olbas oil and sleep

Oh what a short-lived good patch.

Yesterday evening I felt absolutely dreadful. All the symptoms came flooding back and I got a full whammy of most of them.

I got one of those nice 'freaky' 12-hour, fully-blown colds I get when I've overdone it or got stressed. Ick - I had a horrid night! Especially because it was so hot!

Sheesh - listen to Miss Moany Guts over here lol

Olbas oil in my essential oil burner, on my pillow, and on a handkerchief round my neck, there I was, wondering where CFS Light had gone.

Where has it gone?

Huh?

So this morning - urm.... I slept through.

I basically slept through until 5.30pm. A full 17 hours of sleep. Did I wake up feeling refreshed? Not one iota.

Hmph.

At least the cold had subsided. The dull ache in my ears, and neck, and the rest of the lovely ME/CFS/PVFS complimentary symptoms have come back, but at least it's without a cold.

The most hard-hitting I find, is the fatigue I'm experiencing. I've made myself stay up for about 6 hours or so - and I'm completely exhausted and ready to sleep for another 17 hours - easily.

I'm keeping a positive frame of mind though. I probably overdid it these past few days and am finally 'paying the price'. But maybe, I can get over this 'hump' and continue the good patch I was experiencing.

Maybe? Pleeeeeeeeeeeease!
