The last week has been somewhat challenging. I've been ill with a cough and cold...then on Thursday I fell down the stairs and think I broke at least one toe (its Monday today and I still can't walk properly lol)...and then somewhere amongst all that I broke a tooth (I don't even know what day… Continue reading Testing Times

Making Mistakes
It's been snowing on and off, since Sunday here in Kent. We haven't had it this bad for years, and it's the first time its been ankle deep since we moved to this house 5 years ago. I'm not a fan of the snow I have to say. It makes me feel trapped as I… Continue reading Making Mistakes
The Windows To My Soul
I've had problems with my eyes for years. Suffering frequent bouts of conjunctivitis, but also eye dryness and pain. My doctors treated me for a "blocked tear duct" for 15 years and I was finally referred to an Ophthalmologist who diagnosed "ocular migraines" about 8 years ago. But it turns out that all these issues… Continue reading The Windows To My Soul
The M Word…
I had an awful day yesterday. I felt (and still feel) utterly exhausted. I had a pounding headache all day and havent eaten anything since yesterday lunchtime as I felt sick. I feel like I have a hangover, with none of the fun part (ie consuming the alcohol in the first place). The only self… Continue reading The M Word…
Little Things
I still can't shift my eye infection ☹️ I think it's probably my mucked up immune system, I don't fight infections well and often have to use antibiotic cream on small cuts as they become infected. I'm not sure whether that's down to my anaemia or the PA. I've been using tissue to dab my… Continue reading Little Things
Admitting Defeat
Sometimes, self care is about admitting you need help... I’ve been soldiering on with bog standard pain killers for the last couple of years, but yesterday I gave in and accepted the medication the doctor has been trying to persuade me to take. Googling this stuff is pretty scary, but, i’m willing to give it… Continue reading Admitting Defeat
Doctor Doctor
So far my self care journey seems to have been weighted heavily towards my mental health more than my physical health. Thats probably because I know I cant actually change the physical problems I have. You cant cure Psoriatic Arthritis, and doing small things that make me feel better mentally, helps me deal with the… Continue reading Doctor Doctor
Soup for The Soul
I remember the first time I saw a copy of the book Chicken Soup for the Soul...I thought it was a cookery book lol. Twenty odd years later there are dozens of Chicken Soup books, but i've only read the first one. According to Google, the phrase itself refers to the use of Chicken Soup… Continue reading Soup for The Soul
DIY Crystal Healing
Last week a lovely friend of mine gave me a little bag of Crystals... Such a wonderful and thoughtful gift (thank you so much honey!)...which reminded me that I have a collection of crystals in storage (I have loads of stuff in storage...long story lol) that I haven't seen for about 5 years! Whilst clearing… Continue reading DIY Crystal Healing
