Other medical problems

Well, as I've said before, I saw my doctor for the results of my x-rays. But I've already blogged about those. I forgot to put the other things in!

I had a Disability Support Pension (DSP) form from Centrelink for him to fill out, and this is basically what he put.

I have chronic anxiety and depression, with related panic attacks, sleep problems, lethargy, stress headaches and other fun stuff like that. I'm not expected to get better within 24 months, as this has been going on for more than 10 years with no improvement.

I also have severe dysmenorrhea, which is a fancy name for severe period pain. It incapacitates me for about 4 days per cycle and it's also not expected to improve, as again, it's been going on for about 10 years.

Fun stuff!

I'm falling apart! Haha. But hopefully, this will be enough to get me on DSP, which means more money and I won't be expected to look for work!

And that was all I had to say...for now.
