appointments and sore throats

I am finally going back to my daycentre after their health and safety dept realised how stupid it all was. I cant believe i havent been not going for so long and its all been for nothing.. i have been sent a complaints form by my social worker to fill in which i will do shortly.

I have had a sore throat for the last three-four weeks and have been very sleepy i am not sure why i dont know if its fibro related i usually have sore throat with my fibro but not for this long.. my doctor has upped my dosage of my Pregablin tablets a few weeks ago they seem to be helping with the pain. I havent been going out much.. also we have had snow so i havent been going out due to risk of slipping on the snow with my crutches.

I had a phone call from a Rhemotologist Occupational Therapist and she has refered me to lots of services.. a rhemotologist physiotherapist.. also to see her about my hands and to see a clinic for exercises.. a specialist about my ankles and feet and a few other people at least someone is doing something. I am still waiting to see my Rhemotologist i have an appointment in a few weeks as long as he doesnt cancel it this time.

We have put in an order for a motorability car which is going to come out my Disability Benefits as of March i believe when we get the car. If you have higher rate mobility then you can use the money to get a car with tax.. insurance etc which is going to be very handy for us as my fiance is changing jobs so he will lose his work car.

I am getting better at using my wheelchair when i am out and about its no longer hurting my arms after short distances although i still get tired but i take breaks.. i assume i will get better over time.. doesnt help that there are gaps between using it i suppose i suppose i use it once or twice a week.
