I'm back!!!!!
If there's anyone out there reading this, I hope you had a good Christmas! Happy New Year! I'm sorry I've been away so long. There are lots of reasons, but anyway, I'm back now. The good news is that the chest specialist has decided that I don't have sarcoidosis! Woohoo! The rheumatologist has told me that I don't have active arthritis too. He is sending me for a bone scan because I'm not on HRT.
I should be getting my special shoes from the hospital this week. As for how I've been, well my memory is awful and I'm getting words muddled. I need to do some research on 'fibro fog'. I had been sleeping well up to about a week ago, but I'm back to the disturbed nights. I'm in a lot of pain for a lot of the time, unless I don't do anything, and I'm not falling into that trap. I'm getting most of the pain in my legs, feet and lower back, but some in my shoulders, arms and hands too. Pretty much all over really.
Mentally I've been sort of ok. I haven't been too depressed, but the OCD has been getting steadily worse. I haven't seen my doctor for a few weeks, but I need to see him soon. The corners of my mouth keep cracking (vitamin deficiency?), and I've been having tummy trouble despite being on loperamide and ranitidine. I think that's enough for now, but I'll be updating my blog daily in future.
