Flare ups

Hello darlings,

As some of you may have noticed, I hadn't posted in a while. I've been having a seriously rough go of it, no idea why until yesterday. I have direly low Iron, Folate and Vitamin D. No wonder I was feeling so rough.

But as I was laying in bed, trying to rest and feeling nothing but restless, it felt like this was never ending. My new normal, and I started to get depressed. Let me tell you something, nothing was brining me joy at this point. But I involved myself in activity after activity trying to find something to bring me out of it.

It was possibly the best thing I could have done, because at my lowest I -

~ Agreed to be the east herts representative for EDSUK. Holding general meetings to support fellow bendy people.

~ Agreed to give an informal talk about complex medical conditions and Assistance dogs at our local hospital.

~ Moved my birthday party from Cambridge to my home town, not my grandparents can make it.

~ Agreed to organise Canine Generated Independences' Autumn social.

Had I been feeling well, I probably would have been too caught up in my own world to make time for this amazing oppertunities. 

Another thought to be head, is that if it looks like a flare but doesn't smell like one, it is most definitely worth having your bloods checked. I feel AMAZING! Like I think I forgot how good this felt. I have energy and I'm smiling again! 

Here's to you all,

Love lexy and Jaxx
