Kath - 2008

I have had trouble with my left hip for years. I had slipped a disk at work lifting heavy boxes it got better but I would put it out on occasions if I wasn't careful. Then I was involved in a road accident and was whip lashed and a few months later I was involved in another accident at work and was whip lashed again my neck has never got better as it turned Arthretic. I was prescribed Viox and it gave me my life back I was able to go to work and do most of the things I loved to do

When Viox was banned I was devistated all my joints are bad now I get tired when I try to do anything and feel as if I have flu most of the time. I am in pain all the time and I don't sleep much. My family are upset by it because they don't know how to help me so they stay away. I am trying to take my life back by gettin involved with fighting for the rights of disabled people. All I can do is try and keep occupied to try to take my mind off all the pain that I am in. I pamper myself as much as I can. I am hoping to get my yard addapted so that I can buy a scooter and get out and about. Arther has made me a prisoner in my own home but I won't let it beat me. I have looked for a cure for a long time and I have now accepted that it is not going to happen so I am concentrating on making a life for myself.
