Trying to keep positive but it’s difficult.

Hello again! 

Welcome to my club of multiple conditions! Where all conditions are welcome, so long as there's more than one! Lol

I'd give the ultrasound booking people a ring tomorrow, see if you're on the list for an appointment and say you'd like it ASAP so that you can get the results at your onc appointment. Can't hurt to ask. 

I've got degeneration in my lower spine too. How are your calcium levels? Have they told you to increase them to try and help protect your spine? They did that with my Gran.

If no reason showed in the MRI, are they sure it's that syndrome? I guess the neurologist will help figure that one out in time.

Lots of fun eh! Having a moan and getting it out often helps, so I hope it did. If not, a nice glass of whatever you like to drink at just the right temperature, and something silly on the TV often does it for me. 

Chin up, plod on, hunt that smile, and know we're always here!

You can sometimes feel like you're nobody round here if you haven't got a 'syndrome'.

I haven't. 

Not as far as I know.

I'm feeling like I'm letting the side down. I'm going to have to invent a syndrome for myself.

Maybe being 'normal' is a syndrome in and of itself?

;)

You both managed to make me smile 

I am on calcium and vitamin d since my osteoporosis diagnosis, so hoping that will help and I am considering the bone density drugs. Will try and phone to see if my ultrasound is soon. 

If you know how to catch normal syndrome, then I’ll have that one please 

Have a great weekend all xx

Heya, 

How did calling the bookings line go? How are you feeling?

Hi Lass

Still in limbo with ultrasound, after a lot of phoning different departments I find my ultrasound is ten days after I see my surgeon. So I’ve contacted him indirectly, the lady I spoke to has emailed him, I’ve asked X-ray  if the ultrasound can be squeezed in before I see him, although whether the results will be ready, who knows. Still waiting to hear from them and my appointment is on Friday! 

As far as how I’m feeling. If I’m honest, pretty awful, I’ve got some none health related issues and I’m trying to deal with that while my body is falling to bits and sometimes I just feel like I’m keeping my head above water. I keep myself busy and much as I feel like pulling the duvet over my head and giving up, I get up each day and just keep going, but it’s not easy. 

Thanks for listening to my moans again

How's it going Mrs?

Sorry Lass that I didn’t reply, didn’t really know what to say. As far as my thyroid goes, everything has been postponed, so waiting till all this is over to get my ultrasound and check what’s going on in my remaining side. As far as my eye problems go, been  referred to a neurologist, also postponed, problem is getting worse, but just learning to live with it and will hopefully turn out to be nothing. 

My personal problems haven’t improved I’m afraid and I don’t feel able to talk about them on here, but let’s just say I am just hanging in there and no more. I’m devastated with what’s going on and I don’t know if things will ever be the same.

I hope everyone is keeping well in these difficult times.

Take Care
