WELCOME

I 've had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for almost five years.
Today I made the decision to start this online Journal, in the hope that it may be of assistance to others.
This disease really got the better of me this week.
I call it a disease because my body in definitely not at ease with this illness.
However when I say that, this disorder has been the reason behind my Spiritual Journey and my connection to God, in a much more simple way.
So here I am.
I meditate.
I breathe.
I speak and think positive thoughts.
Yet this week...
More fatigue...
Plus...
Plus...
So I found myself being extremely disappointed in my decline...
Anyone who has Chronic Fatigue, will relate to...
It's not about being tired or sleepy...
More like being in, a constant state of flu like symptoms...
No amount of sleep or relaxation helps...
So to go to my specialist and be given a lot of potential illnesses that can develop, sent me into more of a spin and even more disappointment in myself.
Perhaps up until this week, I may have been living in denial.
Most people don't even believe that it's an illness.
So now, I start again on a fairly strict regime of medication, low G.I. diet, limited sun and possible triggers of even more symptoms.
The hope is, that this regime will slow down or kill the bacteria that is responsible for this illness with-in my body.
So if you know of someone ,who may have Chronic Fatigue, or any other energy disorder, please be patient and kind to them...
In Love.

THE THREE ASPECTS OF ME! (30.08.09)

While resting last night, the following became very clear to me, so I'll explain as simply as I remember it.
As most of you know I write on three different blogs and last night it became clear to me that some might think, how can this woman have Chronic Fatigue and still write entries elsewhere.
So...
My CF journal is very much about My Body...
My Breathing blog is about My Mind...
My I AM ROSE blog is My Spiritual connection to God....
All of these are aspects of Me, these blogs expose...
The Whole of Me...
My Body...Mind and Spirit.
How you might ask?
Read my entries and you'll find out.
The fatigue is what brought me to this place of... Stillness...Silence and Reflection...
So I thank the fatigue for this and I welcome the fatigue with Love...
It has served me well.
Now it is time to Live fully in...
The Now Moment.

DAY 18-19

Quite early here in Adelaide.
As reader's of my blogs already know, I practice regular breathing, relaxation, quiet times.
I don't lay down or fall asleep as I've found this can have a worse effect on my fatigue.
Anyway last night at bedtime, thought I'd re-introduce a Chakra and Healing CD into my daily activities, a practice I used to do in the early stages of this illness.
Well it actually made me worse in the beginning.
It took ages for me to get to sleep, a lot of deep breathing and releasing, to find balance in my whole being.
This morning I'm actually not feeling over fatigue (GREAT).
My mobile needed to be charged this morning and as I plugged it in, my thoughts were, this is exactly what I need, to be re-charged.
I think we all realize that this illness is very much an energy disorder, but perhaps I'm a little bit slow to realize, just how others effect this energy.
So getting back to nature, truly seeing and hearing natures call, will help balance this out of kilter body once again.
I have known most of my life that I'm a feeling person, so in the last five years I have accomplished skills to help, with everyday life.
I know that when the fatigued flared up yet again,I was feeling very overwhelmed.
The bacteria that keeps this illness going has flared up, in response to an increase in Vit. D, the hope was, it would assist the bacteria to go dormant.
Alas this didn't happen, but it actually turned what is called (good Vit.D) into (bad Vit.D).
So here I am reducing my sun intake, no Vit D in my diet and on this medication regime.
It's just as well it's winter here and very wet, which is good on oh so many levels for our country, but also for me at this time.
So another day.
In Love.

I just got a delta wave sleep CD -- it is fantastic! It definitely helps me get to sleep quicker. Even when I don't fall asleep right away, I can feel my body relaxing, and it just feels good! I keep it on repeat all night long. I've been waking a little earlier than usual (closer to 8 hours of sleep than 9 or 10). I don't know if that means my sleep is more restful or not, but overall I'm happy with it.
