For anyone that needs to hear this today

3 nights of barely any sleep 😴 I hate flare ups and this one is particularly bad when I lie down which means it’s even worse to have to get back up! Having to wake up someone to get you out of bed is horrible as you feel so guilty for breaking their sleep. But every thing has a positive, I’m so grateful to have someone to wake up to help me 🥰

Today is Cauda Equina Awareness Day!!! Remember the red flags and seek immediate medical attention!

was on this morning talking about Cauda Equina and his own personal experience with it. Catch it on player. It’s amazing for the CES community to have an ambassador to highlight this condition! 🙌🙌 And a special thank you to my family .sharkey.nutrition and for letting me about it 🥰🥰🥰

Some days the bad ones take you by surprise.....you hit a stumbling block or a set back. But have your cry, embrace the moment and dust yourself down. Don’t let one set back take away from the many leaps in recovery you have made

Stay strong 💪🏻! You are not alone in this!

It’s a dogs life! Dogs have amazing therapeutic qualities aside from been so darn cute! Duke has been great encouragement for me to getting out and about and gives me a sense of security when he’s with me (apart from that one time 🙈🙈🙈🤣)

So important to be aware of these red flag symptoms! I never hear of CES until I had it - twice 😱 Bad back pain when accompanied with any of these symptoms needs to be investigated immediately! Can make the difference between recovery and life changing disability

The face of determination 🙈💪🏻 2020 kick starts with the first of the procedures for pain management - radio frequency ablation on the nerve root going into my leg! I will have 3 done this year. Will keep you updated on how it works - if the nerve pain eases or better beeps off even temporarily! Pain management is so important to keep you mobile, active and more importantly the ability to get sleep 😴

Overcoming life’s obstacles can be challenging especially when your reminded of your battles on a daily basis - scars, pain, life changes etc. But always remember, your living, everyday you wake up, your living. So live it....challenge yourself, take up a hobby, meet that friend for a coffee....🦄💪🏻🥰
