Update

There has been no change since the last time I blogged, or if anything, I've been feeling worse and worse.

I have always had an issue with my left hip, as I was diagnosed with hip dysplasia at 20 years old, and subsequently had 2 surgeries to try and correct this, but recently it's been hurting again. I've also always had significant weakness down my left side thanks to my hemiplegia. Saying all of this, I feel like my joints are starting to fail me. My right wrist, since February, has been feeling the strain of tendonitis, and both knees over the last week have been hurting around the joints. I also have been wondering if the nerve in my left leg (which was nicked 2 years ago) is starting to come back to life, as I've been getting shooting pains up and down my leg.

Yesterday was the day that I had to go back to the Drs. He completely disagreed with the previous Dr I saw, and told me to stop taking citalopram for now, until we can find out why my energy levels are so low. After feeling my tummy, and telling me everything felt normal, he ordered some blood tests to take place on 18th June to rule out around 7 different things. Whilst this feels like a small victory, (yay, a doctor listened!) 2 weeks is a long time to feel like this, and it's not guaranteed that they will find anything.

Along with this, thanks to the prodding and poking, my left hip swelled slightly and has been uncomfortable since.

I'll write again when I have the results. Thanks for reading x
