Changed estate agents last week, we are selling my mums bungalow - the original ones were getting a bit slapdash - no feedback on visits, heating left on and door not locked properly. New one starts next week and today they sent a professional photographer round. I was supervising of course. Took him an hour and a half! Rearranging things, getting the best shots, making a video, sending up a drone for aerial shots. Let’s see how this lot do.

In some ways, it was good that the reaction was so quick and extreme in that it was easy to identify the cause.

For the first time in many months, today I managed to take a leisurely bath, without the sense of panic/anxiety creeping in, and me being in a desperate hurry to get back out, and always an unsteady struggle getting out. I cannot explain just how terrible I have felt, during the worsening episodes, and if someone described suffering them, I would find them very hard to believe. I've suffered them for 11 months now, with them continually rearing their head, at the very slightest provocation, becoming more frequent, and always ready to strike.

During these 11 months, I have numerous times invited help from the medical professionals, doctors, 101, and even spent a night in A&E, without them finding a cause, or a fix, until last Tuesday. On Tuesday, unable to cope, I made an emergency appointment with the specialist kidney team, at the hospital, or rather I asked Av to - I was unable to speak due to an episode. They couldn't find a direct cause, but luckily invited a knowledgeable doctor to take a look, which just happened to trigger an mild episode, which he recognised straight-away, and changed my usual meds.

Since taking the revised meds - no more episodes.

Great news. Terrible news that's it's taken so long for a diagnosis, but it looks like the only way is up now.
