Niamh, me, and M.E: M.E misconceptions debunked.
http://jexxy-niamhmeandme.blogspot.com/2012/05/me-misconceptions-debunked.html
Niamh, me, and M.E. Thursday, 10 May 2012. This won't be a long entry, and I didn't manage to post yesterday as I really wasn't good. I feel much better now but will tire fast. Anyway. This week is Myalgic Encephalomyelitis Awareness Week or, as it's more accessibly referred to these days: M.E. That may not mean a great deal to you. Certainly, it didn't to me. Oh wait, yes it did. Here is what I have previously understood about M.E. and those who have it. Oh, and mostly, importantly, M.E. is 'all...Until...

Niamh, me, and M.E: February 2012
http://jexxy-niamhmeandme.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Niamh, me, and M.E. Thursday, 23 February 2012. Throughout my time with M.E I have almost had every symptom in the book at different points. I was sitting back today and trying to work out which type is worse, the physical or the mental and, if I had a choice which one I would have. I can't write because, even if did, no one would be able to understand it (including me), the only think I can liken that to is trying to write when you are completely wasted, see how much sense that makes the next day! This ...

Niamh, me, and M.E: December 2011
http://jexxy-niamhmeandme.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Niamh, me, and M.E. Thursday, 29 December 2011. Well that was tiring, enjoyable but tiring. I managed to be healthy (well as healthy as I ever get) for Christmas (first time in 5 years). Obviously wasn't easy but we all had a good time. When she woke up we had breakfast (whilst she had snack time) and then set about opening presents. She was excited about the first one, but her interest soon disappeared! She did look very cute in her special Christmas dress and "santa baby" hat! She wasn't the only one&#...

Niamh, me, and M.E: November 2012
http://jexxy-niamhmeandme.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Niamh, me, and M.E. Monday, 12 November 2012. Blast from the past. I have just found this :) I wrote it when I was at a higher percentage than now (obviously), when I was attempting to complete my Social Work degree. Thought people might like to read it. Here we go. The people who stare at you do so with blatant curiosity, which turns into open mouthed staring when the reason you are confined to a wheelchair is not immediately apparent. The looks of pity or revulsion are harder to handle. I am one of tho...

Niamh, me, and M.E: August 2011
http://jexxy-niamhmeandme.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Niamh, me, and M.E. Wednesday, 31 August 2011. Today was hard, it turns out yesterday exhausted me more than I thought. I didn't sleep well, Niamh was up at 4 and in bed with me and she hasn't liked the idea of me putting her down all day. All I can say is thank goodness for my sling/wrap, makes everything so much easier. The one with the bear makes me giggle everytime. She's never done that before. I have a sleep sitting child lol. We went to town and sorted some stuff we needed to get done and had lunc...

Niamh, me, and M.E: October 2011
http://jexxy-niamhmeandme.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Niamh, me, and M.E. Wednesday, 26 October 2011. Can't make this a whole post, as I'm still not well enough, but better than I was. Whilst my brain is working I thought I might try a quick update on here. So, sorry if it doesn't make any sense! I've been spending a lot of my time laying on the floor with a pillow and a blanket and letting her crawl over me. She's been so good, the whole time I've been unwell. Here's a pic of me and Niamh, sorry for how I look. Goodbye for now, hope I can update again soon.

Niamh, me, and M.E: September 2011
http://jexxy-niamhmeandme.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Niamh, me, and M.E. Thursday, 29 September 2011. Two entries, in one (again). This is two entries again, in one because I couldn't write one last night. Anyway, Wednesday 28th September 2011. It was Chris's first day back at work after injuring his back today and me and Niamh had a chilled out day planned. I got up and started to give her breakfast, it would appear that Niamh had other ideas, like, for example, going to sleep sitting up! Dad came round when Niamh was down for her afternoon nap and bought...

Niamh, me, and M.E: Feeling a bit sorry for myself.
http://jexxy-niamhmeandme.blogspot.com/2012/06/feeling-bit-sorry-for-myself.html
Niamh, me, and M.E. Tuesday, 12 June 2012. Feeling a bit sorry for myself. I don't like being like this. I don't like feeling sorry for myself, and I know I shouldn't be. I am really lucky to have what I have, a beautiful daughter, a wonderful husband and a loving and supportive family. But someday's I just have enough and I find it all a little too hard to deal with. Today, it seems, was one of those days. 12 June 2012 at 13:54. Stay strong Jenny its hard i know Kelly and me are still fighting to get my...

Niamh, me, and M.E. Saturday, 26 November 2011. Sorry about the lack of blog posts, still recovering so thought I would check in. I can't promise consistant blog posts at the moment, but I can promise to update as and when I can. She makes everything better. Niamh is good. She's got a problem with wind at the moment, and has 4 teeth coming through, so she is not the happiest of baby's at the moment. She stands by herself, cruises when she's holding onto sofa's or tables etc. She's so cute. I hope to be a...

Niamh, me, and M.E: March 2012
http://jexxy-niamhmeandme.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Niamh, me, and M.E. Friday, 23 March 2012. I have a new computer and I'm back! I'm not sure if since I got ill time has moved really slowly or if it's sped past. I've been thinking about it for a few days now, and I really don't know. I think it's kind of akin to being pregnant. It feels like it's dragging on forever whilst it's happening, then, when it's all over and you have that little baby you wonder where the hell the time went? But other points since I got ill when it has felt like time is on speed!
