Tablets

Lots of stuff going on... always lots of stuff going on..

I had some problems with the day centre i was going to because they started weighing people and pretty much throwing people out over a certain weight (20 stone) because they said their equipment.. hoists and.. get this Toilets couldnt hold over 20 stone! now we checked this and apparently a toilet can hold 40 stone but they wouldnt budge.. and now they have apparently sorted some of the problems out getting a commode etc.. it cant be that hard all my equipment at home goes up to 30 stone and over not that i am anywhere near that heavy!!

The DLA want me to go to Tribunal as they cant make a desision.. although my best friend who is deaf and has mental health issues has just been awarded high rate care i just cant work the DLA out at all.. the DLA Tribunal can take another 14 weeks i have been fighting since June this is all starting to get a bit over the top now.. well i suppose if they do award it i will get it all back dated. Also my Social Worker Financial lady who has been helping me so far has been told she cant come to my tribunal with me so it will just be me and my fiance.. which of course is stressing me out further.

Our central heating was broken for several weeks as we couldnt afford to get it fixed and that has really been affecting my Fibro. I have also had my Swine Flu Jab a couple of weeks ago.. I had a really really sore arm.. was really tired and kept throwing up.. it doesnt seem to have effected my Fibro that i have noticed but again this week i seem to have another bug which is really annoying i always seem to be sick and seem to pick up every germ going *sigh*

My Rhemotologist appointment was suppost to be today but i got a letter telling me he moved it to febuary which is really frustrating me as i had blood tests and everything so he would have results about my Vitamin D levels etc. Apparently all my blood results were fine except my Vitamin D obviously but they are better than before my General Doctor that i saw yesterday said that they were in the 50s; last time it was 30 something but it is still low.. i told her i had done some research and apparently Gabapentin can affect Vitamin D levels she looked in a book for like 30 seconds and told me that there was no proof of this *sigh* and said that in the last letter from my Rhemotologist that he was going to take me off it anyway and put me on Pregablin which is much better with Fibro anyway.. so we have started me coming off of Gabapentin and in about 17 days i will start going on Pregablin.. hopefully i wont have any side effects coming off the Gabapentin. I am a little worried as i know that the Gabapentin did help a bit with my hands so i am expecting my hands to get worse i hope the Pregablin helps.. something needs to help!

My General Doctor prescribed me another Vitamin D injection as well which i had yesterday and she changed the type of Vitamin D/calcium tablets that i have... dont know if the tablet change will make much difference... it will be interesting to see if my Vitamin D improves once i am off the Gabapentin.
