So, it's been pretty much 2 years since I was last admitted to hospital and I'm acutely aware that I haven't written much in that time, so here goes. I've been on pretty regular medications since then; Aciclovir, antiviral; Voriconazole, antifungal; many antibiotics, antibacterial; Ferrous Sulphate, iron deficiency; Prednisolone, immune suppressant; Sirolimus, immune suppressant; Romiplostim, to multiply platelets; GCSF, to multiply neutrophils; Hizentra, to up my immunoglobulin G levels. It's been a long battle, and I'm never going to be to in the clear, really. I think that's something that has really hit me recently. I've been trying to work towards this impossible goal of being drug free. I was drug free for a while, but I've realised now that this is impossible. Being drug free before probably shouldn't have been an option. It meant I slipped off the hospitals' radars for a while and therefore my health slipped into a slow decline...
This blog will mostly be focused on the considerable amount of my life that I've spent in hospital, and my strong opinions on this.
