We have been quiet on here lately due to health issues. Recently diagnosed with non epileptic attack disorder has significantly reduced what we can do (small gardening jobs,and repairs ok). A big lesson in what happens if you overwork and dont look after your body especially when going through stressful times.

One piece of advice, if you can afford it take out private healthcare cover as the support available on nhs for conditions like this is non existent in Torbay.

We are taking each day as it comes, starting treatment next week and hoping to see some improvement soon but thought it relevant to post this during Mens Health Week

So take some time out and look after yourself and understand it is ok to say no to things that put too much stress on you and to take yourself out of toxic situations.

If you need to talk things through, are anxious or have lost confidence then Talk Works in Torbay are recommended

It seems only right that we embrace not just as it is our brand colour but having recently been prescribed Gabapentin (a drug often given to epilepsy patients) for shoulder pain it has opened our eyes to the challenges people have to overcome. With an estimated 1 in 100 being affected we should all be more aware of how we can be more supportive.
