My Journey with CFS

Hi friends

It's been such a long time since I last did a blog post, because I am pleased to say I've been busy!

I began at Waitrose 6 weeks ago and I love it. I am so happy there, I love to chat to the customers all day on the checkouts and all the staff are so lovely and have helped me to well and truly settle in.

My place of work :)

I feel so proud to have my own uniform and last week I received my first pay check. Thankfully, my health is keeping up to. I am being very careful to only do as much as I feel able to do.

My sister & I ready for the works Christmas party

In between working I still am going to lectures, I had a big assignment due in December so its been a busy time. 

Christmas was pretty chilled this year, I decided not to stress myself out with buying gifts for people, I donated money to charity instead. 

I go to bed every night & thank God for my health. I began the Cowden Protocol 18 months ago and it has literally transformed my life. I havn't been this well in over 10 years. I have a long way to go still, I have plans for 2014 but for now I am more than content. 

There was once a time I had run out of options, only one year I was so poorly with more and more diagnosis piling in, I felt like I was drowning. I never ever thought I would be well again, I'd never work or never have a family or a life again. It makes me emotional to think back to that time and look at me now. I've given up on planning in life, you never know what is around the corner and its so exciting!
