It is now over 12 months ago that I first had RHS. I have made significant progress since those first few weeks but it really has been incredibly slow. Being back at work has really taken its toll and I am still a long way from feeling my normal self. I go through phases of feeling very positive but frequently very frustrated & tired. However I know I will get there in the end!

Recently I have realised that I need to make some important decisions in order to improve my rate of recovery.

I have decided to reduce my hours at work and now have one full day off a week on a Wednesday which breaks up the week nicely. I am feeling much more positive and surprisingly more energetic. I have not had a cold or any other bug for 8 weeks –that’s the best yet since being back at work (in September). It was definitely the right decision to make. Then I think it will be time for a complete change. Doing what? I have no idea at the moment. I want to spend next year getting right back on top.
