I was too tired to live my life, but now I love every day
I was in my twenties but too tired to live my life. I was put on a loading dose of vitamin B12 injections that made my face itch and my arms and legs ache. But hey, they at least made me feel like death warmed up!
I was having a vitamin B12 injection every three months, but my symptoms were actually getting worse. I was beginning to lose sensation in the bottom half of my legs and arms when driving, had pins and needles in my extremities, constant ringing in my ears, insomnia and vertigo.
I had by now reduced my work hours and was teaching part-time. I was also coming to the realisation that my so-called dream job was not a dream – it was now reality and the reality was so different to the dream. My life felt stagnant and I was bored. Now I was beginning to feel more alive I was looking for new dreams. I felt in my bones that there had to be more to life.
