Well I've spent a few more weeks feeling absolutely rotten; nausea,
abdominal pain, back pain, mouth ulcers and on top of that my eye's
still blurry. I've had pretty much every test they could think of, my
consultant was worried it was a relapse of leukaemia with the back pain
and everything so I've had a Bone Marrow test and a Lumber Puncture and
spent a few days pretty worried but both the results came back totally
clear. On top of that my X-ray and MRI scan were clear as well so its
looking like it might be the Graft vs. Host of the gut again, which
just means going back on the Budesonide. It's a bit of a step backwards
but still it's not that bad, the Budesonide doesn't affect me really,
but they have to confirm thats what it is first before I go back on it.
Which means a few more days waiting for results and feeling crap. I've
missed a couple of my lectures already and my physio has just gone out
the window because I feel so rubbish, but I suppose its best this
happens now rather than later on in the year when assignments start
pouring in.
All in all though I'd much rather feel like this than have all the
mental affects of the steroids which, by the way, have finally worn
off. I'm not feeling anxious or depressed anymore and I can concentrate
fine, so even if I miss a lecture or tutorial I can catch up.
Still I wish they'd get on and give me this endoscopy so they can figure out what's wrong with me.
