I want to tell you a story! More for the women, sorry guys!

This is for the newbies as we tell ourselves that once we were all normal and for me, I feel like one of the old groups now, but maybe more for me as a staid member of this site.

What do we really go through and what really happens in between? Well for me everything went wrong after a hysterectomy as that is where my story either begins or ends or as I am now just a static person.

Dear women there are so many similar things that you will go through the change with this condition and one of the main reasons that I did not make the connection myself. I had a hysterectomy back in 2011 and as any working girl would do,

I just got on with it, but nothing was quite the same. I went on for a further 3 years until both the job and my health got the better of me and I really did just walk out one day, from my perspective now if you get to that stage then seek help or at least go and talk to your doctor.

There are a few ideas as to why they finally thought it was ATAXIA mainly to do with my three MRI’s and the electrode tests but I cannot deny that I have been trying to find some sort of link.

Oh, by the way if you happen to be a gentleman then I am not trying to exclude you! I would love to hear what you have to say!

The point is you will find it harder by just the nature of the change and someone told me that it doesn’t last forever! I just can’t find them! Not all bleak but I love to open questions!
