Highlight of my Saturday so far - being told by my pilates instructor that she can see me getting stronger and my balance improving 😊

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Uni classes are officially done. Just one exam in a couple of weeks and then I’m finished for the year 😊

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

After almost a week without cramps, they’ve returned with a vengeance tonight ☹️

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Now my energy is back back I’ve spent a bit of time contemplating my plans for 2027. Still enjoying my job and study, but I’m missing not flexing my writing muscle like I used to when I was a journalist. Next year I might explore dipping my toe back into that area a little bit, but on my own terms🤔

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Escaping the rain. Also had my fourth pilates class this morning and I can feel myself getting stronger 💪

Friday breakfast. It has been a long week so needed a treat 🥯

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Final assessment for one of uni subjects is officially done. Just the exam for the other one to go in a few weeks and I’ll be finished for another year 😊

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Had a day of awful cramps. Currently at uni but seriously debating whether I should skip it and go home to rest instead

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Another reformer pilates class done this morning. I think it’s becoming a healthy addiction

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Public holiday coffee after 7am reformer pilates. Amazing how incredible I feel after a class

010

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

End of the working week cramps hitting a bit tonight. Looking forward to a week where this no longer happens, but i know it’s going to take time

000

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Long weekend is finally here. Looking forward to a bit of study, a lot of relaxing and some more reformer pilates 😊

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Always love going to watch one of the barristers on the list speak so passionately about their practice area. Always thought I’d end up working as a criminal or family law solicitor once I finish my degree and get admitted. But I’m now considering institutional liability as well 🤔

010

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Four day work week coming up which I’m looking forward to. Along with another two reformer pilates classes. I think it’s going to become a (healthy) addiction - I only wished I had tried it sooner!

000

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Arvo walk done. Very sore after yesterday’s pilates class, but was determined to make the most of today’s beautiful weather ☀️

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Coffee after my first reformer pilates class. Loved it but I think I’ll be a bit sore tomorrow

010

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Looks like another night of cramps and pain. Thankfully I managed to sleep fine last night with both. But any pain is not going to stop me from having a good weekend now my energy is back 💪

000

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

My body reminding me that while my energy may be high, so too is my pain. Cramps are extremely bad tonight, and I’m wondering if I’m having a flare. Gone to bed in the hope of sleeping it off

000

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Looking forward to this weekend with my energy now restored. Going to my first reformer pilates class on Saturday morning (following through on my vow that I would prioritise my health and fitness whenever I felt better), and having a long overdue haircut, plus spending time with my dad 😊

110

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Got a last minute invite to a work event tonight. Was initially a little hesitant to attend mainly due to my previous energy issues, but glad I went because I had a great time, and yes I’m tired afterwards but not heavily fatigued. Just grateful to be well enough to attend social events again 😊

000

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Cramps are definitely hurting a bit tonight (energy is still good though so I’m happy). Heading home to eat and sit in front of the TV with my heat pack

000

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Have a work dinner coming up (dress code is cocktail) and I’m currently trying to decide between these three dresses. At the moment I’m really liking the first one, but thinking the third one might suit my shape more?

110

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Feeling a bit tired (but not fatigued or exhausted) so might have any early night 💤

010

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Another short weights workout done. Energy still high, no brain fog and most importantly my mood has improved 100%. I feel like a new person and yet also like the old me. Couldn’t be happier 😊

010

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Re-signed up to pilates classes over the weekend. I think I finally have the energy to actually show up to them now 😊

000

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

My advice to women who are battling fatigue and brain fog - get your iron checked asap. And if you get an iron infusion be prepared to wait a while before it kicks in, particularly if you’ve been deficient for a while. I was told it would take 7 to 10 days (when in reality it was almost 10 weeks)

000

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Now that my energy is returning and the brain fog is lifting, dealing with a chronic illness shows who you can trust. Had some wonderful support, and sadly some who started off well but vanished when I was at my worst. Will be interesting to see if they return when they find out I’m feeling better

010

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Energy is definitely on the rise - went for another walk this afternoon and I’m not exhausted or out of breath afterwards. Almost 10 weeks after my iron infusion and it’s finally kicking in 🥳💪

120

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Don’t want to jinx things but I think my fatigue has improved a little bit this afternoon. Is my iron infusion (which according to my recent blood test did work) finally starting to take effect?

010

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Slow and short afternoon walk done. First walk I’ve managed in more than a month and did it while battling fatigue and cramps. Weather was too nice in Melbourne to not go outside today

010

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Much needed coffee. Nice to finally spend a Saturday morning outside of my house. Spent the last two weekends working on uni assignments and/or sick

011

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Been a bit quiet on here lately. Truth is it has been a bit of rough road on the heath front (chronic illness ladies - know that I see you and you’re not alone), but I’m determined to not let either defeat me. Anyway here’s a photo of me taken this week at work in a new suit (which I love)

210

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Blood test results have come back normal. Still going to see my GP later this week - as I know something is causing this extreme fatigue

000

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Hope all the dads had a great Father’s Day. Beyond grateful for mine at the moment. He has been my rock and my biggest supporter this year and I don’t know what I would do without him ❤️

000

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Uni assignment done. Now time to rest before dinner 😴

010

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Raging Saturday night at home with my heat pack. Let’s see how long I last before giving up and going to bed 😴

110

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Glad these arrived yesterday. Been sick three times so far this year and I want to avoid getting ill again so going back to wearing these on public transport again

000

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Woke up exhausted and with a bit of a blood nose. Limited energy to go anywhere today so only managed a short walk to the post office and cafe. Now sitting down to continue working on my next uni assignment

000

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Anyway glad the week from hell is over. Never cried so much in my life this week (mostly tears of pain or frustration). Looking forward to hopefully a better week next week. Hoping for some more answers as well as to why I’m still feeling so unwell 🤞

000

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

48 hours since my blood test and I’m yet to be called back to my doctor to discuss the results. Looks like I’m spending my weekend trying not to worry 😟

020

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Looks like Friday is my flare day. Second week in a row where I’m spending the night on the couch with my heat pack

110

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Went to bed early and I’ve been woken up in pain. Hoping it eases soon and I can some more sleep. This condition is beyond horrible 😔

100

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Forecasting either an early night or falling asleep on the couch. So exhausted 😴

000

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Six months since my diagnosis and I’m still working out who I can trust to disclose my illness to. Sadly I’ve been burnt at least once by telling someone I thought I could trust only for them to tell someone I wasn’t comfortable knowing. Needless to say I’ve started to pull back from that person

110

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Blood test done this morning (now the wait for the results), and I survived my first day back in the office after being sick. Still exhausted but at least the chest infection is clearing

110

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Aching all over and never been more fatigued in my life after working from home. Hoping tomorrow’s blood test will help work out what the hell is going on🤞

010

Kristie Sullivan @kristiesullivan.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Beyond happy that winter is finally over and Melbourne is getting sun for the first day of spring. Loving how my nails look in the sun as well 💅
