So much has been going on that i am probally going to get the typists equivelent of writers cramp from typing this!

I visited my Rhemotologist who did some blood tests and also descided that i should be put forward for an electro nerve test because i have been feeling alot of numbness, i had the appointment come through whilst i was on holiday so i had to reschedule and havent recieved the new one yet.

I have seen my GP for the results of the blood test originally a month ago which had only partly come through at that time showing that my thyroid levels were very low so i have been put on thyroid medication. I had been suffering a handful of symptoms previously which i had not known what they were linked too and apparently they are all linked to thyroid problems. However even with the medication these problems seem to be increasing but i know that the medication can take a while to kick in (Very Dry mouth, ALOT of Hair falling out, Dry skin)

I saw my GP a couple of days ago for the rest of the blood results which also show my Vitamin D and Calcium levels are still very low even though i have been on AdCal tablets for 4 months!! Although apparently both Thyroid problems and Vitamin Defiency of this type are both common with Fibromyalgia. The rest of the tests were clear i believe. I have to have some of the tests repeated in the next two weeks to see if some of the new medications are working.

I had my disabled logo painted on our parking space today, it only took them four and a half months, my fiances theory is that as today is April 1st that they waited for the new financial year. I am not happy that it took so long. I have also been advised that they are going to write letters to all the other owners/tenants advising them that that although the parking space has a disabled logo in it, that it is still legally the property of me and my fiance as shown in our deeds.

Our holiday went very well and i enjoyed it alot. We saw alot of sights whilst we were on holiday but i paced myself quite well in Cyprus tending to go out one day and then resting the next also being very careful what we did. We managed to hire a wheelchair in Cyprus which was good meaning that i didnt have to walk all the time. The bottoms of my crutches broke half way through my holiday so we had problems trying to get replacements. Cyprus isnt very good for disabled people to be honest there was hardly disabled toilets and slopes and we spent half a day looking for a disabled shop on the island when my crutches died. I think if we went again we would wait a few years as i am sure that Cyprus have to get up to scratch soon being members being members of the EU!

We organised help from the airport both ends, we could not fault the british side, someone came and meeted us from where we dropped the car off with a wheelchair and pushed me to check-in then through customs and into the departure lounge and then when the plane was ready we were called on tannoy and buggied to the terminal. We had arranged seats with extra leg room which helped with my legs, although it still took me a few days to get over the flight over there.

On the way back someone pushed us to check in but then we had to go find them.. which wasnt easy and the they pushed us through security and through to the departure lounge and told us they would meet us at a certain place to take us to the terminal.. well they never showed up and we had to make our own way there with alot of bags.. medical equipment and me in a wheelchair and boarding onto the buses no one pushed me down a ramp like they said they would it was very very steep and lost control and ended up going sideways into a railed wall.

Back at the English side of course it wasnt to bad although they had one man dealing with three disabled people on a buggy, we arrived back at about 2am so it was very later but he seemed very organised.

The landing was very bumpy and hurt me alot, its still hurting me now a week later so its taking along time to recover!
