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.

RIDING THE WAVE OF FRUSTRATION TO THE CALM OF THE SEA


I am feeling extremely frustrated by so many personal events of this last few weeks.
I just want to scream...
See me...
Hear me...
For I am not just a number...
I do matter...
I wont bore you all with all the events of late, except this one seems to be the catalyst.
I was given an extreme dose of antibiotic's for a pending peptic ulcer. I trusted in what the doctor had said. I persevered for a week of severe diarrhea and feelings of constant nausea. Now I'm bleeding and have an extremely irritated bowel. I'm feeling very flat, my legs are like jello, my head is fuzzy and the fatigue is back.
At the moment food is the last thing on my mind as everything I eat seems to aggravate my stomach.
On a happy note our daughter and grand babe came to visit for a week, to spend Mothers Day with me. We had a most enjoyable day. Then on the Monday our daughter came down with severe gastro and ended up spending the night in hospital on 5lts of fluids. Her baby coming down with it eight hours later.
Not much fun for any one, however we did get to spend two days sight seeing, before they left.
This wave of frustration is more like a Tsunami. So for now I continue to sit in stillness with God.
I have excepted that there are many things in life that I don't have the ability to change, however I also feel that is is my reaction to these events that have a huge effect on my physical body.
So in this moment...
All is as...
It is Now...
Love and Hugs.
Rose
