I have got multiple complex illnesses and disabilities which some of them overlaps. I have got:
Familial Hemiplegic Migraine
Hypothyroidism
Fibromyalgia
Osteoarthritis in back/hips/right leg
Sciatica caused by recurrent prolapsed discs in lower back
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Asthma
Restless Leg Syndrome
Social phobia
Anxiety/Stress/Depression
Learning Difficulties
Curvature of spine due by having a Slipped Femoral Epiphysis and lost 3 inches of my right leg when I was 12. I didn’t want a raised boot as I was already bullied at school. The shortening of my right leg caused the curvature as I was still growing. I had 6 pins and a plate in my hip until my body rejected it when I was 20. I am 47 now.
There’s a few more but I don’t want to bore you any longer.
I have a very caring loving hubby who has learning difficulties and also my only son who’s 9 who also has ADHD and other needs.
My name is Katie and thank you for letting me join Scope. ??

Hello Mumof2ds ??
I sent you a reply but I think I forgot to post it. You may receive two posts from me. I’m new like you so there are going to be a few hiccups along the way. As the saying goes, you’re learning all the time. ??
