Exams are coming

One month. That's what stands between me and the holidays. The 20th of June. Last exam! And I couldn't be happier!! All my uni assignments are submitted and now its time to hit the books. I'm sure that over the next month a lot of chocolate, salt and vinegar chips, GF biscuits, cakes and more will be consumed. Probably to the point of a sugar migraine, however that is exactly what I am trying to avoid. Just for the next month, I beg my body to give me good health. No never ending migraines, not elbow pain from writing and typing too much and no severe hip pain for no good reason other than my body felt like it. Now don't get me wrong, I'm a chronic pain/exam balancing legend. I've learnt a thing or two these past couple of years, but uni exams are a whole different balancing act. And usually, when I'm tired and stressed to the max during exams, pain and illness isn't too far behind! :( So please god just give me a little break for a few weeks!

Darkness

Darkness. For a long time that's what I lived with day in and day out. At 16 it's hard to hear that the rest of your life will be filled with pain and suffering, that no one can fix you. I had friends, friends that didn't understand what I was going through, so I retreated and so did they. I can honestly say that I've never considered myself to live with depression, but this time was probably the closest I've ever come to it. I felt like I was stuck in a dark hole that I couldn't get out of. Even worse, I felt like no one even knew I was there. I was the happy girl, the smiley one, the 'I'm okay' one, the one you would never have guessed lives with chronic pain. And I still am. I still am all those things and yet more. I think when you first get given a life changing diagnosis you go through many stages until you get to acceptance, one of them often being feeling isolated and alone. And that's what I felt. I didn't know anyone in my situa...

Finally! Thank you!

So I found this link talking about chronic pain, especially in the Australian population. It is so true! I myself have found that APMA is a very useful organisation and finally it's being recognised! http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-06-20/queenslanders-on-frontline-of-fight-against/5540410 Have a watch! It's amazing :) Good reason to smile today. Lets get some awareness going! BB :)

Turquoise for Dysautonomia Awareness Month

Again it's been a month since I posted... Opps! It's been an intense month! My endoscopy went well. They were worried about an anaphylactic reaction to the Propofol but luckily that didn't happen. Sadly though they didn't find anything so still no answers but I've got my gastro appointment in about 3 weeks so hopefully we'll have a plan to move forward then. I also managed to have a POTS flare after the procedure due to the 'eating and drinking nothing for 18 hours' thing. But after fluids and the threat of an admission I went home to snuggle up with Ami. Next in September was an anaphylactic reaction to peanuts, uni problems and a possible CRPS diagnosis, amongst others. Let's just focus on the possible CRPS diagnosis. As you may or may not know, I fractured my right ankle in 2014, followed by 13 weeks in a boot and crutches + 4 months of rehab, plus rehab that continues to this day. My ankle has since never be the same, but usually it...
