It's not a case of not wanting to go. I was forgetting to go and they have now taken me off the list.
Definately don't want to be 21 again. Misdiagnosis and wrong meds, wrong support. Yuk.Do not follow me, I don't know where I am going. -

I was 15 when I had my accident. Mentally I had to get to know the new me. The new me was at that time rebellious, angry and self destructive. I felt robbed.Do not follow me, I don't know where I am going.

Hey guys
well here I am with my update. Today was a good day, I felt so much more positive after a rubbish few day symptom wise.
New symptoms include double vision, like I can’t focus after a few vodka’s lol, worsening of my twitches and spasms and the fatigue has hit a new level, just putting on my socks is a mammoth effort.
Anyway, I went to my gp appointment, a bit anxious of the “here we go, let’s repeat myself for the hundredth time!” But I needn’t have worried.
She was great, she sat & listened to me blurt our everything that’s frustrated me these last couple of years and agreed looking back over my notes that something is definitely wrong. After an examination I finally got my referral, plus 2 MRI scans, the upshot is she believes it’s 1 of 2 things. Either fibromyalgia or early MS. Either way to be taken seriously and to start this path is such a relief, all I want from this is a better quality of life for myself to give my family the time and fun they deserve and to get the right support, be that an electric tin opener or new door handles, will be a great help.
I shall keep you all updated if my progress and thank you to each and every one of you, knowing you are here is giving me the courage to pursue this!
Much love
