Hey everyone! I know I haven't been around LJ much lately, sorry about that. I've missed you all! Some of you I've kept up to date with Facebook, but for everyone else I'll do a recap of what's been going on.

( Cut for health-related ramblings etc )

Thank you *hugs back* I'm just keeping on keeping on right now! Trying not to let it get me down too much.

Oh dear, you just have to have it all.

I hope that the doctors can find a good way of helping you ease the pain.

Love A

I know, I'm so greedy that way! =)

I'm trying to remain upbeat and not let it all get on top of me. I'm really trying!! Lol. xoxoxox

Oh HON! *hugs*
It's good to get it diagnosed though, so you know what you are dealing with! Always better to have a name on it.

Thank god your brother-in-law had that talk with that doctor!

I know, he wasn't even seeing her in a 'professional' capacity, she was actually there with her son who was at the university, and they just got chatting. It was a totally random thing, but obviously just meant to be!

*oh - just realized how pretty your journal looks....*

Sorry, got distracted there!
Is it totally random that all these conditions have decided to play with your body, or is it common to have these condition together?

(speaking of diagnoses btw - and I am not trying to hog your thread here - but all that angst you had to deal with from me - not daring to post as mod etc.... I have finally been diagnosed with Avoidant Personality Disorder. Feels good to have a name on that as well)

Thank you! *twirls*

Well, apparently there is some sort of crossover with HMS and ME, there seems to be quite a few people on the HMS forum that have ME, atm there's a line of thinking that having HMS may make you more prone to getting it as the body is already struggling. (I remember having pains as a child long before the ME ever hit, so it's possible that this has been brewing for many years) Also the fibromyalgia seems to come along with HMS quite a lot as well. It might also explain my IBS, as it's another common symptom!!

I'm so glad for you that you've finally got a definitive diagnosis, it does seem to help when you can actually name what it is that's happening. I hope they can help you now. =) *hugs*

\o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ !!!

Have missed you horribly, of course.

The irony is that right around the time you sent back your lovely screed I had a run in myself with computerquit, hospitalization for cross-reactive allergies, and now, an MRI (not mine, but I still have to pay attention).

You have Celebratory Spam in your gmail, some of which actually might be something relevant to ask your physio about.

Oh man, that's a lot to deal with. I'm so glad to hear from you though, no wonder you've been preoccupied with other and more important things. I guess it's good to have a diagnosis? I hope your life will become easier and more comfortable now that they can get you proper treatments.

*hugs you (carefully but tightly)* ♥!
