Hi everyone.
I found this forum and think it's a good idea for me to connect with people experiencing similar things and could offer and happily receive advice and guidance.
I had ketoacidosis at the beginning of September and was hospitalised for 2 weeks. The 1st week being in intensive care. I went into a coma. I cannot remember how it began and what happened. All I remember is not being able to breathe, feeling my soul float away and sk.elne asking me if I wanted them to brush my teeth!
Apparently when at hospital I tried to run away and they had to sedate and intubate me.
I woke up absolutely terrified and it was very scary.
When i became a little more with it the nurse looking after me told me that as soon as they got the rube out to put down my throat I got violent and told them I'd shove it up their rear end. Totally out of character for me.
I did have a "experience" whilst I was comatose. I got told I have to grow old with my boys (10 and 15)
I have neuropathy too. I'm badly affected in my hand and feet. It's gorribly painful but the medicine management team said i shouldn't be on the dose I am unless I had cancer!!!
It's horrendous and frightening and I am thoroughly frustrated that I can no longer do all the things I could do before September. Everything takes so long now.
The dwp have REDUCED mu PIP despite me sending them the change of circumstances as things are so much worse
They decreased it by 250. This means I only have 150 to spend on food for me and my boys. I have appealed but don't hold out much hope. My mental health is taking a battering having only just become more stable with my mh.
