Other Illnesses

Dyspraxia isn't really an illness...

I have hayfever, mild exma, and a few other alergy problems.

Dyspraxia is a neurological medical disorder definately not an illness.

I agree with you

I get really bad hayfever but apart from that, I'm good.

I always find that from october till feb i always pick up the bugs, colds and viral infections and they take a lot longer to get rid of. i wonder if lack of sleep and resting during the day in between activities have anything to do with it. Should i get the flu jab or not this winter? But all i know is that there's medical literature out there that says i should as my stomach problem is long term (i have had it since feb) and then i read on another nhs site that i shouldn't as it would make my stomach problem worse and with the feeling knackered on top. But anyway that's quite sometime away so I am gonna see how it goes at the next hospital appointment hopefully they'll find answer. But the strangest feeling is that my sugar levels never go down, even though i am practically eating one meal a day and instead of feeling hungry i feel the opposite like i have eaten a sack of potatoes and yes i'm loosing a lot of weight. (two stone in two months completely unintentional and when I do finally eat something i feel even more knackered.

I have an undiagnosed chronic condition which presents itself like ME or MS. It's as yet undiagnosed so hard to tell what it is really. It tends to exacerbate my dyspraxic symptoms. I use an electric wheelchair for longer distances and navigating doorways with my dyspraxic brain is amusing :p

Funnily enough there is research going on in links between MS and Dyspraxia . Been trying to track the papers down at the mo . Might be worth looking for !
