Just had to say I can breathe more easily and the elephant sitting on my head (sinuses) has just got up. I had even forgotten it was there. Did I tell you I like elephants? The real thing, I mean.:-D

The strange end to a business relationship added more stress at this difficult time, not easy financially when you have a chronic disease. I had seen itcoming and have made as much provision for it as I could, but the weird behaviour from my two ex business associates at thisclinic I shared with them really hit me. If only they were being logical or said to me something like "sorry, Suzanne, butthis is not right for us right now because..." then I would have just sadly said goodbye, kept in touch and remembered thetime with them as a pleasant experience. But the way they did it was driven by jealousy, fear, racism, sexism and homophobia.The worst thing is I am getting mental images of my regular clients' faces, reminding me of the need to find somewhere localfor them in the next few days, in case they can't have a home visit or go to to my W1 clinic in the meantime. I have a runnynose and slight fever. Luckily I managed to rearrange my appointments today and work from home (one advantage of beingself-employed).

I tapped silently whilst reading on the web about copd. My mind became much clearer and now I have decided not to accept abuse from the medical profession. Next time I go to the "doctor", I will record the whole thing on tape. If he refuses, I will simply leave. I don't have to be put through more stress over the next 10 days or so while waiting for that appointment.Still tapping. All I want is to be prescribed antibiotics or antivirals when needed and to be able to work out at the gym and improve the condition of my left lung. In a month or so, I will have the finances if all goes to plan, otherwise maybe 2 months. It's not that long and I don't need to put myself in front of an abusive "doctor" in the meantime any more than is strictly necessary.When you have a chronic physical condition, anything that either emotionally or physically has a negative impact on you can make the condition worse.

Went for a routine blood test today (more about that later). Nurse said doc wanted to see me about hospital lung tests. Nurse asked him, he had norecollection. She read the notes on-screen, not a clue why, I found letter waiting for me afterwards about the need to see himurgently regarding hospital lung tests. After half hour trying to get through to doctor's reception, they finally answer, areas rude as ever (we in the UK pay these people out of our taxes) and they get through to the doctor, only to inform me that hekind of changed his mind about getting me tested and wants to see me again first. Make appointment and spend the rest of theday in a daze. For the first time in god knows how long, I overeat all day, walk the streets of london dazed and confused. Idon't get it. Came back home after seeing my client and doing some minimal marketing and buying medication to help me breathefrom the pharmacist, still dazed. As soon as I was home I felt safe, knew I had to tap on this doctor abuse thing, it stillaffects me, kind of hard…

I had intended to tap on another memory as I was planning the last posting's tappings. After the last tapping, I couldn't feel any intensity of emotion on this incident. Now I only can if i close my eyes and try to re-live the traumatic event.........I remembered this event to tap on when I went to the doctor yesterday. I was recounting again that I have to sleep in a certain position to drain off mucus in that part of my lung when infected, explained how i have been draining off the mucus in that part of that lung for the past 17 years, and he nodded and said "postural drainage". Because of the EFT tapping, I was calm, collected, and logical, whilst being insistent and firm. He seemed to be saying "Touche". I wish it wasn't like that, didn't have to be a sparring competition, but hey, it just is. So the name for this coping strategy is postural drainage............The event was 16 or 17 years ago. I was by then used to turning upside down, Muslim-prayer-position, and allowing the mucus to drain from that part of my left lung. Sometimes it…

Last time I caught a lung infection, it started 2 months ago when the substandard building I live in leaked gas somehow for a day. Now I live a particularly healthy life whenever possible, but if you have weak lungs, or in my case, a weak lung, any environmental stress can weaken it and make you vulnerable enough to catch an infection. Now that's usually OK, only in my case, I need a bit ofhelp from the doctor to fight off an infection, since part of my left lung just can't cough out mucus properly, so it collectsin there and the infection keeps getting worse till I finally get help in the way of eg antibiotics.Since for the past 17years doctors have not really been listening to what I consistently reported, it has been such an uphill struggle getting helpwhen I got a lung infection. So last year I used to go to herbalists who prescribed excellent natural antibiotics and antivirals, and before I found these herbalists, I would go to private doctors and pay more money than I had in order to buy treatment. But I was paying off a particularly large…

An associate, actually someone who from time to time challenges my authority (as expected for anyone in my position), challenged me again today. And for the first time, I responded to a threat by telling the truth, not for sympathy, not as an excuse, not for control, but simply to offer an explanation. After doing it, I was stricken by how calm I was and all this energy from past times when I had kept quiet and lied about my condition, all this energy came through as tears. Tapped on her name, and all the incidents. Felt much better afterwards.

Woke up with rambling thoughts first thing in the morning. Your body doesn't allow you to sleep if you are in danger of dying, so you wake up to find a way to take oxygen into your body. So while I wait for self-medication and tapping to work, hey, I can write some more. I have a lung infection, yet again, but I am not in the right state of mind yet to face the doctor and the why don't you take steroids argument. I refuse to be out of work and homeless, I'd rather self-medicate. Don't do this at home folks. If you can take steroids and they can help you, consider yourself lucky and take them for as long as you need to. They just make me unable to work, with all the ensuing obvious problems, that's all.With the EFT, I got many cognitive shifts. I realise now that I talk to people about my condition, whereas in the past I used to be too scared, thinking I'll just be labelled as mad, like the doctors and nurses at the Whittington Hospital labelled me.The next time I go for an When…
