    There are some degenerative autoimmune conditions that are not easily detected as they like to play hide and seek.

    I had a handful of years of when I was having to have the same tests over and over again as nothing seemed to work for me. I then had an ATOS medical appointment of when we had Gordon Brown as our P.M. and it was that Dr. whom wrote to my GP to test me specifically on certain tests. What followed was that I was diagnosed with two degenerative autoimmune conditions.

    Life since then has become tough as I can no longer do the activities I once had with great love is now done in short bursts and no where near to what I had.

    But I have not allowed it to stop me completely (including concerts, motor shows, camping, raves etc). As I have made sure where ever I do go they have some adaptions to suit me such as a seat or lift/ stair rails etc.

    You will have moments of when your feeling abit like your old problem free self to a sudden major hit of ailments in any area if not all

    which feels more like carry a humongous amount of everything and you just can't move.
