A Little Update & A New Layout!

I’m back!

Yes, I said I’d be blogging a lot in Florida and yes, I said I’d blog three times a week since July but yes, I’ve massively failed thanks to my illness. As my way to say sorry I have a new layout to please your eyes! I’m still gonna be tweaking it here and there but it’s looking a hell of a lot better. I was so excited to blog about Halloween and everything but I’ve just been so ill and even worse since I got home over a week ago now, so ill I don’t think I’ve left the house since.

I’ve also been going through private messaged and emails and replying to them all. It’s so good to hear from so many people and hear your words of support. It’s also been amazing to receive messages from other people in similar situations health wise and share treatments and doctors stories.

I’m planning so many more blogs leading up to christmas hopefully full of baking, crafts, present ideas and other festive ideas. I’m already listening to Christmas songs, I even made my mum listen to one in the car in america the day after Halloween. So much is changing since I’ve been home and lots of exciting plans for the new year which I’m excited and scared about, you’ll understand when I explain sometime soon.

My next post in two days will be about something important to me and a little bit of a rant. It’s not so fun but its something I think needs to be discussed. Then I’ve decided I’m going to write a week to week blog about my 2 months in Orlando hopefully every other day full of photos too.

Let me know what you think about my new blog layout and anything you want to know about my time in Orlando and I’ll include it in my holiday blogs. Also anything you want me to blog about at all especially during Christmas!!

See you Thursday!

Take care

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...
