3rd November 2014

New day different pain in the legs today which to means it's the Dercums.  I keep thinking can my legs get any bigger?  How much bigger will they get before the skin gives (awful thought really), that brings on more risk of infections.  

Thanks to somone who on FB helped me look in to a second hand cyclo-ssage with any luck I should receive it by next week and will keep everyone posted on how I progress on this. Maybe there is light at the end of the tunnel so to speak.

I am hoping not to take the strong painkillers tonight.  Really hate taking them as I know you can become immune to them.  Plus it seems I take more tablets than food lately.  Anyone else out there finding this?

I will compile a list tomorrow of all that I take and what treatment I have had and what for.  It is too long to start that tonight.  I am also hoping to do some hand-made Christmas cards.

 I have added Phoebe the cat on my post tonight she has the amazing ability to know when it's a bad day and sits next to me to keep my warm.

I hope everyone is well and I am determined to publish my story so will keep trying.  More awareness to me mean more chance of better treatments and a possible cure.
