My sweethearts, I had to relinquish my beloved teaching career and am in that in between stage of ceasing to work and getting it officially sorted. My body always feels a giant droning toothache, my bones feel like crushed glass, my insides feel like they’re being melted by acid and I never know when I’ll get a migraine that feels like my face is giving birth. I’m constantly weak, tired, sick, disorientated and need canes, support bracing a wheely walker to walk about upright. I need help with everyday living tasks. My main form of ’therapy’ is practising my bass guitar! There are so many aspects of music, it has a way of saving me even when I can move or even open my eyes. Music is everything to me.
