About Me

My photo
I'm in my 30's, which to me sounds very odd. I only feel like I'm in my 20's and definitely not a grown up. I have spent the last 7 years battling with my health; firstly spending 2 years getting a diagnosis for a tumour on my pituitary gland which was causing Cushings Disease; then spending the rest of my life dealing with a pituitary gland that doesn't work. However, I have a fantastic family and an amazing boyfriend who I live with and adore - they keep me going and inspire me to try to make the most of life and my life in general.

Ups and Downs.....

So, for the fifth time I received my letter from Oxford endocrine clinic to confirm my condition and diagnosis of chronic fatigue, but again for the FIFTH time the wording was still not right! Gaaaahhhhh! I have phoned them so many times over the last 4 months I have lost count. It has become a really stressful situation which should have been so simple and completed months ago. I have been patient, very patient but I think this takes the piss. I am sick of everthing taking so long to sort out in the NHS, even the simplest things. Don't get me wrong I am very grateful to have the NHS and well, quite frankly I woiuld be dead without it but, my god they have been testing my gratefulness lately!
At least I know now, having seen the neurologist that I have no more neurological problems. I will be having tests to check the cognitive functions of my brain just to make sure there is no specific damage to any particular areas but I think it will be ok.
I am really looking forward to getting some normality back in my life.....
