Let's cover the good things about today! My big achievement was getting the ironing done. Now that may not sound like much but it required standing for quiiiite a long time. I managed to keep myself from getting bored by watching Game of Thrones on the laptop. Nearly caught up so I'll be ready for season three. With that done I really wanted to try and stay on my feet for a bit longer so I did as much as I could to sort the room out for the weekend. Problem is with this is that I only ever seem to do part-jobs, then knowing that I will have to finish them off is kinda daunting but I know it will get done. Hopefully I'll be okay to do more tomorrow *fingers crossed*. I did my best and I'm proud of it. Another great thing that happened today is that my USB slippers came, hooray! They are yummy. Hopefully, if I do feel okay tomorrow I'll do a little video and rave on about them.
The not so good stuff. Well the odd groin nerve thing continued. It's really not pleasant. Later that night in bed I realised that one leg was warm'ish and the other was very cold. I couldn't feel things properly then realised that it was because my leg had gone 'dead'. I really don't know why, it made no sense to me. I tried to just ignore it and put my pain hypnotherapy on. Up at 6:15am feeling rather off colour but managed to get a little more sleep. The foot cramping was more constant today, I don't even know how to stop it but the slippers certainly help with the pain :). Glands were really painful as was my jaw, I still don't know whether to get the freak teeth checked, hrm. The newer thing is these huge walls of tiredness that just hit randomly.
Anyways I've been talking with a friend, venting a little and she's urging me to give talking, reading doing medical related things a bit of a break as it's bad for my brain so for once I will listen. I don't know how these people put up with me but I'm very very happy and lucky that they do
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
