It went great the doc was here for over 2 hours she has got 20yrs experience with fibro and how it affect's patients. She also noticed the way i walk and she thinks i need a pelvic xray because my spine looks curved. It never used to be like it. So got 2 week wait then will get the decision fingers crossed.

My daughter has a condition called NEAD(Non-epileptic attack disorder, with age regression and blackouts). She has stopped breathing 4 times since these attacks began over 4 years ago. It does everything that epilepsy does but there is no treatment and we get no warnings. And September her bladder just stopped working causing a huge build up of urine in her bladder, so much so that her body started to absorb it, toxins then triggered her NEAD. Could not wake her up so back to A&E on blues and twos. Into resus and the doctor claimed her bladder was empty. At which point I demanded to know where all her water was then. Her brought in the ultrasound machine just to shut me up only to find that if they did not empty her bladder quick it was at risk of bursting. Plus it was backing up to her kidneys. Anyway it was another 36 hours before they could bring her around properley. It still goes on and she sepnds 7 days of every 9 on antibiotics, but they are now at least doing tests. She had some done on Wednesday, Urodynamics, and they said 'oh, your bladder really is not working is it'. Something we have known for months. I need to get the eveniong meal on now so will get back to the site later on XXXXX
