finally, an update for ya all :)

didnt realise it had been so long since updating my blog - 7 months!! oops!!

we moved back in august last year. 2 bedroom house with garden. but having major problems with stairs so we on council list for bottom floor flat. been unsuccessful 2 months in a row so i guess it will be 3rd time lucky- i hope!
 
well still going back n forth to costa with chest, but given the type of asthma i have its only to be expected.. 3 times in a week :( they really taken the stuffing outta me. doing much better tho still wheezy...

to add to my problems i am now type 2 diabetic coz of the prednisolone. my maintenance is 20mg but given the fact have been admitted 3 times this week am currently taking 40mg till next weekend n needing metformin to control my blood sugars. but on a good note, they weighed me in costa - lost 7.8kg (17.1lb) since jan 10th :D :D :D lord knows how i did it  mind u, especially being on pred!

had psych review this week. seeing my cpn weekly as well as having weekly grief counselling. i had yet another miscarriage at 7 weeks 13/1 then my uncle passed away of liver disease 13/2 :( now i find out that close family friend passed away 14/3, whats next i begin to wonder. had appointment with welfare rights last week n filled out PIP form - the new DLA for over 16s. its 40 pages long!! they wanna know everything dont they?! the decision tho, will take up to 6 months but i will continue to get my DLA till a decision on PIP is made. CPN did a supporting letter for it n i learned that i have a personality disorder as well as my PTSD, depression, schizophrenia and self harming tendencies. tho i can happily report no self harming episodes for a while now :) joined few support groups on facebook regarding my mental health which i feel helps me n i too can help others.

trying to learn new things n do courses seeing as i cant go back nursing. CVS are helping me do a stress management course as well as confidence building course n my key worker finding out bout counselling n psychology courses for me. i aint well enough to go back to work both physically or mentally :(
hugs to all xxx
