Little bit of time between posts.

It has been a little time between posts.
There has been a little bit going on.
I have had to go and see a Psychiatrist.
My Income Protection Insurance Company directed me to go and see this Doctor for him to assess me.
Wow, it was a marathon 3 hours.
I was not prepared for the 3 hours as they did not tell me.
Total crash after it. Took me a few days to get back on my feet.
So after fighting my way back, I then had to get my blood pressure monitored as it was all over the place like a mad woman's breakfast.
I had it fitted and then went home to return the next day to have it removed.
Well, I lasted till 1am with it on.
Every 30 minutes the machine took my blood pressure.
Due to the pressure placed on my arm combined with my fibromyalgia/M.E. my arm swelled to twice it's size and was so painful.
To cut a long painful story short, after many Epsom salt baths, constantly using a T.E.N.'s machine, using pain relief and not sleeping due to pain for a few days.....................my wonderful acupuncturist moved the fluid and the fibro lumps.
The arm took about 4 days to go down.
So all in all, it has not been a bed of roses, but it could always be worse.
I have to see an Occupational Physician next as directed by the insurance company.
I guess they are just doing their job....... but geeeeeeezzzzzzzzz. I want to be back at work. I want to have my old life back.
They just don't understand................and to tell you the truth..... I wish I understood this disease and could fix myself.
As my mum says......"Don't sweat what you cannot change"
