Well i have had problems with my joints all my life. in the last 2 years i really started to struggle and then on the 1st Jan 2008 everything just failed me. i  am in constant pain, can barely walk, cannot dress myself, write, barely use a computer, havent been to school in the past term (well i have managed 3 1/2 days) and i have done nothing but sit in this chair because it is all i can do.

BUT

after several different appointments and many different places, i have a diagnosis.

aswell as my flat feet, Severe Hypermobility, and double jointed fingers, i have been diagnosed with scheuermann's disease.

and aswell i have been diagnosed with FIBROMYALGIA - a syndrome that causes widespread pain and fatigue.

i have to take 1 Amitryptilene tablet a day to help me sleep and help with the pain.

so i have a problem thats going to change my life. but ill just have to wait and see, who knows whats going to happen.

so im kinda down, sad and in lotsa pain at the moment
