I started a College course at the beginning of October in Health and Social Care so that's been tiering me out quite a bit! I have to go to College 3 days a week and then School the other days so of course, the RSD doesn't like it unfortunatley lol! All I ever seem to do now on a weekend is collapse - it's sort of like my body says it's can't take anymore and kinda shuts down!

The Course at College lasts 2 years til i'm 16 so i'm hopefully that i'll be able to cope with it and be able to do all of my placements. We have to do 50 days of placements during the course. My first ones in a caring home at the end of November for 2 weeks. Thankfully, we aren't able to do a lot of the physical stuff because of our age and the teachers have been really supportive and said I can sit down whenever I have to.

The RSD and Dystonia is still basically the same. My Doctors and PTs are wanting to try Botox to see if that will help with the Dystonia but i'm not sure if I want to at the moment especially seeing as though I didn't react well to the blocks - guess we'll have to weigh up the pro's and con's!

How are you and Starr doing today? Hope things are better! Is that Starr in your profile pic? If so, she's gorgeous!

Take care,
Ali
