Mental and Physical
This week has been mental health awareness week. I suffer with physical issues; Ankylosing Spondylitis, Osteoarthritis and Fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia acts as a kind of amplifier, boosting the pain, and other issues. These physical issues really affect my mental health I get frustrated and stressed when I fail to do every day tasks. Currently, I have a problem with my left eye. Started off with floaters, and at the end of last year went blurry. I am awaiting an operation, that was due to take place, as I was led to believe, earlier in the year. I was then told that my good right eye needs to deteriorate before they will do any operation. Having a blurry eye is really reducing my enjoyment of life.
