Since last post I must apologies of not posting much this year so far. Time has just got away with me with every day things.

The year has not got off to a good start following a family funeral, an unexpected family illness and then the ups and downs of just life.

Boxing day and then just after New Year’s saw another diagnosis after suffering with severe chest infections over the winter months. Now along with Psoriatic rhuematoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia and gout, ashma has now been added to the mixture. After doing the tests for 2 weeks as they say “evidence doesn’t lie”. The chart completed showed after using the pumps lungs got better so now I use a pump twice a day to relieve.

Currently noting down everything eat, drink and do as suffering with migraines which ease with food but no signs of issues with glucose etc. Aura usually have with a migraine has altered from left to right to now being bottom to top in BOTH EYES and not just left eye first 😢

Living with any chronic illness has its up and down days. I’m just extremely grateful for having an amazing hubby who understands, knows when not right and is there to help.

Yes we plan each month our food menus, plan holidays in our caravan but all these little things make life better.

So at the start of every month we try our utmost to do the full months batch cook of evening meals. With both working and school runs, doing anything to help with having a chronic illness is a massive help.

By batch cooking, only the pasta/rice/potatoes need to be done. So this cuts down the amount of time spent in the kitchen cooking each night and also makes sure we are all eating home cooked meals which are alot better than pre made meals.
