2014

Hi Guys

I hope you had a great Christmas and new year.  I certainly did and celebrated my 34th birthday on new years day. I cannot believe I am 34, I still have not got used to turning 30. Where are the years going?

Anyway it is a new year and I am absolutely driven to kick my chronic vestibular dysfunctions ass once and for all. This is the year I WILL get well. I will be off to see my specialist to get the appropriate ongoing treatment I need. I will continue to push myself physically by keeping to a regular workout regime and I will also maintain a good diet (migraine diet).

That said I did have a few sneaky chocolates this Christmas and also some cheese and crackers ( I love cheese). I have not eaten cheese or chocolate in nearly 2 years so I thought sod it. I did my best not to over indulge and to keep the portion size down.

Did I suffer migraines or an increase in vertigo because I ate the chocolate and cheese? I would have to say no. However I did indulge in a little alcohol over the festive period and new year and felt worse because of it.

So 2014 is the year I am going to get my life back and actually start living. I have to believe this. I know I sound like a drama queen to normal folk but it is you guys who also suffer with vestibular dysfunction who know what I am going through and how it impacts one's life on  a daily basis. You guys understand how much we crave and hope to feel well again to feel just like everybody else. It is you fellow sufferers out there that I blog for and when I finally get that normal day I will be here blogging about it and telling you exactly how I did it.

I hope 2014 heals us all
