After a very uncomfortable few days my throat and oesophagus have finally settled down.
On the 14th April I popped into the hospital for an eye test to check for Keiser-Fleishcer rings, an indicator for Wilson’s disease. Apart from having to have my pupils dilated for a few hours after (blurry world) the results were negative. Initial frustration led to relief. It’s frustrating not knowing what I have, but to get wound up and wishing you have a disease isn’t the correct frame of mind to be in.
I’ve now arranged a follow up appointment with my Consultant on the 9th May. Hopefully he’ll go through all of the results gathered over the last 3 months and come up with something interesting.
I’ve also written to my GP requesting a referral to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital’s Liver Unit in Birmingham. Unfortunately, due to me living in a different country (Wales), my GP has to put up a case to get funding from the Welsh Assembly Government in order for me to get seen in England. It’s sad to see yet another hurdle on top of the long waiting lists.
To top it all off, I have to go through another Endoscopy and possible banding on the 13th May. Mustn’t forget to chase the ultrasound scan appointment which I have a feeling the Registrar has forgotten about scheduling.
On a good note. Initial reviews of the new Star Trek movie are very positive. I can’t wait to watch it at the imax London on the 7th of May.
