With only 2 day's left of month 1, I am beyond impressed with the results I am seeing in myself. If you looked at me a month ago and compared it to myself now, you would struggle to believe it was the same person! I still have a long way to go until I am back to full health, but just knowing that each day I am a step closer, is very re-assuring.
For anybody who may be new to my blog, I have Lyme disease. You can check out my post about that here or watch my video here. Almost a month ago, I started a new treatment called the Cowden Support Programme/Protocol. Each day I document how I have been feeling and each week, I post about how my week has been. This makes it easier for me to look back on and also helps to show people how I am getting on with the protocol, and if it is working for me. Feel free to check out my previous weeks here...
Day 22-
I started feeling pretty good this morning. I went out for a little shopping with my mum and grandma which was really nice. However, around 2pm I crashed and have been feeling pretty rubbish since. Mainly just extreme fatigue and headaches again (along with my little cold). What a load of poop!
Day 23-
Feeling much better than yesterday today. Getting up this morning was very very hard as per usual but once I was up, things got a little easier. I spent the majority of the day editing my new video (check out my youtube channel here!) and the majority of my symptoms were cold based which was good!
Day 24-
Again, I'm feeling pretty good today besides getting up in the morning! My cold is clinging to me for dear life which is no fun, but I can handle a pesky little cold. I spent the entire day trying to get this video uploaded but I seem to be bombarded with technical issues. Not giving up just yet!
Day 25-
Waking up this morning wasn't quite so hard thankfully. However, within an hour and a half of being up, I start to feel myself crashing. So, I decided to listen to my body and spend the majority of the day relaxing. I managed to get my video up (click here to see), go to the pet shop, supermarket and go on a little drive with my sister in her new car! Although I wasn't feeling too great, it still worked out as a pretty nice day! The main symptoms today were fatigue and just general cold/flu symptoms. That wasn't too enjoyable but it was nothing near as bad as I have had in the past.
Day 26-
I woke up about half an hour earlier than usual today which made getting up really quite difficult and left me feeling pretty exhausted already. Besides that, I am not feeling too bad today. Still, have my lingering cold but it is definitely way better than before so that is good. I spent hours and hours working on my blog today so that was good. It's not nice to be feeling better, even with a nasty cold!
Day 27-
I had a very chilled day today. I wasn't feeling all too good with headaches and general cold symptoms so I decided to take it easy. Despite this, I spent my morning trying to tackle the mess that was my desk so that was nice to feel like I had accomplished something. However, when cleaning my desk I quickly discovered just how dusty it was, and just how allergic to dust I apparently am. I was sneezing so badly I almost threw up. Probably shouldn't let it get that bad again! Haha! I then spent the majority of that afternoon in bed watching films. My body definitely just needed to rest.
Day 28-
Today I woke feeling pretty normal, just a little overtired. However, it was a normal person kind of tired so I was okay with that. It was one of those days where things just keep going not quite as well as you would hope. I then crashed about 6pm which was rather unfortunate because we then went out for my sisters birthday meal at 7pm. Despite feeling rotten, it was still a lovely night!
So there we have a little look into my week. Like all weeks, there were the good and the bad, but overall I think it really was very good. I feel like I got a lot accomplished this week so it was lovely to feel like I am doing something with myself again.
Bring on week 5!
Thanks for reading,
Holly Xx
