About Me

My photo
Hi and thank you for coming across my blog! I have suffered from M.E (Myalgic encephalomyelitis) for 9 years, and I feel that it is one of the most misunderstood illnesses of our time, and that there is very little information and hope out there for people who have this ilness. My blog is about therapies I've tried, current information on M.E,my own discoveries, and ways to cope with the condition - I refuse to give up. Follow me on my journey to overcome this debilitating illness - I know that one day I will live a full and happy life, and so will you! No one should be judged for something they did not choose. I will also blog about my passions to keep you (and myself!) interested: my music (I am a professional singer),make-up and beauty tricks and tips (I also dable in make-up artistry), and my love for fashion and glamour. If you would like to follow my beauty blog you can check it out at: http://www.bluebutterflyglamour.blogspot.com I hope for this blog not to be all doom and gloom, but an uplifting experience for all! ~ Christina Follow me on twitter @Christina_MusiC

Update

Hi All,

It seems I am unable to reply to comments which is really annoying! Everytime I log in, it asks me to sign in, then when I do it takes me back to my comment and asks me to type in the verification letters, I do so, and it takes me back to the log in page - this goes round and round in circles with no comments being added hah! Anyone know how to sort this out?...

So apart from being in the book 'Catch 22' in regards to the comments, I've had an interesting few days. Energy levels seem very up and down, I've been feeling very queezy and dizzy due to having to take the medicine Tramadol (for an unrelated condition) so this is probably contributing to the fatigue!

I have managed to go to London though and do a bit of shopping in Selfridges without feeling like I'm no longer alive the next day. This is a massive plus, because a girl can never have too many shoes or bags, and its absolutely amazing not to feel terrible after doing something so pleasurable. :)

I DO think however, that ever so slowly the main Gupta retraining programme is working. Although I'm not sure I have enough "negative thoughts" to actually do it enough (which you would think would make things easier) and seem to keep forgetting to go through all the steps.I'm a bit confused about how it works. All I know is that I know someone personally who has recovered using this method, so I am still willing to go along with it and try. I think every little helps and even if I am doing it as and when I can, it IS having a positive effect.

If anyone would like to know more about the Gupta method he has some videos from the DVD uploaded to youtube:

Even if you decide you don't want to buy the DVD I think he gives a really good insight as to how M.E gets hold of the body, and what's actually happening.

In regards to 'Soften and Flow' someone commented that the idea IS to embrace the symptom but I don't think this works for my body if I am honest. It just makes things a lot worse than they originally were in the first place so I don't think this is the road to go down for me!

I am due to meet a friend for a drink (a non-alcoholic one as right now the thought of alcohol makes me want to die) in about an hour and feel like sleeping instead. I wonder if I will be able to make it.

*fingers crossed*!

For those interested, here are the new shoes I got from Aldo, I have been looking for a nude pair that are actually comfortable for absolutely aaaaages, so girls if you like to be glam but comfy I recommend theses! (For some reason it wants to upload sideways - me and blogger are currently not friends!) :
