You are a constant source of inspiration to me and I am amazed at your grace and wit in dealing with your condition. <br />I have CFS and what this 5 year old journey has taught me, is that I need to take good care of my body and mind, if I am to be functional. Pampering is therefore necessary and well deserved! I love going to the hair salon to have my hair styled, I read a lot, I rest a lot. I enjoy an iced cappuccino coffee quite often and I also make Banoffee pie quite often ! My relationship with chocolate is now guilt-free!Lennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12753236854220091613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181780691238814823.post-52970628917130382462012-08-01T13:34:48.662+10:002012-08-01T13:34:48.662+10:00When my POTS is acting up I like to pamper myself ...When my POTS is acting up I like to pamper myself by getting a gigantic decaf iced tea from Sonic.

Small world =)<br /><br />My favourite way to pamper myself is to take a whole day for me and only me - something I've only started since finding out I have EDS and related dysautonomia, which is not easy while studying fulltime. I go and get my eyebrows done and get a full body massage (sometimes with an extra oil massage to get out the knots), then get myself a bag of Light and Tangy chips, go home, eat all the chips by myself, grab a good book and relax in an Epsom salt bath. and at the very end, I will find my 9 week old puppy for some unconditional love and slobbery snuggles and we'll have a nap together =)<br /><br />- Samantha GSagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12223748270740832087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181780691238814823.post-78547110656241858982012-07-31T11:37:53.591+10:002012-07-31T11:37:53.591+10:00Wow, 3 years!

Aside from the occasional massage (which works wonders when one can squeeze that in to an already crazed work schedule), I find that Qigong brings calming and support to my body/mind and the effects linger- it give me a sense of healing and energy balance at the same time. It restores a sense of "control". I also like that it is easy to do! I can squeeze 5-10 minutes of that in here and there to help me get through the high stress of having an utterly unpredictable disorder.The Swansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02439701795835712980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181780691238814823.post-77379788856806397012012-07-30T18:57:31.797+10:002012-07-30T18:57:31.797+10:00Congratulations on your 3rd Anniversary.
