Sorry, I haven’t had much to say lately. I’ve been relearning/remembering how to manage the pain of CFS. It is best to just keep really warm – that keeps the pain at bay. When I am warm, the pain is just a small undercurrent. When I am not warm enough, it becomes an interrupter. Most days I have been warm enough, so that is good. I am very thankful that the CFS is only a slight relapse; certainly not full blown or I wouldn’t be getting anything done at all!
The other day I learned of some really amazing new yarn for knitting. I’ve ordered some and am looking forward to finding out if it can be used for embroidery. Hopefully it will arrive in the next few days. If it works, it might just become part of this year’s batch of Christmas decorations.
I’ve been doing more class preparation and chipping away at the app preparation. I’ve had another couple of class bookings, which is encouraging and exciting. This weekend I have a class at the NSW Embroiderers’ Guild, teaching Portuguese whitework. I’m sure we’ll have a fun day!
White Threads is the blog of Yvette Stanton, the author, designer, publisher behind Vetty Creations' quality needlework books and embroidery products.
Oh no! Darling! I’m so sorry to read this! My heartfelt sympathies.
Remember – rest, no matter how frustrating it is. It will make the relapse shorter.
*hugs*
Thanks Megan. The lethargy bit doesn’t seem to be affecting me so much. Its just the aches and pains (you know, like you’re coming down with the flu, only you’re not). So I haven’t yet done very much resting… Too much life to live! I am hoping that it only takes a while for the effect of the offending food to get out of my system, and then I’ll be right again. Well, that’s my plan… 😉
So sorry you are still being pestered by the CFS symptoms, Yvette. I had been hoping that by now the cheese related symptoms would have dissipated but it sounds as if they merely stimulated the rest of your body to respond in pain. My heartfelt sympathy. Will be praying for you.
Thanks Cynthia. When my daughter stopped eating dairy after her allergy was diagnosed, the doctor said it could take 1 month for it all to get out of her system. So that’s what we’re expecting and hoping for this time too, though quicker would be nice. 🙂
