We start with a catch up after a busy couple of weeks, including Mum being interviewed about coming over from Ireland. Then we move into what I’ve been doing, including trying at home massage and what it does to the nervous system.

We talk about the parasympathetic state and how it can briefly give you a window of feeling more normal, enough to get out of the house, before the reality hits afterwards. That delayed crash, the kind that wipes you out long after the activity is over.

From there we get into the practical side of it. What actually helps when you’re in that state and your body is completely done.

We also touch on body image, how illness changes your relationship with your body, and the mental side of that.

We finish, as always, with what’s keeping us company.
