Last week I had my Gastroenterology Appointment at the hospital. This was way over due because for unknown reasons I received two appointment cancellations by post and then each time I had to be put back on the waiting list.

UVLrx – Let there be light!
Whilst I was in California accessing intravenous antibiotics, I also tried various other alternative treatments. One of which was an 8 week course of UVLrx. This is a new cutting edge treatment for infection and virus load and is getting great results for patients with Chronic Lyme. Ideally it would have been more beneficial for…
I made it home…finally!
Back in November last year (2015), it was finally time to head back the UK after a long 8 months in California having intensive medical treatment for this Chronic and life alliterating illness; Lyme Disease.

California…Round Two
On the 16th March I set off on a big bird (plane) for my next course of intensive medical treatment over in California to help my ongoing fight against Chronic Lyme Disease. I had no idea just two months earlier that I would need to return to the specialist clinic, nor that I had to…
2015 Continues…
February and March continued to be both challenging months: Symptom central and yet more doctors appointments. It also saw the start of my new fundraising campaign for this on-going and madly expensive medical treatment. March brought around my first A&E trip of 2015… I had huge reservations about going, as from previous experiences I know…
2015 begins and the drama continues…
January has been a complete whirlwind; an unpredictable, rapid and destructive 4 weeks! It has been a challenge and not quite the positive start to a new year that I had hoped. For now, I have given up on the of idea of being able to predict how I will feel in the future, when…
The last chapter of 2014
December seemed to completely fly by. Maybe it was all the distraction from the festive movies on the box and decorating the tree! I have always been a huge Christmas fan, maybe I was an elf in my past life who knows?! In an ideal world I would have been joining in with all the fun…
