Retraining my Amygdala

Re training my Amygdala - well I thought I knew roughly what to expect, and I was vaguely roughly right. After doing this programme for less than a week, the effect on my 'being' feels somewhow indescribable? Maybe in time the words will form, this is meant in a positive sense, not negative.

So far it feels worth the money - and I do believe I will get great benefit out of it and achieve better health. There's loads of information to take in, watching and participating a session a day - and needs commitment to the programme to get the best out of it. I'm on day 5, after a bit of a down day yesterday I am encouraged by todays session. There will probably be more days like that and that's accepted.

I have a link to the right of my blog page under ME/CFS for Ashok Gupta's retraining programme if you are interested in finding information. Ashok also had ME/CFS and has fully recovered!

Baking, Spindles and thumb!

Hubby by trade is a baker and does not often bake at home, but this week he baked some Soda Bread and some Beer Bread, and they tasted delicious! Exceedingly better than shop made! He's hoping to make some drop scones tomorrow. Home baking aromas are lovely!

I was delighted that my top whorl 'learn to spin kit' arrived so fast! I also ordered a back issue of Spin Off magazine which front cover showed top and bottom whorl spindles - I've yet to read it, I'm interested what the differences are?
Also today in the post came a book I ordered titled, 'Spinning in the Old Way' by Priscilla A. Gibson-Roberts.

Today I had a bit of an accident with a sharp knife and some lettuce - so instead of knitting or spinning as I'd planned, I will be reading instead! (Note to self: Remember to use chopping board next time!)

Testing times and nice times

Yesterday, I was seriously fed up with myself! Don't know why - but I had a serious case of the blues and grumps!
Yes, I had a flare up of symptoms and my joints were giving me jip (also no thanks to the damp rain and grotty weather!) - but quite what was bothering me I couldn't figure out - completely stumped!

Thankfully today, I must have got out of the right side of the bed, I was relieved that yesterdays mood had passed.

Family members health is weighing heavily on my mind at the moment, myself included. It just seems crazy that so many of us are having health concerns all at the same time? Fingers crossed all will be well in good time.

Hubby has been good to me, watching out and taking care of me, he's a real diamond. I've enjoyed the chances for us to go out to a few country shows in the past couple of months - we don't really get much chance to get out together because of this ME/CFS condition. The last show was really demanding on the energy - so much walking, we left early because I ran out of energy and the warning symptoms were flaring. I was so exhausted and just fell into bed when we got home and crashed!
