hi everyone

it feels like some time that ive been online. the last week has been extremely tough with so many trauma aniversaries. i am very tired now from just trying to be safe and get through each hour as best i could. 

i was also admitted to hospital twice across the last 3 days. initially for a migraine treatment overnight however during the infusion there was some complications that needed checking out. its nothing serious thankfully as originally everyone was concerned. 

i still have very minimal use of my arm and its still incredibly painful despite medications but at least i know whats causing it now. i have to speak to my neurologist on friday as there is now also concerns that my neuropathic condition has now spread to my arm as wel as my digestive system. 

it has been a very overwhelming week to say the least and so very tiring. even having a shower with this latest complication is taking nearly an hour for me to shower and get dressed and try and do my hair as everything is one handed right now

Hi @outlander 

Sounds like it’s been extremely hard for you. You just can’t catch a break. I’m so sorry that life just keeps throwing curve balls (or maybe sledgehammers) at you. 

Thinking of you.

My dearest @outlander 

So sorry that things are still so hard for you hon. Wishing there was something that we could do to help.

I hope your neurologist can answer some of your questions.

In the meantime, am here for you through all of this.

Sending lots of love and hugs 💕💕

Oh wow @outlander that is so intense, I am really sorry to hear that things are so painful and scary for you at the moment. I hope you've been able to get lots of rest, and that there'll be insights/treatments for you soon to alleviate the stress and discomfort. Sending hugs 💜
