Was it really a year ago?

Life has calmed down a little, although things have recently got busy again…. but thats another story.
I have realised that I haven’t posted on the Toogood blog for nearly a year!! (all but a few days).
The last post was about my battle against EDS so I guess I had better start by finishing that one off…..
Between my last post (July 2009) and Christmas I saw a consultant a number of times, had blood tests, CSF tests (don’t have a lumbar puncture – I had concussion and vertigo symptoms for 8 days following mine and couldn’t stand for nearly the whole time!) had multiple sleep studies, and a CT Scan and the final result was……
….Nothing! I have been advised that the quality of my sleep was below average and that I had lots of symptoms, none of which were strong enough to form a diagnosis. I have been told that working shifts is not ideal and that I need to keep an eye on my work patterns to ensure that the symptoms do not return.
So after all this time and all those tests there was a bit of an anticlimax I’m afraid.
It wont be too long before the next update comes out as I have loads to write about!!
