UH OH

So I went back for my check up. And things have got worse again! NO FAIR!!

During the week I decided to start my singing up again, because of my health problems I had to stop for over  a year, Now was the time to carry on. I was feeling good and up loaded some videos on to youtube. www.youtube.com/kizzert123 I also started looking for bands, Hurrah, I had an audition on the monday.



On the way I started getting a twinging pain in my right side, it was gradually getting worse, but I just pushed through it. During my audition it started getting really painful, and for the whole hour I had to stand!

It was killing me, but I carried on, I done the best I could!

When I got home, I ate and went to bed, I was so physically exhausted that I fell straight to sleep!

At 1 am I woke up in the most unbearable pain, I was grabbing at anything, I wanted to scream, there wasnt anything I could do to stop it! It got all to much for me that I passed out!

When I woke up again, I was white as a ghost, and felt as if I was hungover!

My boyfriend drove me to my doctors and when I was seen, the first thing she said to me was 'God! You look awful!' Thanks love!

I spoke about the pains I had, and how everything had got worse since last time. She decided action needed to be taken and phoned the hospital, I have an emergency appointment very soon!

The pains since have still been bad, I've had days where I can barely stand because of it. Im on a constant rollercoaster. Always up and down!

Hopefully this gets sorted very soon!

But on the bright side, I've been accepted for ESA which is a benefit for people whos ilnesses effect there work. And i've also applied for a bus pass, I normally walk everywhere, but its become such a struggle!

But we shall see!!

Back to work and back to my future!

So after all the palava, I've been told i can return to work, YAY! My first day back went well ....... kind of!

I ket having little twinges throught out the day, then suddenly i had  massive shooting pain and i had to run to the toilet, i was bleeding alot, no fun at all!! For the rest of the day i was feeling awful! Finally went home, and went straight to bed, tummy pain and migraine isnt a good combination.

The next day i got up in a bad state, i felt poo. But i wsnt letting that stop me! I got ready and started walking to work, my journey is a bout an hour and i got half way, i suddenly felt really sick and shakey, i couldnt hold my self up, and i had to stop, ii rang my work and told them i culdnt make it.

I then rang my doctors and they agreed to see me straight away! I explained to my doctor what happened the previous day and that morning, she checked me out, and decided it was either gynae related OR bowel related, I was given a load of laxatives to clear me out, and i need to return on tuesday for a check up.

Nothing has improved, so we shall see what will happen when i return to my doctors!

They rang me!!!!!!

So the last time before I got all lovey dovey on you, I explained how I had to have examinations.

I was pretty nervous about ringing to get my results! BUT My doctor rang me!

I can not explain how scared I was, I did not know what to think! Every possible thing was racing through my mind!

I won't lie, I was panicking, They only ring you when they find something, I just wanted to break down!

My doctor explained what they had found nd how it effects the body, But it just went stright thrugh me i couldn't concentrate. 

It's called Haemolytic Strepococcus Group B (GBS)

Group B
S. agalactiae, or GBS, causes pneumonia and meningitis in neonates and the elderly, with occasional systemic bacteremia. They can also colonize the intestines and the female reproductive tract, increasing the risk for premature rupture of membranes and transmission to the infant. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, American Academy of Pediatrics and the Centers for Disease Control recommend all pregnant women between 35 and 37 weeks gestation should be tested for GBS. Women who test positive should be given prophylactic antibiotics during labor, which will usually prevent transmission to the infant.[6] In the UK, clinicians have been slow to implement the same standards as the US, Australia and Canada. In the UK, only 1% of maternity units test for the presence of Group B Streptococcus.[7] Although the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists issued risk-based guidelines in 2003 (due for review 2006), the implementation of these guidelines has been patchy. As a result, over 75 infants in the UK die each year of GBS-related disease, and another 600 or so suffer serious infection, most of which could be prevented;[8] however, this is yet to be substantiated by randomized, controlled trial in the UK setting and, given the evidence for the efficacy of testing and treating from other countries, it may be that the large-scale trial necessary would receive neither funding nor ethics approval. 

It finally made sense to me why I became so ill, nd had so much pain. It pretty much effected every part of my body as it was left to grow!

I did feel very angry that it went on for so long, when I was asking my doctor to do these tests on me for over a year, but said I didnt need them! Again I know my own body!

I felt so frustrated that they didnt listen to me! But I can't complain as it's now being sorted. I'm on medication to sort it, and i can see and feel the good changes in my body!

Turns out I didn't need the surgery! But we got the result in the end!
