Chronic fatigue syndrome…😩

​Hello all, I’m recently diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and oddly, I knew it had to be that. My doctor confirmed it and it’s no joke! There are so many different symptoms that accompany this, so much more than fatigue, or being tired! Also I find it interesting that a lot of the symptoms are similar to the ones associated with Vestibular migraines and PPPD.  More and more to deal with and learn to cope with.  Please share and perhaps we can reach other people who are experiencing the same symptoms.  Until next time, Sarah

Been way to long…

​Hello there friends… it’s been a long time since I posted, and I’m honestly, still trying to get used to blogging. I wish I was better at it. However, I plan to post more often!  It’s been a rough few months, and I’ll add more details and content in the coming days.  If you’re reading, please share my blog, as I hope to gain more followers and traction with my blog.  Thank you and have a good evening! Sarah

Blog Title?

 Hi all, I would like to add to or change the name of my blog, so I have an idea, but I would love your input.   Thank you so much! "Busy Being Dizzy"    I like this one, but I am dealing with so many other facets and symptoms that I can't possible list, much less rhyme.   Please let me know what you think, and of any ideas you have for me! Sarah

Long Overdue Post

 Hi everyone, I am so long overdue on posting, and I plan to get a lot better about more timely entries. I have been having a very rough winter!  The wind is so bad, and keeps me from being outside.  The wind causes my dizziness to get much worse and amplified. My migraines have not changed much, but these strong cold fronts that come through have really made some days of migraines unbearable. I have had a very bad week and a half, and finally today, I feel that I can write.  I am still not doing a whole lot, but, I am happy to be able to write. Yesterday, I was so weak and fatigued, I couldn't even speak.  I was dizzy, had a migraine all day, had trouble walking around by myself.  I needed a great deal of help.  I also woke up at 12:39am, and only took a couple of short naps.  The photo isn't pretty or glamorous by any means, but it shows me asleep wearing my eye massager, and using my butterfly pillow, which is a perfect neck pillow, and keeps m...

First Beach Experience since Vestibular Migraines and PPPD started...

Image
Good Morning, Last weekend, My Best friend and I went to Carolina Beach for the weekend. It was my first trip to the Beach in over 2 years, since my Vestibular Migraines, PPPD, and all the daily dizziness and symptoms that accompany that. Anyway, We had a great time. We went out to the beach once, and let me say, it was a Challenge for sure. The area we were in was beautiful, peaceful, and not crowded at all! We got to the access, or so we thought, and it was a good 6-8 foot drop to get down to the sand/water. While we were trying to figure out how to accomplish this task together, we started down the makeshift sand slide others had made, and then 2 gentlemen came over and offered their help! It was wonderful. So, Briana took my cane and the gentlemen helped walk me down to the sand below. It was a challenge, but it seems that kindness still exists. We walked for about 10 minutes, it was very windy, and that makes my dizziness worse, but I was determined to make...

The POST post!

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to show off the post that my wonderful son made for me, to help me get up and/ or stabilize myself when I stand up from my chair, when I need it. He had the idea, designed it, used materials we had, and went to Lowe’s for the pedestal, and made this for me. I decorated it once it was finished. It’s wonderful and very helpful! Thank you my dear son!❤️πŸ’œπŸ€©πŸ˜ŠπŸ₯° Until next time, take care! Sarah
