In 1983 I was diagnosed with panhypopituitarism with a multiple malfunction of the pituitary system.
In 1992 I was sent for an Magnetic Resonance Imaging scan of my brain. I travelled up to Sydney with my Mother with great fear and anxiety that the cause of my panhypopituitarism was due to a brain tumour.
In April 2011 my inability to cope with my moodswings, fibromyalgia, depression meant that I had admitted myself for professional care at Mirrabook, Shellharbour Hospital Mental Health Services. I needed to re-establish a balance of chemicals in the brain and develop the ability to reset my system. It is like shutting down a computer that is sluggish and not working properly.
My brain functions, Obsessive Complulsive Disorder, addiction to researching meant that my brain just couldn't cope when my insomnia caused a manic phase. I was put on Zyprexa for depression and Lamatrogine for mood swings - medications that help me to moderate my moodswings and reduce my Asperger meltdowns. I was sent for an MRI scan of my brain whilst a patient.
