I have had a rough few weeks…nothing life threatening and I am perfectly safe…I have just been feeling downright awful. Which is why I have been a bit quiet round here…hard to think of things to write when feeling unwell. My main problem is nausea…constant, unexplained nausea…one specialist called it Functional Nausea. It all started […]

My body talks too much!
By Sarah in General, Health Tags: autoimmune disease, functional nausea, lactose Intolerant, thyroid
I live in a body that talks too much…I mean it complains…a lot I should explain that I am not referring to voices in my head, or anything like that…it’s more like feelings…messages, if you will. I have nothing seriously wrong with me…least that I know of…but I do have a few conditions that can […]

I live with a few issues which can really ruin my day…my week…my month…today is such a day and I admit that I am feeling sorry for myself. I have no thyroid…removed due to cancer…which means I find I have to manage my energy levels carefully. A big day or a late night can wipe […]

On this day, just two years ago, I was in hospital, having my thyroid removed due to cancer. I remember it well but can’t complain…my surgery went well, I only had one night in hospital and my recovery was smooth. The worst bit was the sore throat from the breathing tube…I think I consumed my […]

I have put on weight…not much, just 4kgs…but it’s worrying me. I know many people struggle with their weight, and have much more to worry about then me, but it seems whenever my weight changes, it signals that something is not right. I lost a heap of weight before we realised that I was severely […]

Last Monday, we headed down the Mornington Peninsula to catch up with friends and have some brunch. However, I think everyone else had the same idea as it was a long weekend….the cafes were either packed to the rafters with waiting times, or they were closed! We then found the Black Kettle…it wasn’t busy which […]

We had a lovely long weekend…enjoyed getting out and about in this city we live in, even fitted in some vintage retail therapy. And then yesterday afternoon, I let my guard down…decided to have one of these… They are protein balls, and really yummy…they were meant to be gluten free and dairy free. But something […]

Something nice is happening in my world…I am receiving compliments about how happy and healthy I am looking now. The thought that I must have looked pretty bad before does worry me, but I am beginning to realise just how much of a change has happened in the last 12 months. And usually after the […]
