Licence To Ill.

This entire blog seems to be taken up with health updates of late, genuinely feel like I'm falling to bits here.

As regular readers may know I've had a few (major) bouts of psoriasis the last few years which my doctor reckons is stress related (which kinda makes sense), the last of which flared up round about the time I was sorting out Cassidy's college and Social Work situation meaning I've spent the last 10 or so months with about 70% of my body covered in what looks like dragon scales that bleed when I move.

Which is absolutely brilliant when coupled with that pesky Autistic body dysmorphia that a fair few of us have.

Add to that the psoriasis actually went into my ears which had left me almost completely deaf at points which being a sensory seeker (I like loud noise and colours, sue me) has been an utter nightmare. It basically feels like being trapped in a body that bleeds when you move and with a head that feels like a padded box.

Sensory deprivation at it's finest.

 

How I look and feel right now.

  

Anyway I finally got an appointment to get my ears syringed last week so excitedly went along looking forward to finally being able to hear again.

Unfortunately it appears that I'd got an infection in my right ear so they could only do the left one and with that they made me a doctor's appointment and sent me on my way.

Oh and yes I could hear better by the way, back to about 80% which was rather nice although I'd not realised how loud my MP3 player was up till this point.

 So had my doctor's appointment where I discovered there might be a wee infection in both ears so he swabbed away and said call us next week to get the results.

Being me tho' it's never that simple so this morning I found out that (thanks to my psoriasis) my ears actually have not 1, not 2 but 5 different infections (maybe more as the tests aren't complete yet) so that's me about to start a (new) course of 2 separate sets of antibiotics and a couple of sprays in the hope of sorting it out.

Oh yes, and absolutely no booze whilst I'm on them.

Well at least I'm not banned from watching dodgy 70s Eurohorror too.

So suffice to say I'm getting a wee bit annoyed at all this now.

Thanks for listening.
