One Hell of a Start to a New Year

 Once again I wish that I could report better news regarding the covid 19 virus but unfortunately the world is still in one hell of a mess with lockdowns and restrictions and countries struggling to get infections under control. With all this going on its very difficult to get help with medical issues and problems and any non-life threatening treatment is out on the back burner due to staff shortages and high infections stretching the NHS beyond breaking point. The whole situation is really one big mess.

I myself have been through hell on earth with regards to my health. Not only did the clusters return in force due to having the vaccinations but I also ended up catching covid again which has left fatigue issues like you wouldn't believe. On top of this my neck and spine have become so painful its difficult moving around. I did get a nerve block down when i last saw my Neurologist which helped for around 3 -4 weeks but then everything returned worst than before. On top of all this I have ended up with several infections, the last of which has really knocked me for 6 and am still suffering with it now, A huge throat infection and tonsil infection that ended up with me spewing up blood every hour from 3 am till midnight and being rushed into hospital.

After a day on IV drips and medication to stop the sickness they allowed me to go home with antibiotics and other meds to continue fighting the virus at home and I can tell you this is the worst thing I have ever experienced. Sore mouth , difficulty speaking and constant feeling of weakness really gets to you after a couple of days. I am really hoping the medications gets rid of it soon but still early days . I do feel a little better than I did at the start but not much. I have tried to get on with things but just cant as I am constantly sleepy and drained. 

One things for sure, I have the worst luck when I comes to my health and if one things isn't causing me a problem I would think I was broken. Its become the norm to be in pain constantly or having to battle symptoms of some sort. I cant actually remember when it was the last time I experienced a day with now pain at all. I am praying that things starts to calm down with this crazy virus and treatments within the NHS start to pic up again soon as I am still waiting on the spinal clinic and spinal specialist plus 2 urgent MRI scans on my spine and neck to find out wats going on and why some days I wake up paralyzed down my left side of my body only to have feeling return several hours later.

There's not really much more to report on at the moment and I will write my next update as soon as I get results from these scans to see what's going on and what if anything can be done to rectify the problem. Hopefully i can get this infection shifted soon and not end up back in hospital as that's the last place anyone wants to be during a pandemic. What a way to start the Year! Happy New Years Guys ......
