Over a long weekend back in February some of our team spent several days working alongside wildlife cameraman Hamza Yassin (of Strictly Come Dancing fame!) and the rest of the crew in filming a feature for the forthcoming ‘Wild Isles’ series that started on BBC One at the weekend.
This series covers yet more of the amazing wildlife spectacles that we are lucky enough to support in our ‘wild isles’, but focuses on the more hidden, hard to see, elusive and surprising wildlife experiences our countryside supports. We don’t want to give the game away, but make sure you keep a look out for the National Nature Reserves at Lower Derwent Valley and Skipwith Common as we track down one special visitor, who, having travelled thousands of miles to get here, often remains elusive and hard to see. Whilst we have been studying this species for a few years now, it’s great to be able to share this work, along with the amazing footage with a wider audience – so make sure you tune in on Sunday evenings for the next few weeks, or watch all of the episodes on BBC iPlayer.

Invisible illnesses are real and exhausting and some people don't seem to understand. The word phrase" You don't look sick" hit harder. It sounds incredibly tough and exhausting, both physically and mentally. Dealing with a severe flare up, the endless waiting for proper diagnosis and treatment, and the toll it takes on our headspace... that's a heavy load, and it's completely valid to feel like you're running on empty. These conditions — whether autoimmune diseases, chronic pain, fatigue syndromes, attack silently. They don't always show up as visible scars, wheelchairs, or obvious signs, which makes the dismissal ("You look fine," "Just push through," or "A nap won't fix that") even more painful and isolating.
ReplyDeleteWhen my immediate younger sister was diagnosed with MS, she did everything she was told, including weekly Avonex injections -and she continued to get sicker.
Her life changed almost by accident when she was pushed into natural healing through Deborah Herbal Healing Home. It took her 1 year and 8 months but as she changed how she ate, fasted, cleansed, and supported her body, things shifted. It wasn't overnight, but it happened in ways she was told were impossible. She haven't been bothered by MS for 8 years now. Today, at 58, she feels stronger, calmer, and more alive. I would highly recommend if you are going through any autoimmune disease.
