Public Service Announcement……
if you have someone in your life that has chronic health issues please please please understand that the person may not be able to do anything for themselves for weeks to months at a time. Take the time to make sure they are okay even though they may not ask for help.
I didnt ask for my body to fail.
My favorite quote from my doctor was, “it can’t really be that bad if you are still working and doing everything you do. “ I told him I didn’t know I had a choice. 🤷🏾♀️
Years in pain, tired and the many changes in me for no reason or apparent reason ... Hiding everything from someone else, pretending to be doing better than you are; until it no longer works. No matter how strong you want to be.
Then the moment comes when they tell you what you have ... You have mixed feelings: you finally know what you have, but how do you deal with it?
Lack of encouragement, wanting to lie down, taking medication frequently; having a whole pharmacy on top of the nightstand.
Then, the daily responses, "Why did you get so fat?" “I have this great diet, if you just go out and exercise.
That once beautiful hair of yours now awful and it falls out.
What happened to you??....
This is all true and that's why I'm sharing it!
Silent and invisible diseases do exist ...
When you have an invisible disease it is difficult to argue from your perspective with ignorant people.
Life takes a lot of turns !!!
Tired of being told:
* Did you go to the doctor?
* Have you tried this?
* Have you tried that?
* I don’t know what else we can do for you...
Yes! I tried and still try everything !!!
Doctors say this disease is forever. That I will not heal. However, I am not giving up, but I want to make others realize:
* A nap will not cure me but it will help me ...
* I am not lazy, I take medication and it sometimes makes me sleepy.
* I am not angry but sometimes cranky with pain.
* I struggle daily with pain, mobility problems, fatigue, the criticism of my environment.
Most frustratingly, people look at me and say, "It can't be that bad; you look good "
Despite the fact that my body is experiencing excruciating pain everywhere, of course I look good, I always try to look good, it is an "invisible" disease.
This disease affects me physically, mentally and emotionally. Because rare autoimmune diseases cannot be seen, but we feel them.
And they are there ... Silent attack but extra painful.

or some other disease you can’t see
I would like 2 of my friends to post (not share) this message to show that you are always there when that someone needs to talk.
In support of a friend, a family member who is fighting any of these diseases.
I have personally been diagnosed with 9 of the above and what a painful lifelong journey it has been in all aspects!
Whilst enduring 30 years of going through the useless cycles the nhs use with one specialist per body part 😵💫 (seperate physicians and endless delayed appointments for shoulder, back, neuro, gastro, muscular skeletal, gynaecology, etc etc etc 🥴
I studied ENDLESSLY for answers to self manage and ease my chronic pain and since the beginning of the 1st covid pandemic in 2019 after many years of contemplation and in truth worry about financial stability and procrastination 🤷🏼♀️ I took the leap of faith and decided to put aside my career as Sarah Halsall Hair and Makeup Artistry and instead share all the wisdom I’ve learnt for a greater cause and started Akasha 💜
I took my time in isolation to qualify as a certified Herbal medicine practitioner to have on paper what I’d learned over 3 decades to make, share, sell holistic products I use myself and for my children, friends and family for natural healing and organic skincare ❤️🩹
I created my YouTube channel specialising in sound healing, binaural therapy and guided meditation 🧘🏼♀️ serenity_tv_meditations (YouTube link ) 💙
I’m Still at the beginning of my new soul led career but sharing this so that anyone that resonates can find a source of healing built from personal experience and hope to build a community of like minded kin. Sending love and light to all going through these difficult obstacles there is light at the end of the tunnel but look within rather than rely on whats offered by the system as it all stems from profit and persecution at the cost of our wellbeing 💜
Look forward to connecting with you Xx
