I'v been putting off writing this post, because it is quite a negative one and I don't like giving or sharing bad news. You may have noticed that I've only posted once in the last two months. It is because I have been unwell. Throughout the second half of December there was a dramatic decline in my health, and it hasn't improved much since. I was unable to go to any of my January exams and spent the majority of my Christmas holiday in bed, in a lot of pain. I don't usually get severe pain with my M.E. so I knew something was very wrong with me.
I went back to uni one week later than planned, and stayed for three weeks. During that time I didn't manage to get any work done, and only attended one lab session on campus. I am now back at home. Although my leg pain has largely subsided, I am still very unwell and mostly unable to leave the house.
Yesterday the paperwork went through for me to become a part time student. But I don't think that this will be enough. I need total rest, I can't even get up and down stairs more than twice a day at the moment. I'm certainly not well enough to attend/catch up on one lecture a day. (Which is what I would need to do, to keep up with and catch up on all of my lectures.)
Anyway I just thought I would keep you all updated, I didn't want to write any other posts before explaining the changes that have occurred.
