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

Compression Help

Today is blurgh day. When I try to stand up I feel weak, dizzy and shakey. My left leg is really hurting in pulses from hip to foot. I thought it would be good to try the compression stockings as they have made a difference in the past. All that's happened so far is that the pain in the leg has increased, mobility has increased a fraction but the tightness somewhere at the back of my mouth/throat has increased and my voice is starting to get strangled, so it might be on its way out again. I think maybe the compression stockings have worsened stuff this time :(. I'll update the post should the removal make a difference.

On a plus note, I phoned the pharmacy and they stock the right brand of medicine I need so the hassle has been lessened :).

Whine whine whine. At least I've caught up on postings, hooray!
