I now have an appointment fixed with Mr. Andrew Williams of the Pelvic Floor Clinic at 9.40 am on January 30, and have also arranged for a car and driver to take me to and from the appointment - the car is courtesy of the SVCS voluntary community service. Its an early start - we set off at 6.30 am.
Although it feels better having made the arrangements to see the CRS, I'm still baffled by some aspects of this condition. Most recently, yesterday I felt relatively recovered from weeks of pain and discomfort, but woke this morning with what feels like a severe perineal rash - the kind of thing I used to suffer from when using Diltiazem ointment, but I haven't been using it recently. Not only did I have inflammation in my perineum, but also in my eyes and ears, with a roaring in my ears with deafness accompanied by toothache and/or earache. These symptoms have receded a bit - it's afternoon here now - but walking is still very difficult and painful.
I've had these rashes before, without DLT, and am not sure what sets them off. Something environmental, maybe, but it's still a mystery.
