After being given the frame for a week i continued to fall.. 11 times continuing to cover myself in bruises, i feel like i am turning myself into some kind of strange form of bruised artwork but the bruises are mainly on my arms and legs so clothes keep them covered so people cant see them.
I saw the physiotherapist again who was concerned that i was still falling but suggested that i continue using the frame at home where possible. She also contacted the "Fall Prevention Team" at the local hospital who are coming out to see me later next week.. Apparently the come and assess your home and suggest things to help. The physio also told me that i will need to use a wheelchair outside when i get tired otherwise i will fall and possibly break something i have to wait to see the Occupational Therapist. The FPT should be able to push me forward alittle in the queue hopefully.
She also advised me that because of the nature of Fibromyalgia with fatigue and the way it effects joints and muscles that she thought physiotherapy wouldnt really help me at the moment and has discharged me at the moment.
I still havent gotten my disabled space outside our block of flats, it has been two months now since they had all the information and "started work on my case" apparently they just found out that their disabled logo for painting is "damaged beyond repair" and that they have to order another one which will take another week so we will see what happens!
I have also had another Rhemotology appointment, he sent me for some blood tests, including allergies, triggers of IBS and some others. Also i am being sent for a nerve electrical test to see if my nerve endings are working or not, need to wait for an appointment for this.
