two weeks but that was for health reasons but if it’s because you’re not enjoying it there’s no point wasting 3 or more years of your life in Uni miserable. Oh and don’t just go cause your friends are. Do what you want to do and nothing else. 

Even after completing a degree you can change your mind. My own brother had a model making degree and he worked on some pretty good films straight after like Prometheus, Edge of Tomorrow and Star Wars but he now focuses on his music because it’s what he’s always loved too. He’ll always have that degree and experience in model making and the contacts he’s made to fall back on too which is always good but he’s a lot happier making music and thats more important. 

You have plenty of time to make your mind up. Try different things, don’t give up too easily but don’t make yourself unhappy. 
Do what makes you happy.

Take Care,
Natasha Jade

Doctors, Hospitals and No Success.

I decided I think I should explain exactly what I have been through with the doctors and hospitals including treatments. As I explained in my post 'The Past 3 Years...' this all started just over 3 years ago now. I started having flu like symptoms just after Christmas 2010 and after seeing the doctors every week I was finally tested about 5 weeks later for Glandular Fever, by this time the doctor said the virus would probably have left my system so my blood tests all came back fine. Unfortunately there was never a definite answer for this mystery illness that started these long, long years. After finally going back to college and completing my A Levels and having my 18th birthday in June 2011 I went back to the doctors after the cold, blocked nose and coughing symptoms had gone but left me still aching all over, mainly in my legs.  At the beginning of August 2011 I went to the doctors AGAIN and I was sent to the 'GUM' department of the Princess Royal Hospital to be ...

My week of HELL.

Hello again! First of all I want to say thank you to any comments, messages and emails I have received since I started this blog. I didn’t think anyone would even read it. It means a lot to me the amount of support there is and that people understand M.E/CFS and Fibromyalgia even that little bit more. So first I’ll talk about the Lidocaine Infusion I had two weeks ago. Basically I sit in a chair and they hook me up to all the machines that check your heart beat etc. Then they take your blood pressure and weigh you to check everything is okay for you to go ahead with it. Then they put the cannula into your hand and add the drip which slowly for an hour and a half puts the anaesthetic into you. Then they take your blood pressure every 10 minutes whilst you just sit there (bored). After the infusion I didn’t feel any different apart from feeling dizzy. The next day I did think the pain in my arms was better which was good but my legs just seemed to get worse and worse. ...

30 Years of Mr and Mrs Spychalski

27.06.1987 - Mum and Dad's Wedding Day. On the 27th of June 1987 was Pamela Robinson and Richard Spychalski's wedding day, soon to be my Mum and Dad. I wasn’t around 30 years ago. People still say it was the best wedding they’d ever been to, that's probably because of the free bottle of vodka they placed on every table. Mum and Dad lets face it, the six years of marriage without me in it were pretty dull. I must have been the best anniversary gift you’ve ever received the day after your six year anniversary, I guess Dad was pleased he could save money on a gift that year, until he found out I was a girl and realised the small amount of money on a gift for mum is nothing compared to the money spent on a daughter for the rest of his life. You're welcome Dad. If I’m honest I don’t know how they haven’t both packed up and moved away from me, together or not, although they are on holiday together this week, without me. My Mum will be up all day and night...
