After being urged to make use the 24/7 doctor's advice service provided by Benendon, which I subscribe to but have never made use of, I spoke to a doctor. He said testosterone may not relieve all the symptoms I am experiencing and questioned me about any pain I may be experiencing, like back pain. Yes I do get back pain, but it is rarely severe, attributed to poor posture and kept at bay by regular visits to the chiropractor. He said I should see my GP and discuss the possibly of Fibromelgia. I researched this condition and whilst many of my symptoms are similar, I do not have the pain they describe. This got me thinking that I have never sat down with a doctor and discussed what I am experiencing, for example, how exhausted I feel and the insomnia and how it has worsened since having a virus earlier this year. I wake up in the night feeling discomfort throughout my body, sometimes connected with bowel activity ( IBS). Sometimes, my legs and arms feel like lead. I have neglected household chores, as they seem like a mountain to climb. Sometimes, I do pull myself together to do chores, then feel exhausted. I rarely go out now. I have pulled out of the choir I sing with as after just half an hour I feel exhausted and the thought of performing is too much. I have managed to keep my lessons going, but they are only half an hour long. Would love to audition for a play in the amateur dramatic society, but realistically I'm not well enough. It's hard putting a bright sunshiny face on when you feel crap. I had an abusive phone call from a so called friend as I hadn't been in contact and had forgotten their son's birthday. I can't be dealing with that. Sorry I am rambling. I hate going to the doctor, particularly as many of the symptoms are vague and inconsistent. They only have a short time for each a appointment. I have a fear of everything being dismissed as depression. I do feel low when I feel ill, but when I feel better physically, then I feel bright and bubbly. I had clinical depression as a teenager. There is a difference. However low I feel the happy me is still there. Would a visit to my GP be of value and what do I want to achieve by going? I don't know. A good night's sleep would clear my head. I would value some support. I had a lovely personal message but can't reply until I have 20 posts.
