I've always believed in the field of psychiatry. Reading about about how people who were mentally ill were treated through the ages was always incredibly sad. How they were believed to be possessed by demons because there was no other way to explain their behaviour at that time.

The evolution of Tracey
The post hospital shake up My hospital stint was a real shake up in my life. Being taken out of normal every day life and facing a serious battle was life changing.

Looking back. Part 2
As much as I wanted to do day by day posts it is virtually impossible. Days ran into one. I wasn't fully concious all the time so I am left with memories that don't have an exact chronological order. One of the most horrific parts for me was their inability to find a suitable vein … Continue reading Looking back. Part 2

One goes down and another goes up…
So we got my lupus activity down which is so great! Really happy about this. Unfortunately, spending 9 days in a hospital bed has made my fibromyalgia flare up badly.

I thought … Continue reading Don’t blog while heavily medicated! This happened!
