Not Good
Apologies to all my friends and followers, wondering where I am and why I have not posted any new pictures for over 6 months.
You may recall that I hurt my back in September of last year.
I thought I had the condition under control with medication and exercise.
However, I started to encounter a range of strange symptoms, such as dizziness, loss of power in my arms, loss of taste, double vision etc.
Some of these the doctors attributed to drug side effects, so changes in medication were made, but did not improve anything.
Eventually I was admitted to hospital for a series of tests to try and diagnose the problems. By now, I was unable to walk and also losing my voice and swallow function.
I was eventually diagnosed with Multifocal CIDP, or Miller Fisher Syndrome. You can read about it here:
Treatment has started, but I have been told to expect a recovery period of 6 months.
So I am afraid there will be no heels, and no partying for quite a while. Please keep in touch and I will let you know when I am near to getting out again.
