ME-Awareness week

This week ( 11th - 17th) has been ME- awareness week.

And i just want to say how proud i am of all my spoonie sibling for all that they have done this week. A but load of money has been raised and a huge amount of awareness!

I'm not going to say anything about ME on this post because i don't feel that i need to. So many of the wonderful women who i look up to have done blog post on ME this week and honestly i don't think i could come close to the great work they have done so all i am going to do is link in their blog posts ( and Instagram accounts) for you to take a look at if you want to know a bit more about the invisible Illness me and many others suffer from.

I just want to point out that this is just a handful of the blog post that have been done by some incredibly inspiring people.

I really hope you take to time to read at least one.

I'm Back!

Hi Lovely people

 I know it has been a while since i have blogged and for that i am sorry. A lot has been happening in my life and that has sucked up all my energy leaving none for blogging.

For a month or two after my last post everything was fine health wise, i was just completely swamped with A-levels and had no energy left over :(

And then a few weeks before Easter i went down like a tone of bricks. and unfortunately i haven't really improved since then. I have had to make the difficult decision (again :( ) to not do my exams this year as i don't think i could even sit in the room for two hours let lone actually do the exam.

And because of this i have decided to take a break from my education for a while and focus on my health and happiness.

Another thing that has happened is i have gotten some new info on my health!
a few months ago i had some blood tests done to test the mitochondria in my cells. ( this is the part of your cells that makes the energy for your entire body) and we got some interesting results back. I believe my response was
 " My body is F****d up"

Because of this i have had to change my diet dramatically (for a start) and that has meant a lot of readjustment. I haven't had chocolate in months!

I plan on doing a more detailed post on my diet soon, as otherwise this would be an incredibly long post.

But getting back to the point, i now have a lot more time on my hands that isn't being taken up by school work so hopefully that will mean a will be blogging more regularly.



Lots of love

- Jess
