Good morning!

Since having a brain hemorrhage 30 years ago, I am still coming up against new difficulties! I had to leave school at 15 and was left with sever memory impairment, dyslexia, no perifferol vision on right, epilepsy, balance problems etc. I tried to get work over the years, I have worked as a beautician, designer,social care worker. Finally I set up my own business, a massage salon, offering a range of massages including a mindfulness massage to help sooth the body and mind. This was going so well but my old weakness has started up again because I am putting more pressure on my body and I have had to cancel my appointments and I am confined to bed. I have worked so hard to get something to work, time, effort and investment have gone into this and I don't want to have to give it up.....feeling sad, frustrated and sore. I just don't want the old feelings of resentment and anger to start to creep back, I spent a long time trying to get rid of them. They are exhausting and unhelpful. Pain relief and bed rest. Has anyone had a similar experience and how did you cope? Thank you, J

Could you get someone to help you? I know hairdressers often 'rent a chair' in their salons, could you do something similar?

No but all I csn say is try and go with the flow. Sounds like you have to step back a bit. Your business sounds marvelous. While you are trying to recover think of your achievements and just rest. Burn essential oils. I'm on the bed just able to listen to classic fm (havine severe noise sensitivity ) I have bergamot and lavender on the go. Hope your time out heals.

I always try and think happy thoughts as I had a Mum who left me with funny/fond memories of our times together. I must annoy hubby as before I go to sleep I think of Mum. She had a hard life but gave us laughter and love and when I think of the things she said and did I feel my shoulders moving and I start to laugh and poor hubs cannot get to sleep. Try and remember good times and concentrate on those only. I wish you all the best and remember to smile and sing as that is my answer to all ills ...Now believe in yourself xxxxx Be Well easier said than done but you can laugh away the bad times. xxxx

If you are experiencing these symptoms you should get yourself checked. I know a friend who suffered a Hemorrhage 20 years ago but then had another. I’m not saying it could be that but you should go and see a professional just in case x
