And Christmas Eve proved a momentous time for another change, I ended up down the doctors with awful pain in the upper part of my abdomen. Which was clouded to to be gastritis. But I was in the new year of 2016 was reffered to another gatreontologist Dr Dewar. Gyne side had also tried to improve my pain by issuing me with a hotmail injection called Zoladex every month which did improve my pain but caused me great anxiety and hot flushes so was discontinued.
I have since had an endoscopy (which came back clear) and 3 a&e visits which brings us to the present day. Sitting on the sofa, currently tackling glandular fever, endo pains never failing to flair up and what I call the 'mystery' abdominal pain which is yet to be discovered. And that's my medical story...however I actually wanted to write this blog to communicate the other effects that chronic illness can have on sufferers which are your relationships, social life and career.
