    Well, I thought after my latest admission with hypocalcemia, I'd be ok, but no, things got worse! I suffered from an excruciating headache after being discharged, culminating with intense confusion (couldn't figure out how to get dressed, use the toilets, banging in the furniture etc..SCARY!!). I was re-admitted on 6 December and had an MRI 2 days later (!) which first showed a bleed in the brain! then I was told it was…

    Hiya all. Got back from my holiday yesterday; probably the worst I've had! Got very poorly on arrival (acute bronchitis) which got me bruises on my bum due to injections...! Then had a chat with my boyfriend who agreed it was best to each move our way as he cannot cope with my 'condition' as he puts it... a 15 minute conversation to end a 10 year relationship.... it hurts so much inside to know how little I meant to him…
