Welcome to my health blog. I am a 29 year old living with a range of strange and confusing medical symptoms and conditions including various functional/neurological disorders, Endometriosis, PCOS, Raynaud's Disease
and seronegative Hughes Syndrome. This blog is to document my struggle with doctors and the impact these illnesses have on my life. I hope that in some small way, my experiences will give others who are in similar situations some sort of strength or some form of comfort. Thanks for visiting!

Some may question my choice of title but if you are ill constantly and seem to always have your brain on pain and discomfort that's making your life very difficult, you begin to feel that perhaps you are a hypochondriac or what's worse, that other people see you as one. Whether you are or not, you still feel pain, sadness, and dispair which brings me to this quote from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling:

"Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?" - Albus Dumbledore

14.. Perhaps.

After the silliness of last night I managed to get a few hours sleep. The family came round today which I was so happy about, was lovely to finally see them after so long. However it was a little sad that my neice has taken to calling me my other sisters name as I haven't seen her in so long. I wasn't really that active today but wandered about in the house a bit.

At about 4pm they left to go back home and my face twinged and pulled to the left again. I started to feel really rubbish and my heart/chest felt quite strained so I thought it would be best to go to sleep for a while. Woke up at 9pm and things seemed okay until I stood up.

Seems conisitent now that I'm really cold, my leg (around the knee) goes red and hurts, chest feels girgly and strained, shallow breathing, headrush, face droop/pull (again).. I find it hard to put into words.

I wish someone would fix me.
