HI everyone. I have been quieter lately and have not been admitted for 6 months to a hospital. Now at point where I have been accepted to the Rheumy at uch. I see heamotology there and respiratory. Diabetes been all over show and I have broncheotitis. Asthma inhalers seem to help but it’s chest infection after chest infection.

I am more mobile. Physio is excellent. But taper from 40 to 9 is hard. Lots more pain and all I want now is

My face back. And hair from the recent cyclo chemo. Applying for the PIP. I don’t think I will get it. Although can’t drive from pain meds and legs and doing the stairs is a marathon. Pretty low. Had hypos. And inflammatory markers creeping up.

Now think I also have fybromyalgia.

And seen an amazing urologist about bladder since chemo.

Hoping to see a diabetic consultant as my meds caused my hypos

Thinking of you all. Really helpful about the a PIP. I have to do mine ASAP.

With love xxxxx.

Don’t give up on the PIP, I know of many people who seem to be successful on appeal, as if it were some sort of right of passage. 🌷
