So this is my first post and for you to get to know me better I thought I'd tell you how rubbish 2013 has been.
In January 2013, when i was 15 I was rushed into hospital. I had been very ill all over Christmas and even spent most of that day in bed. I was in a this hospital for 3 days and they couldn’t find figure out what was wrong with me. I then got rushed to a children’s hospital 45 minutes away from home. I had several tests such as a endoscopy and colonoscopy, and lots of blood tests (which made me look like a druggie with all my bruises) and I got told I had Ulcerative Colitis. I didn’t know what this was and had no clue it would last the whole of my life. I was put on several different medication and it took until April to kind of balance it. I was in hospital for 15 days.
In March i was on my way to a One Direction concert (don’t judge me) with a friend and we went to get a quick bite to eat. The next thing i knew I was lying on the floor, it turned out i had a fit. I bit a slight bit of my tongue off and there was blood everywhere so I got rushed to hospital. I got told i couldn’t go to the concert and they would contact my local doctors. A couple of weeks later i had an EEG. It showed i had Juvenile Myclonic Epilepsy.
In April i was on 3 immune suppressants, which meant it was very easy to get ill. I ended up getting shingles, which it’s kind of like a form or chicken pocks, it is very itchy and i have scars on my back from where it didn’t heal.
They tried to heal my shingles my putting me on medication, however that medication reacted with the medication i was already on and gave me kidney failure. Your kidney levels are supposed to be around 40, mine dropped all the way down to 352. Although they didn’t treat it, it luckily went back down. I was in hospital for 7 days.
Recently I got admitted to hospital again for having an infection, doctors had no idea what this infection was and i had so many tests as i was getting worse and worse each day. My neutrophils had dropped to 0.3 and they are supposed to be between 4-7. In the end they found out I ha Epstein Barr. This is like a form of Glandular Fever. I can’t get medication for this, it just makes me even more tired than I am.
