Blog Update, winter plans and generousity

Well as I havent wrote on here for a while I thought id have a write and a rant and my plans for the winter.


I had a hospital check up last week and surprise surprise im still ill and not my best (I knew that would be the case). I think I have found the rot cause for not being able to get better or fend any bugs or illness off.

The doctors explained that the PSuedo and staph is still growing and although the drugs were helping it was not doing as well as thought. I did sort of expect this.

The worrying bit though is about my Vitamins and the fact my levels are only at about 30% of what they should be.

This goes to explaining alot in particular the vital vitamins that control my immune system are dangerously low and I basically have no immune system at the moment hence why the drugs cant perform to their best and why im getting ill so much.

It was decided it was best for me to come into hospital and do a course of iv antibiotics and get some vitamin boosters going to help get my levels back up and then work on a plan to keep them up.
Im also going to trial some nasal sprays as it has become apparent im suffering with severe sinus problems and could be another major contributor to why im som ill so much of the time.

I am hoping that this will actually work this time and I will be spending every moment in the hospital working to improve my health and start pushing my fitness again.

The only problem is I still dont know when i can go into hospital and start ivs as they are totally rammed at the moment. This happens every winter but this year talking to my team they reckon this is the busiest theyve ever been. Good luck to them as I know my team works so hard to help so many out in such a short space of time.

So what are my winter plans?

Quite simple really

Keep doing anti-biotics
Wait for call from hospital
Go into hospital (Hopefully not over xmas)
Work hard on getting better whilst in hospital
Come out feeling healthy and work towards improving myself
Stay healthy over the winter
Keep going to the gym
And finally find a new job (if I get made redundant which looks likely)

Thats really my plans for this winter in simple terms.


I have to say i am struggling extremely especially over the past few days ive noticed that my body just seems to want to do nothing and feels like im shutting down a bit to try and save my health.

I cant seem to sleep despite being totally exhausted
suffering constant headaches
suffering with my chest and cough which is rather painful
being sick physically everyday
struggling with my weight
no energy despite trying to stay fit at the gym
and finally
Feeling low as I still need answer to work out the best way forward for my future to keep my health at a good level.


I have no idea when I can go to hospital for IV treatment but im hoping its soon and not over christmas.

I should also say I have had some amazing news from a friend of mine today

She is doing the boxing day dip this year in deal and has decided to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis

I wont name that person just yet as I havent asked if she would mind me naming her but I want to say a massive thank you to this person, their generosity knows no bounds and im truely grateful for what she is doing as I for one would certainly not even dip a toe in the sea on boxing day let alone go for a swim

I will write a seperate post when I have more information and I ask you all very kindly to donate money if you can.

I know that many of you who read this blog wouldnt even think of going near the sea this time of year so why not support the person doing it and donate even just £1 for someone else to enjoy a lovely boxing day dip

 Thanks for reading
