On Monday 2 weeks before easter, early in the morning my wife had a mild sezuire. We did not know what it was and of course put it down to the variety of possible diagnosis that she had had. I stayed home from work to be with her and she had the rest of the week off. That friday we went to see her GP who was equally unsure about what could be going on. She was also having difficulty reading.
Late last year my partner was going through menopause - she was the right age for it, her periods were becoming less predictable etc. She went on a course of HRT to help. The HRT didn't seem to work that well. She was also taking a lot of alternative medicine and nothing much was happening.
Calming things like Yoga Nidra were helping.
In January she had suspected case of Blastocystis which was treated with a strong antibiotic. We were never sure that this had been completely cleared up as she continued to have bowel and gut problems. Later I read that there is a link between brain tumours and your gut.
She had also lost 10 kgs which we weren't sure what to attribute to.
These things were all creating a good deal of anxiety as a cause for them had either not been found or the treatments were having little effect. She was taking more time off work in order to cope.
