Keeping a strong mind during physical health difficulties.

Since November 2020, I’ve been experiencing physical health issues, on top of the mental health issues.

Early November, I collapsed at home after suffering from dizziness periods and was taken to the royal hospital to be checked out. CT scan came back clear, heart trace came back clear and doctors didn’t know what it was. I was sent home with tablets, which did nothing.

January came around and the same thing happened again. It was groundhog day and all the same things happened in hospital, with no answers again. So back home I went and kept feeling like I was having a stroke on a daily basis.

February comes around and a 3 collapsing episode happens in a local shop. Back to the royal hospital, with further tests. Migraines was the answer. I never suffered from them but 4 months of daily and solid headaches took its toll and was the cause of my collapsing.

New tablets and changes to my exercise and (touch wood) I’ve not had a bad episode in a few weeks, but this brought on another physical health problem.

I’ve suffered from perianal abscesses before, but hadn’t had one in over 2 years and thought I was over them. Apparently not. So back to the royal, again, and surgery was needed 2 weeks ago to drain it and remove the tissue that caused it.

When I came around from the surgery, I noticed swelling in and around my testicles. I pointed it out to the surgeon, who brushed it off and told the junior staff to refer me to Urology.

2 weeks later (today, 20/04/21) and I’m back in the royal having an ultrasound on my testicles. Uncomfortable and sore, the urologist, Dr Alli, admits there is a issue with my right one and the infection from the abscess hadn’t been treated right, leading to what I can only describe as black inner thighs, that need looked at with my GP, asap.

Called the GP surgery after leaving the royal, to he greeted by the receptionist who cheekily told me the GP’s don’t do call backs after 11am and to call back tomorrow. I tried explaining this was urgent, but no, her lunch break was due.

So here I am, with more physical health problems, adding to my mental health state and I’m trying to stay as positive as I can, as well as dealing with other issues as well.
