Hi friends. So sorry for my long absence.

I have been again in and out of hospital like a yo-yo due to this horrible Neurological functional disorder and its Seizures. It's caused a nasty flair up of my fibro myalgia and Myalgia Encephalitis.

Also my osteoarthritis, but thankfully the stereo injections helped some for at least that pain an discomfort.

It's been explained that all four conditions are actually all related to the multiple sclerosis family.

Just with different anatomy of the brain effects.

I'm still being as active as possible and I'm doing the plant potting of my flowers that I took from my back garden rockery when I had to temporarily move home to a group floor apartment while the council build the extension ground floor bedroom and bathroom.

So it's been quite stressful with packing up 27 years of belongings into storage an live out of box's till 12 weeks time when we move back home. So with that an my daughter still rehabilitating after she was medically neglected while in hospital last January an we almost lost her, she was told its only a flew an would not observe her properly, she ended up on life support in a coma for almost 3 weeks and when she came through she was totally paradised. It took 3 months of extensive rehabilitation treatment of speech, physiotherapy, occupational therapy rebilatating programs in hospital. Thankfully she's home the last 9 weeks and is 70% fully functional. But tires so easily and still needs my assistance and of course our family an I attention an support. So this is why I'm so absent here. But I am still researching in my spare time for updates on fibro myalgia, myalgia Encephalitis, Neurological functional disorder,Micro vascular angina and Tinnitus. These are what some the conditions I have an are the most disabling. I do not want to be in the wheelchair that I have been measured for me. I'm mobile with the use of a walking stroller when out doors an a walking cane around the home. I do however have a lot of falls or as I call them fights with gravity and gravity wining.😂🤣 But some times I win and don't actually bounce on the floor 🤣😂. The way I think 9f it is that I'm alive even if all these an lots more conditions I have are trying to either interrupt or end that. But life is for the living an for fighting everything that comes at you an making your mark in the world by surviving. You show your conditions that your in charge of it not it in charge of you

Bad day an no energy to do anything or to sore to get out of bed? Forse yourself to an just even sit in front of a window with a nice warm drink, wrap your hands around the cup cuddle it so it will help your body desient a size and feel comfort, play a YouTube video of your favorite music and just even nudge your body to the music to dance an this will up your energy levels an will also lift your mood an that will help your pain levels too. There is also a lot of different tone music for Tinnitus too an also some guided imagery uplifting meditation.

Warm showers, long soaks in soft warm water an lots of slow deep breathing.

And as physiotherapy/ occupational therapy an consultants always advise is some very slow but gentle exercise even chair exercises from YouTube.

This is the research I have come up with for most of these health issues.

Plus to avoid what ever food is going to make you feel tired, bloated, thirsty because if it's making you physically feel unwell think what it's doing to your muscle bones cell's an organs. An this in turn will cause flair ups of your conditions.

I so hope this is of help to you all an again so sorry for my absence.

Wishing you all a pain free fun lived day. Sending you out Healing vibes of comfort and support. 👼🤗💕💐
