So im thinking there isnt much else they can test now and i was now in my second week there (after being home for the weekend) I have to say the staff were just amazing seriously seriously brilliant all of them and in my opinion need a lot more pay than they get but hey thats a different debate
Now just as i thought things were ok and this hospital wasnt so bad a nurse comes round and tells me i have to shower in this stuff to stop germs spreading i look at the bottle and its like hibbi scrub errrrrmmmmm i dont bloody think so and even more so when she said i would have to wash my hair in it !!!!!!! so i end up sitting there crying ............. over a bottle of liquid i felt such an idiot but at the time it seemed such a massive deal (little did i know i would have a lot more to deal with) then the icing on the cake she tells me i have to wear these white stockings to help the blood flow in my legs .................. stockings that look like they belong to an 80 year old again i end up crying but put them on (they were actually quite comfy) now i felt like a right super model 28 years old shuffling about a ward in stockings , jammies, slippers and a dressing gown (move over kate moss)
So i have gotten over my little episode when the specialists come round to see me , i thought it was another poking and prodding checking my legs with the students and looking baffled like they done most days but no this was different
They sat down on the bed and started giving me the results of my tests it turned out i had the following so far
A B12 deficancy (which i knew and was the main reason i was in there)
Severe osteoperosis (very weak bones) which baffled me as i thought only old people get that , he went on to explain it was rare for someone my age to get it especially as bad as i have it which is -3.5 in the hips and -2.5 in the spine (boy didnt i feel lucky then)
A folic acid deficancy
and severe curves in my neck and spine (well that one was obvious) although they were not sure what had caused that as normally with osteoperosis the vertabraes collapse on top of each other but for some reason mine had curved and fused together
thankfully the brain scan was clear apart from where my bones leak bone marrow it had made its way up into the brain area and was floating about (to be honest im just glad they found a brain up there because there were rumours i didnt have one lol)
So that was that (so i thought) they now wanted to find out the cause of it all although aparently it wasnt going to be easy
I actually felt ok about it all i was just glad it wasnt all in my head although they were worried about my weight so i had to see a food sepcialist who put me on these protein shakes (fortisips) of which i had to have 5 a day
I was also put on a load of painkillers , anti inflamatories , calcium tablets and vitamins and was finally allowed home although this wouldnt be the end of it.
