A Headline of Hope..

The front page news on todays The Independent newspaper brings fresh hope for a lot of us..

Have they found the cause of M.E / CFS?

Struggling so much..

I'm struggling with my energy and symptoms so much lately, I'm trying hard to follow the Gupta Programme - with some hesitation while I wait for next weeks ENT appointment. I hope after some treatment - I will make good progress to better health.
Last week I had very little oomph, very under the weather. I paced through the week so that I would have a good chance to enjoy our dinner out with the family to celebrate everyone's birthdays, our son took us to a buffet Chinese restaurant - it was a lovely get together, I'm glad I made it.
Over the weekend I started to look through my craft cupboard, thinking sadly how I hadn't used any of the card making craft gear I'd amassed previous to my ME/CFS relapse in 2005. Well it's now 2009 - so common sense told me to sort and get rid. With limited room in the house, it takes too much to set up to do, and then put away again. In a sudden fit of determination I started to sort through it - and then felt overwhelmed by it all when it was all over the living room! So much stuff! I realised that so much money had been spent on this 'stash' of card making stock and rubber stamps (some unused and still with price tickets on). I was sad when I couldn't remember buying a lot of it, or what some bits were used for? Why couldn't I remember?
It made me realise that with my current hobbies of knitting and spinning - building up too big a stash would not be good for me.
I'll end by adding a few animal photos from the Fibre Fest in August this year - that was great fun going there.
