Lockdown Day 55 or 254,699 !!

Finally got to sleep last night, but it was not at all relaxing ore refreshing, Mixed in with my normal bouts of insomnia I am really getting fet up with not ever having any energy or feeling refreshed when I get up. With my thinking while asleep i have come up with a new theory (letting me think is always a bad Idea...) Before I got married my Dad was ill, his main symptom was complete exhaustion and one hell of a bad mood, sore throat and feeling basically awful all the time. This went on for a very long time and after a whole host of tests that came back clear and negative it was decided he had ME (or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) My Nephrologist has already suggested I also have this and having done a little research this morning I am starting to agree. My fatigue is worsening whilst my anaemia results have improved so I should have more energy rather than less. I also have had horrific headaches for the last few weeks, a sore throat and every joint aches. My sleep pattern has been constantly horrific (except for the night after I had ny Colonoscopy where I slept like a log - but still woke up feeling exhausted)

I have also read that diagnosis is hard as there is no test for this (Many Drs are not sure it really exists)  Plus at the moment getting an appointment with my GP is impossible!! I also know that the tests they will do will show up my Kidney issues and my diabetes and my GPs usually give up once they get an explanation! Even if I explain I think this has been going on since before I was diagnoses with either problem...It would also explain my dizzyness as that is another symptom and I am pretty sure I have not had vertigo for 2 years as the Cardiologist I saw believes. It would explain so much if I can get a GP to agree with me.

Mikey and I managed to get another 2 lots of his maths done last night and achieved 100% on both! Proud Mum time again, but we sill have some more to do this week and I am very aware that his spellings have not been looked at once! 

Today for Mikey started with a disaster,,,he has lost a tooth, a big one for once! As in not a front tooth!! From the noise I thought he had been murdered and it took a massive Mum hau to calm him down and stop the panic. So all I need to hope now is that the Tooth Fairy is still working and has suitable PPE to not break my isolation!!!

Not sure what todays photo will be, I'm just using photos that bring me happy memories...This one was Mikey's first full day before he was moved to SCUBU. He was such a quiet, peaceful baby at this point and I was getting angry at Drs who dared to suggest my perfect baby had anything wrong... but he failed his hearing test as he pretty much slept through it and shortly after he was whizzed off (with Andy I think) and came back with a cannula fitted and shortly after was moved into ITU (NICU I think) for extra care and I was moved into a private room so I wasn't surrounded by Mums and babies. My trainee Midwife was fantastic and looked after me so well...)

How Do I keep Going?

 This week I have totally reached the end of my very frayed tether. I am more exhausted than I have felt for months and I am also feeling isolated, un-needed and unwanted. |Mikey is settled at school, is doing well and making new friends and finding new interests. All I do it listen while he frantically searched for reasons for him feeling f=depressed. When he does come up with something you can guarantee that there is nothing I can do to cure or solve whatever he is worrying about. He also has new people he can talk to so I am certainly no longer needed. I've also had my latest lot of blood tests done. I can't remember my access thing for my results so I can't look at them. My memory is failing even more than usual and I hate this. I'm also in constant pain and I can't do anything that is part of my usual way of living. I really just want all this to end. I have no energy, I can't sleep and even cooking something simple leaves me feeling dead on my feet. All I

Lockdown, Day 90

Definitely thinking backwards today!! 10 years ago Andy had to take me to Hospital for monitoring as I couldn't feel the baby moving and a friend in Scotland (who was also pregnant) told me to get checked! I spent all of the Friday afternoon on a monitor and having blood samples taken. The original plan was for me to go in on Sunday for my induction so I was sent home as they were happy my bump was doing OK and there was nothing to worry about! That was my first experience that I remember of how tired hospital tests make me so I was not in a cooking mood! Dinner ended up being KFC and a tub of Ben & Jerries as I had decided that the bump couldn't put that much weight on in 2 days!  Just as I curled up with my tub the hospital called me and told me to go back the following morning as my blood tests had shown a problem. She did tell me what it was but I honestly can't recall what she said! The plan at that point was to do my induction as soon I arrived, so as I thought I

Worried

 We are now the day before Mikey starts at The North School....all they have done today is worry me even more that this is the wrong place for my son. I know all parents are protective - but he took so long to have and I really do not trust them to look after him properly. We have been provided a timetable which states that his first lesson is PE - Yr 7 parents have been told not to send PE Kit in tomorrow.... Also, he is in group 7x3....but the timetable has him in 7x2. If they can't send the right timetable how can I trust them to look after the most valuable thing I have? The chair of Governors has also sent a letter about the school joining the Swale Academies Trust. From what I have heard about this on local news I do not want my child at a school under their control. How can I get him out of there? Since I started writing this |I have e-mailed the Head asking why everything is so disorganised the day before they start and have said it will not help kids with autism as everyth
