I seem to have turned a corner & genuinely feel on top of the world at the moment. The tiredness no longer seems to be running my life. The last few weeks has seen a big improvement not only in my facial movement but also in energy levels. I am feeling more like my old self & boy does it feel good! Da-na na-na na-na!! …Uh oh!

Being back at work will be the real test! But I am looking forward to it with only a slight apprehension.

The holiday we (mum, big bro & I) had in Alaska was amazing! I realise that I was very fortunate to be able to do this. I did find it tiring at times as it was quite a hectic holiday but I thoroughly enjoyed it & made the most of this once in a life time holiday. It was worth planning ahead. Having something to look forward to was a real help during those odd few moments of despair. I did have to wrap my face up to keep the cold wind off as cold can cause muscles to tighten/ tense.

Have continued with acupuncture which has been a great help. I’m glad to hear that more RHS sufferers are trying it. Go for it!
