"Things at Hogwarts are far worse than I feared"
9 years ago
I'm sorry to quote that pink-frilled frog of a hag, but that particular quote seemed rather apt.
So, this is another update journal on my health condition, so if you're not interested in that kind of stuff, feel free to skip over this journal, I really don't mind
So, a few months ago, I posted that I had fibro, and I detailed a lot of my current symptoms... Well, upon going to an appointment with a psychiatrist to monitor my antidepressants, I was asked to get a few tests done, just to rule out some of the stuff that my GP may have missed, or didn't have the ability to test me for.
And it turns out that, at the moment, it's quite likely that the fibro was a misdiagnosis...
An MRI of my brain and spinal cord found a number of lesions across both structures, which explain my memory and concentration issues, likely the pain, and the mobility issues as well...
I have Multiple Sclerosis...
At the moment, we're still trying to determine whether it's the standard Relapsing-Remitting MS, or whether it's the progressive degeneration version, because I haven't really had an "attack" per se, but I've been getting worse over time. So this, well... I'm struggling to come to terms with it. I'm slowly making progress, but, you know, it's hard...
I just wanted to let you guys know, since so many of you have been amazingly supportive of me, for which I'm truly, overwhelmingly thankful for
