Easier said than done I know but here's a little story for you that may get you to think twice about dismissing things.

Most of you know that I was pretty crook there for a while and then I fell pregnant. Got through the pregnancy and now 9 weeks later...... I have had constant horrible headaches.. my excuse,lack of sleep and hormones. I keep having little dizzy spells and I have become more confused than normal. I am very forgetful and really just thought it was tiredness thanks to a bub and a 9 year old. Then on Saturday something went a little funky with my vision while I was out shopping with G. Starting seeing all weird and wonderful colours.. all blury. Again, put it down to tiredness etc. Sunday jd noticed that I had a burst blood vessel in my eye (yes jd is still here and didnt go fishing). Was a little annoying but nothing else really. Woke up Monday and my eye was really sore and the blood has spread. So I went to the doc and the next thing I know I have an appointment with an eye specialist. That appointment was today and little did I know that this appointment could potentially change my life.

The specialist has given me drops to help clear up my eye but he ordered blood tests. Who would of thought for an eye anyway. The reasons for the blood tests........... what's going on with my eye (it does have a name but I can't remember the exact word sorry) is a symptom of something else going on inside me. There are a few possibilites apparently but the main suspects are.... chrons disease, athritis, blood disorder and brain tumour or some sort of pressure on the brain. The specialist is being very cautious in telling me what's going on (makes me more suspicious) but he wants me to take it easy. I go back to see him in a weeks time but if anything changes I'm to go straight to hospital or back to him. He thinks that there is some level of athritis going on which could explain a few things but he is waiting for the results. I told jd that i was going to the shop but I didn't. I was sent off for a scan of my brain. (sorry manda for not say anything). I get the results tomorrow. I havent said anything to jd and I wont be until I know what the results are. I really dont want him to worry or stress out. I need him to be well rested to look after bubs and miss g.

So everyone please...... if you think or feel that somethings wrong with your health then please PLEASE get it checked out. Sometimes the simplest things can be symptoms of other things.

love to all,
