Getting my butt kicked by pain

Today was a busy day spent at uni with my friend, sitting for 5 HOURS trying to work our how to do our assignment. Thankfully I think we've worked part of it out, I'm going to leave the rest for tomorrow.

The day didn't start out so well, as I barely slept all night and then chose for some unknown stupid reason to wear my hair up. No sleep + tight hair= migraine! Then my ankle had been aching all day and it just got worse and worse to the point that I actually had to take off my boot in my sign language class, which didn't help. So now I've had a shower, taken my boot off and am lying with my ankle resting on a pillow waiting for my mountains of pain killers to kick in. So far... no luck.

I don't know how much longer I can keep this whole uni + ankle thing going because I get home and I'm exhausted. It's not just my ankle that hurts, the pain goes all the way up to my knee. Not to mention the fact that I have all my normal joint pain as well! Ahh this is going to be a long journey.

I'm going to have to do so much exercise when my ankle heals. I've put on a bit of weight trying to heal my stupid ankle and I just want to feel healthy and fit :) So there will be no excuses once my ankle heals!

Sorry for the rambling rant... I'm just super tired and in quite a huge amount of pain.

Now for a quote for the day...

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...
