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

Valve Please!

Oh gods the pressure just keeps building! Now, even if I try to whisper my head feels so dizzy. I can't even breathe and whisper! It's getting really uncomfortable and this feels exactly how it did before the January episode. Pushing at my neck or putting my chin to the right doesn't even do anything. So do I start taking asprin in case it is a clot or something or do I leave that until after speech therapy on the 29th?

So what do I do if 'it' happens again? I really don't know.. :( I'm really am scared to go back to DVH.. Urgh! Just the thought of it makes me feel ill.
