Dear Diary,
Things have been crazy since I last wrote you many months ago, many care agencies have been involved with my care things have been quite difficult and stressful. My health has not been at its best lately I've been experiencing good days but as usual I'm so glad for the good days that I over do it and end up suffering for the next couple of weeks.
Got a letter from my Consultant Rheumatologist today to read him stating "that I will suffer from fibromyalgia ...long-term" was disheartening. I'm going to try and get better, sometimes professionals can be wrong.
However having this letter will help my case with the Disability Living Allowance Tribunal.
I had a fantastic time in London for the Carnival Celebrations and I was so happy to be surrounded by so many people from my culture it is nice not to be the minority.
I'm trying to keep it together mentally and focus on a more positive future with me being well, and achieving the goals I have set for myself, but I can only do this with God's help.
I'm starting to re-build my relationship with my family who I have been estranged from, so I noticed a change in my health when I did this as it was causing me much distress. It is so important to forgive even if you can't forget.
Yesterday I was quite saddened as I noticed 3 more spots on my scalp where I'm experiencing minor hair loss, and I have a lump in my throat too so I'm going to make an appointment with the GP to get that checked out!
I got alot of pain in my kneck and back at the moment so I'm gonna finish resting up. 23:34pm
