Hey, I've recently hurt my back which is causing agony in my hip whilst I'm moving and sat still. I'm looking for low energy recipes that are anti-inflammatory to help my body heal a bit quicker and easier. Being stood up for too long in the kitchen is difficult, so if anyone has any advice, any recipes they can share, that are quick and simple to make I would much appreciate !!!
After lots of back and forth with my doctor who was trying to insist I had to see rhuematology for a diagnosis (they've already rejected me once stating that they do not have a specialist service for EDS patients), we finally landed on a clinical diagnosis and to wait and see if rhuematology can do anything to help (they won't, I can't believe they've even bothered referring me again). But otherwise, it's official, I have received a clinical diagnosis that is now on my record !! War is over !!!
I'm still processing everything, it's nothing new to me, I've suspected this for years and was just looking for that final confirmation, but to finally have an answer to so many of my problems is a lot to process emotionally. I'm very happy to finally feel believed and listened to etc but it comes with a mournful "what if I didn't have these issues". It's like a final 'you will live with this for the rest of your life and have to manage it for the rest of your life' and that's a lot. But like I said I'm happy for the fighting to all be over for now and I can take a little break from the excessive doctors visits and days and waiting on hold. Nothing has wholly changed at the end of the day but it's good to have validation and know I wasn't making it up !!
Here's to working out how to tell my employer (who I don't think is going to be very happy about the news) !!!
