About Me

Hello :)



My name is Natasha Jade and unfortunately I suffer from M.E/CFS and Fibromyalgia. I’m 24 years old and currently live in Yorkshire, England. When I was diagnosed with these two chronic illnesses. When I'm not bed bound or in a wheelchair you might find me on a TV or Film set being paid to walk around pretending to talk (I'm an Extra, or a Supporting Artiste as the pay cheque says). My dream is to be an actress and hopefully when I get a better handle on my illness I'll be able to go to back to a drama school.

I started this blog for something to do from my bed and to try explain to friends and family who didn’t understand my illnesses but to also raise awareness. I’ve now grown to love writing and using my blog as an outlet not only about my illness but about anything going on in my life. (if there is anything exciting at all)

I love films, beauty, books, music, taking photo’s, the odd soap and creating my own handmade products (mainly scrapbooks to save all my photos and memories) I’m obsessed with all films and TV shows to do with fantasy or action, ask me anything about Harry Potter or The Hunger Games and I’ll know it, just don’t mention Sirius Black or Fred Weasley’s death (actually any HP death), it’s still a sore subject. I spend a lot of time in Orlando, Florida so you’ll see a lot of posts about all things Disney and Universal. 

I post every Monday, Wednesday and Friday depending on how my illness decides to treat me at the time. Every month I’ll post a monthly favourites, a health update, reviews on films/books/etc, day in the life, something to make or do, about a day out or trip and lots, lots more. 

I hope you like something I write and help me raise awareness M.E/CFS and Fibromyalgia.Please let me know what you think or any ideas you have that you’d like me to blog about.Take care and I’ll see you soon!

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...
