A brief update:

Symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) have finally ceased. However, fatigue is also a notable symptom of Fibromyalgia which requires re-managing. There are also a few serious symptoms of Fibromyalgia that have arisen since the flare-up in August that needs time to be treated. I’m now focusing on these symptoms and sorting through Arthritis issues aggravated by the CFS.

The Cortisone injection I had before Christmas has brought much relief to the Arthritis in the L4/L5 area. Unfortunately, the Sacroiliac Joint pain returned five days after the injection. This pain is managed most days with Holistic and Topical treatments avoiding further issues with medication reactions. I have an appointment with my spine specialist in early March when the next step in the treatment of the Sacroiliac Joint will be organised.

Living with three chronic illnesses has not been easy, but knowing I have ongoing support makes a huge difference to both of Norm and myself. Be assured there has been a significant improvement in my overall health.
