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

Update

I think something is starting. My chest is feeling odd and it feels like cold air is coming up my throat.

I just had a shower and noticed something strange. When I looked down my knees were kind of purple with salmon pink blotches all over them. When I got out of the shower and came upstairs and looked at my legs again (while standing) the blotches were still there but my feet were white. My neck and parts of my face were also noticably pale and there were some darker pink patches on my face.

My neck feels horrible. Scans tomorrow, I wonder if I might be able to get them to check my legs. I need to be careful though, it's so easy just to notice a billion things that are slightly wrong.

Starting to feel a bit ill, think its time to go to bed.
