So i haven't been able to do any blog posts for the past few days because my health has taken a turn for the worse.
I am still struggling with nausea and vomiting and of course loosing weight. So because im not able to keep a great deal of food down I am feeling very weak and tired Constantly! This has been happening now for around a month and I have been hospitalised quite a few times as a result because of my blood sugars dropping down to 2.2. The hospital in my area is pretty useless and doesn't ever seem to want to do anything in the here and now, they would much rather make referrals.
So I have been seeing my GP a lot lately and he is rather worried about the gastro problems so he made an urgent referral to a gastro Dr who has knowledge of EDS over 3 weeks ago. One week in we hadn't heard anything so my GP sent over the referral by fax directly to the Gastro department, Week Two we still hadn't heard anything so my GP called the department and they said that they will get an appointment letter sent out to me. It is now Week Three and still no appointment letter.
Yesterday I forced myself to have something to eat and shortly after eating I started getting intense stomach cramps, palpitations and sweating. I stood up to go to the bathroom as I felt really sick but didn't actually get very far before i fainted and collapsed...
When I came round both of my knees were dislocated, I was in soo much pain it was unreal. I managed to pop them both back in place but my right leg was having a lot of spasms and my left knee cap was sitting a little too low so I ended up having to go into hospital. They put my kneecap back where it should be and just told me to go home.
The hospital in my area is appalling, they are really rude an arrogant! Before I was diagnosed with EDS they were really good but now I have a diagnosis they just don't want to know or just don't want to touch you!
Today I am feeling really sick and really weak and tired so I am literally doing nothing all day, I haven't even got dressed and I don't intend on doing so until I have a bath later and I will then only change over into some fresh Pj's. Im sorry this isn't a very interesting post, I will try and update my blog as much as possible whilst im feeling ill but obviously cant make any promises!
I hope your all feeling as well as possible, Much Love, Peace Out!
Ps. You will notice that from now on I will be making the writing a little larger and will also be putting colour behind the text. This is following a request made by a lovely lady with dyslexia that was finding it hard to read the writing as it was before. xxx
