Feeling almost as bad as before

So I've not had a good few weeks. Week 1 was great I finally thought I was beginning to conquer this. Was out for my walks everyday feeling more energetic than I had in a very long time, still not quite back but pushing myself to be better. Towards the end of week 1 I started to feel really tired so I didn't go for a walk the following day and gradually just felt worse and worse. Tuesday of the second week I started getting awful pains high up in my stomach. These pains were so bad I had to get injections to stop it. The doctors think it could be gallstones but I don't know, I'm waiting on a scan for it.

The Culprit
The next day was my birthday, my mother ordered me my favorite cake and asked the baker if he could make it gluten free as this is my first year as a coeliac. Bad choice. Within 15 mins of eating it I was having the worst pains in my stomach and everything that follows.









That was a week and a half ago and I am gradually feeling worse and worse, I don't know what is going on. I have had headaches for the last 4 days where my head and eyes feel so heavy, fuzzy and dizzy it's making me question if there is something really badly wrong. I'm not sleeping till 2 or 3 o clock at night and last night couldn't sleep until 5 in the morning sweating and tossing and turning all
night. I don't know what's wrong with me, I've been so good with my diet I'm keeping a diary of everything I've been eating not leaving anything out and I have another appointment with my dietitian next Wednesday, I'm just hoping she can help me because I don't know anyone else who will.

I was with the dietitian I had been referred to publicly yesterday and she was awful, absolutely awful.
I knew more than she knew herself and she really was no help to me whatsoever and had never even heard of the ataxia symptoms. It annoys me so much that I messed up on my birthday and that I can't seem to get on top of this. Really has me down in the dumps.

Until next time.....
