So..........today S was given a lift to the hospital for a meeting with her kimo doctor. The doctor advised S to get a flu jab next week when she goes for her blood test.....which have to be taken 2 days before her kimo treatment . I later found out that , as a carer , i am allowed to get mine free of charge.............shame the doctor didn't tell S this .
S mentioned that she was having leg spasms , her hand joints are seizing up at times and more hair in clumps is falling out . The latter is the most distressing when you see what S's hair was like just 10 months ago at friends' NYE party.
S was told that she was allowed to take paracetamol and ibru painkiller tablets .
Six more days and it's the second round of kimo.
