But been chronically ill at Christmas we dread chrostmas day we worry so much that we will let people down instead of looking forward to all the things above we dead and pray that we have the strength to get out of bed on Christmas day we pray we won't be in to much to enjoy our self's and spend time with family and friends. And the one thing we pray most for is not to end up in hospital or bed bound yes it's only one day but it takes so much strength and energy to just get up and get ready I only went to the pub for Christmas dinner and I was exhausted from it from the pain the sitting yes it was worth it but I was paying for it. We put a smile on our faces and day we are fine because we don't want to ruin our family's day we want them to be happy. We just want to feel normal and enjoy this on...

IMPORTANT POST not just fowlers syndrome

Image
This really has taken me a lot of guts to post this so please share as much as possible to tell everyone about this horrible condition and no matter what age you are you can have poor health So I want to tell you a bit more about me and my life fowler’s syndrome is just a part of what else is going on in my life right now. I have always had problems with my periods since I started them with heavy bleeding and horrible pain which at one point I would have to be admitted to hospital for pain relief every month. It came to the point where I had to have injections that induce a fake menopause to stop the bleeding and pain and this did work for a while but the side effects of the injections were horrible hot flushes , mood swings and just feeling awful and not like a women at all. The  in 2015 I started the injections again and this time I just kept bleeding so my gynaecologist decided to do exploratory surgery to see what was going on and to rule out endometriosis and to do a t...

Medication isn't all let's make you better medication

So like a lot of people with fowlers I am on lots of medication I have a clothes draw full off the stuff. A lot of people go oh just go to the doctor and get some antibiotics then you will be all better but believe it or not most of my medications make me feel so poorly with side effects like neasua , vomiting , dry mouth, constipation and insomnia and that's just to me ton the nicer side effects. Being on medication won't make us better over night and it may never make us better but it can help us feel more comfortable or stop us from dying and I'm not being over dramatic a few months ago I had a usual uti and over 3 or 4 days that turned into a kidney infection which then lead to sepsis I had no idea I had sepsis till I got to the hospital and was nearly admitted to hdu with a stupidly hight heart rate I got pumped full of medication through a iv and it did get very scary at one point it was messing with my blood pressure I kept vomiting I felt like death warmed up and...
