Over the week things became much worse with my legs and pain levels. In the end, after much deliberation, I went to the local A and E on Thursday, where I was thoroughly examined and told I needed several weeks respite as I was so tired and at the end of my tether in terms of handling increased pain.
My bones are so damaged and deformed that all it takes is the bus experience of a week last Weds, and I'm facing considerable pain and a ridiculous loss of the very limited mobility I usually have.
Negotiation and compromise are great skills at times like these and through them I began to realise that I had to listen to my body and rest. I'm slowly, very slowly improving, thank goodness. But the muscle spasms and 'electric shocks' are taking much longer to deal with. I'm not sure how much more rest I need. Like usual my diary is full but I'm prioritising Uni - although didn't go today.
I guess this something that can't be rushed.
On a brighter note the doc gave me 7 days of sleeping tablets as I hadn't slept for 4 or 5 nights. They are low dose yet weirdly I've been having very mild hallucinations with them. They've not been at all frightening and each time I've realised them for what they are and known they're not reality. I'm sure having a short course of them in my situation is a good use of them, but I'm so glad I don't need them all the time.
