I'm Back!!

Ok so I know its been forever! Like 2 months... but I'm back :D

Everything has been pretty hectic here. I spent 13 weeks in a fracture boot and tomorrow will be 15 weeks since I fractured it. I've still got my crutches but I'm hoping to get off them in the coming weeks and maybe even get back to work. I'm excited/nervous about going back. I don't really like working there, its tough on my joints and I'm not treated very well (its full of gossip and bitching). But at the same time, some of the people are lovely and a lot of people have left so I should have quite a few responsibilities. Also, its a job, it's mind numbingly boring, so I can clear my mind and I get paid. I'm not sure how my joints will cope with it all but we'll see. And once I start working again I'm going to start looking for a new job, something where I can sit down!

In other news! 2 weeks till exams and I'm freaking out about everything! I can't do this year again, I really need to pass!! I'm not the kind of person that fails and I don't know what I'd do if I failed this semester. After exams, my placement will be coming up and then I'm planning a trip to Sydney :) I'm really excited, as its my home town and I haven't been in ages. Should be staying with a close friend for a week! I just love Sydney and travelling in general! Love love love airports and planes :) It'll be a nice way to start off the new year. Kind of like a reward for this year.

I'm also making a photo album of 2014. It's been a tough year, lots of firsts and hopefully lasts but I'm pretty excited. Should be good!


Also..... I got a geneticist appointment!!! To test for EDS!! January 15th! I'm actually planning to fly to Sydney, but I think I'll be fine. I don't know how I'll react but I'm not sure I'll even get the formal diagnosis on the 15th, I might have to wait for testing to come back so I'll be fine. Have been making a long list of all the symptoms I experience just in case they ring up soon. Just so I'm ready. I also haven't decided if I should have mum come into the appointment with me. I know she'd want to but at the same time, he might ask me things that I haven't spoken to her about. Which would be awkward... So I'll have to think about it. Maybe chat to her about it, although she'll probably say that she wants to but that it's up to me. I'll be 19 though at the time so maybe I should go alone :)

Well bye for now!

BB :)

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...
