After struggling with ear problems all my life and having two surgeries for Cholesteatoma in 2008 and 2015, a recent flare up has caused months of pain that is unexplained and has baffled my consultants. Having this on top of my original ear problems and cluster headaches sometimes the pain can make days difficult. This is just a glimpse into what happens on a daily basis.
Me. Pain. Intertwined.
Days. Coping. Bad days. Flare ups.
People. Confused. Understanding Difficult.
Hidden disease.
Medicine. No effect. Doctors. Befuddled.
Decisions. Hospitals. Waiting. Pain.
Hidden disease.
Explaining. Constant. Tiring.
Symptoms. Unexplained. Words. Lost.
Hidden disease.
Tired. Exasperated. Threshold. Pushed. Sometimes. Beyond Limits.
Tired. Sore. Always. Hidden Truth.
Tired. Battle on.
Hidden disease.
People. Unconditional Love.
Caring. Trying to understand.
Hidden disease.
Pain. Intertwined.
Always there.
Nothing seen.
Hidden disease.
This is me.
