I have no idea why but Fridays to me are to be treasured and adored, the general atmosphere surrounding a Friday is an Euphoric one. Everyone tends to be jolly no matter what happens on a Friday, you can slate someone on a Friday and they laugh likes its a joke so good times and all that ;-)!!
So I have done my voluntary hours doing accounts, which I hope will help when I eventually go to launch my new business be it the end of this year or start of next..who knows, must complete the course then things will really start happening. I have 3 People suffering with ME/CFS as case studies I suppose you would call it, they asked for help I suggested dietary changes, in which I am very pleased to announce that it is helping with there symptoms and is great experience for my chosen career.
Today I watched Kay Gilderdale, on This Morning - trying to promote the cruelness of the Illness which is ME/CFS/FM what ever you wish to call it - by promoting a book she has written in memory of the Daughter she lost to it. A tragic story in which Suicide/assisted suicide is involved. Any person with a heart would know how traumatic and awful this decision would have been for a mother to do, I wonder just how many people could stand to see there loved one suffer so, every single day. I have been through a tough journey I was at a point where I was losing the ability to leave my bed and function the speech process of my body this is damn scary, you are alert that without help soon who knows what else will stop...... my savior was my Iphone and the knowledge uploaded to the web and a forum run by a kindly, admirable lady. A forum with members who will upload there struggles, goals and recovery therapies for others to grab at for hope!!!I owe my sincere gratitude to these people and I hope more awareness on this terrible illness is soon out there for everyone to be able to be more understanding, knowledgeable and be able to heal those that seriously need it.
At this moment in time I can only see this illness growing due to the western diet, abuse of chemicals in everyday use, stressful lives, and general rush rush rush lives. We are subjected to so much which is actually bad for us, maybe individually they are safe as houses but come on added all up creates such a toxic overload and deficiency, intolerances its so sad so awful....why cant this be out in the open and dealt with in honesty.
Maybe if honesty was out there like what is on my beloved forum, Kay's daughter may have had a chance, before things got to bad, we need awareness, we need more knowledge - until then I will do my up most to help others with this illness. I send love, hugs and healing thoughts to all you fellow sufferers out there.
Today I received a letter from Bob Russell MP of colchester in reply to my letter regarding my concerns on the changes of DLA - I'm actually rather impressed by the response I got and have let others know.
Genuine people who require benefits should be allowed to claim and not suffer, this is why we pay our taxes - so far I should be returning to work at the end of the month, and I question why do we pay our taxes I know others will say that I should be grateful as other countries are really expensive blar blar so on so forth BUT!! we pay for the NHS who are over worked and under budget - but the tests are a little out of date and the ones we need are not funded by them - so lots of people go do this basic tests - get all clear - then left to rot!! Told its depression or worse all in there head. Had the correct tests be made available on the NHS then surely the results would then be a whole different story!! testing just the bloods does not always show the demon, testing the cell can speak volumes - you can only get this done with certain private doctors...
We pay for benefits to help if we get sick, disabled or unemployed - But genuinely ill people are suffering whilst benefit riders are playing the system and get everything they want - yes I want the riders to stop or be stopped - but I also want the money my tax will go towards to, will help actual people who really need it. My experience of being on JSA for approx 2 months - was awful, I hated being on it and gave it up as I thought if I stayed on it and followed all the do's and dont's of it I would never get a job!! They demoralise you, degrade you, look down on you, treat you like your special (not in a good way)!! For instance a meeting held I was told voluntary work would look good on my CV and make employers find me approachable to handle a working situation. I went twice to sign on and was told all ok, then given forms to log it each week then at the next meeting berated that it was the wrong kind of voluntary work - you have to go work in a charity shop!! but I do Account!! I thought their rules and regs would retain me on to this crappy system rather then be able to get my butt motivated to be employed again. I now have a valid job offer and I am pleased with myself.
country's financial mess at the moment - this is all so frustrating so yes I think when I am working as a fully qualified - Nutrition, Health and well being Coach/consultant and have to provide my money to the system I kinda think - What is the point - what will I actually benefit from it other then shoddy services!! - This country needs re organisation and I really hope to see improvements and better help - I'm just ranting and think the services should be priority for improvement action plans.
On a Lighter note
I have been looking at house to move to three so far, unfortunately they are not suitable but I know the right situation is just waiting for the right time for us.
when I am ready to start my business I long for a lovely cream and peach office shed - three rooms first is an office for consultations, the second with loungey comfortable things in for meditation, therapies and the third private for me and lee, a Layzee spa room lush woohoo - yep I have it all planned not just your normal shed!! hell no!! it will be well insulated and warm and appropriate for all weather conditions... I'm so excited. I saw some great examples, on a great blog via a facebook friend, her blog is mannmade.
Ok this is me done have a great weekend xx
