In the last coupple of weeks I have had a mri with contrast which took 5 attempts to get the canula/needle in for the dye so was black & blue from that. Next day had to have more blodd tests after neurologist visit & took them 2 goes then so hands even more bruised. My veins keep collapsing when they stick a needle in. Next had a lumar puncture.spinal tap & they got me sitting up within 30 mins. Site bled, I have had back pain & migraines/headace for a week, went back & they admitted they had bruised my sine which is why I am so sore & infection in site. No happy at all. Now looks like I got to have endoscopy & gastroscopy as very low in iron & on iron tablets & every time they test it is lower.
I went out last friday night with some girl friends & proceeded to fall asleep, also had a couple of black outs where I just stare & dont know where I am or anything when I come to. Very scary. Was glad friend had picked me up as I wont drive at night as too worried.
Still surviving on pain killers & managing to work 3 days a week but it is making me so tired I am struggling to keep going.
Sorry for typos but having trouble with typing as my fingers are numb on left hand. Pain on left side, hat pains in back, headaches & fatigue & no balance so falling if dont use walker. Cant walk far as I get too tired.
Sorry for rant but I am getting really fed up with the never ending tests & then no answers. I just want my life back.
Very tired & fed up with struggling
