Always has bowel and gastric issues, and various unexplainable pains . Sometimes so many aches i would think i must have cancer spread all over.
In 2015 i developed a number of issues in quick succession. I collapsed and was diagnosed with benign postural positional vertigo. Bppv This comes and goes and i still have a degree of visual imbalance
I was unbalanced for months but there was something else. one of my feet dragged then both feet felt numb. Sometimes numb to the knee. I developed a kind of Raynaulds syndrome and my feet went blue and painful if it was cold and my fingers to a lesser extent. My mouth dried completely up at night and i used to lay trying to squeeze saliva out to ease my mouth which was like a cardboard box.
I was eventually diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy mainly small fibre type.
My bowel motility seemed affected, motions loose and my stools went yellow. I was later diagnosed with PEI, pancreatic enzyme insufficiecy and have been on creon for a few years. I get weird pains and aches but scans show nothing , Bloods always normal. Five years ago i was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia which has been very stable for five years. more recently diverticulitis and chronic and acute gastritis of the stomach and duodenum. I have refused the pain killing drugs and just take panadol. I enjoy every day am positive and just bought myself a treadmill for my 70th birthday, Im doing 2 plus kms a day and around 6.5 km an hour.
I wont let myself get negative, too much to do. Also planting a desert garden as i am cactus crazy.
