Health Update

I know there are other posts I promised to do before anything else, but I thought I should update you all on my health and how things are going.
In this first half of the year, I saw a Rheumatologist, that didn't go so well and didn't make much difference with getting advice on any of my conditions. The medication for my POTS is working well, and I'm so glad I got this diagnosis, it helps a lot, I just drink some powerade, or eat something with lots of salt when I'm out and about, and start feeling weak and dizzy.
Since I've turned 18, I can now finally have some tests done that were being refused until I was 18. So when I have my next round of blood tests, I'll be tested properly for PCOS. To update you on that, I had to stop taking the contraceptive pill in February as it was making me physically sick, and stopped me menstruating all together. One of my doctors has put me on something that would reduce the blood to take during menstruation only! It kind of has helped with it, but it means I'm still menstruating every two weeks, having all the pains that come with it etc.
Also, now that I'm 18, I can be reassessed for Fibromyalgia, I'm hoping that in if I am diagnosed with it, that we can then find more ways to help with my aches and pains, and injuries.
My M.E./CFS started playing up really bad this week, which I didn't notice until I crashed yesterday, in the toilet! Do you know how much that sucks! haha
I had to call out for my boyfriend, as he was the only one in the same area of the house, I thought I was just sick at first, feeling like I had to vomit, then I got the symptoms I get whenever I crash, seeing colours all around, hearing going fuzzy, feeling cold but sweating really bad, and then I also started hearing things which was weird! Jeremy told me that I was as white as a ghost, including my lips.
I now can barely walk around the house to go to the bathroom, or get a glass of water, so staying in my brothers room tonight I think! Whenever I have a crash, I can also barely get dressed, do my hair, and even typing this is really hard!

Oh! And a month and a half ago I started B12 injections fortnightly to help with my 'brain fog' with my M.E./CFS and it has helped! I didn't realise until this last injection, and mum noticed it too!

Here are is a photo of me yesterday evening, after I improved a bit.
