life in the darkness

The other day, I went to the doctors, regarding joint pain. Because of my ehlers-danlos sydrome, my shoulders are now hurting, as well as my knees and ancles. That is why at times, like when I’m in airports and when I’m in Lourdes, I use a wheelchair. It’s easier for me to navigate round and also it doesn’t cause much pain. It took a while to getthe diagnosis of EDS. At first, they wouldn’t diagnose it and ignored my joint pain. They tried sending me to physiotherapy for years, but it did nothing, except perhaps, strengthen the joints, but that was all. I’ve finally now been validated by a doctor. He understood my EDS, as his daughter has it. He was able to tell me what I already knew, although I didn’t say, that it would get worse as I got older. That the joints would become more unstable and painful. I guess I’ll just have to accept that and accept that in the future, I will have to rely on the likes of Co-codamol or other pain relief more than I used too. I don’t like that idea, but oh well. I guess that’s just what will happen. I just want to thank that gp for doing the best job I’ve seen in a long time! Listening to his patient! In other news, Robert is coming over in April and after that, he is getting an engagement ring! In 2 years, there will be wedding bells! I hope!!
