Welcome back to the madhouse

It's been three years since I posted here and I have decided during the hiatus from work which is autumn I might as well revisit this blog.

My life has changed much since I was last here, one of the biggest things is that Lyme disease is now on the top of a lot of people's agendas. It's still vastly misunderstood by the NHS and it's still an uphill battle to get proper, successful treatment but the sad fact is that more and people are affected by it and the wonders of cyberspace have joined a lot of sufferers together so that they are not so alone as they were in the past. I joined a support group online and see that the relative newbies to this awful disease are as bewildered and angry as I was all those years ago when I was first diagnosed. I thought that by resurrecting this blog some of them would be able to go back and see posts I made when I was undergoing intensive treatment and also from before that time to see how it was for me. 

If I can help just one person then I would be very happy.  On a purely selfish note it also saves me having to keep repeating the story, I can just point interested people here.

On a lighter note I won't just be posting about illness, although you have to realise that life with Lyme is one big balancing act underpinning my entire life and I frequently topple over. You can expect notes on my wider interests from my business to my cats via gardens, cooking and my other passions.

It's good to be back.
