Firstly, we accepted an offer for the house four days after it went on the market. So we were both very surprised but pleased. Unfortunately issues with the missives mean it is taking a lot longer than anticipated to tie everything up and there is still a chance it could all fall through... I'm keeping hopeful though....
Secondly, my GP has advised me that the result of my genetic test for haemachromotosis or HH (iron overload to the lay person) have returned positive. He is adamant I don't have ME and believes that the build up of iron in my body may have been causing a lot of the symptoms over the last ten years. Very frustrating that it hasn't been picked up until now and also I'm keeping open minded as a lot of the symptoms that I believed to be ME don't seem to fit with HH. Anyhow the treatment is blood letting, so fairly straightforward given that I used to donate blood and I'm keeping optimistic that this may help to improve how I function.
Unsurprisingly the daily meditations have fallen to the wayside and I need to get back on track with that but in general I have been continuing to think positively. With regard to exercise, I have started to lift cans of beans and use these as weights. My husband laughs but 'better something than nothing'...
In terms of diet, I'm seriously going to have to think about reducing my red meat intake and alcohol - not that I was an excessive user of either of those foodstuffs but I wonder whether they had an impact on my health. Time will tell......
