Good morning ladies. Hope that you are enjoying the rather soggy Bank Holiday! Thank you again for your lovely replies! Hattie and Maryjane, I would love you to let me know about this Physical Therapist, are you able to message me, it used to be you had to have 100 postings before you could? Meno Lesley, great to hear from my "postmenopause pal"!!
Don't worry about seeing a consultant in London, mine was here in Dorset, and just feel so fed up that they are all so flippant, if it was a acute clinical condition, they would soon sit up. They have no idea about the mental health effect it has. I have absolutely no confidence any more, as I am terrified that I will make a mistake at work, as I can't concentrate, everything is through a haze of "weirdness"!
I think I was predisposed to the pelvic floor issue, as had pain in my early stages of pregnancy, everything stretching, and during the births, found it difficult at the last stage, and had to have episiotomies with both.
Yesterday, all the genital area felt "tingly", and I had constant spasms in the pelvic area, really weird, like contractions, and it made my head even weirder! Then I get the pelvic ache, and my left buttock aches like hell, and more worryingly, I feel a "click" there when I walk!
My digestion is awful, feel a strange buzzing in my stomach, and grumbling after every meal. I have tried every recipe known to help IBS, bought every herbal product, to avoid chemicals, and nothing really works!
I do have a womb, and the Evorel is oestrogen only, as the MK said that the progesterone can cause nasty side effects. I have been on it 2 months, is that too early to get an improvement do you think?
We have just moved, and the neighbours are lovely, all about our age, and whenever I speak to the women, I gab on about menopause, they all look at me like I am an alien, declaring that they had no problems, great!! Thank God for you ladies!
When I saw the MK last, he did say that he may be able to surgically release the pelvic floor, have any of you heard of this?
Finally, have any of you found that you cannot work because of this misery, or is it just me? Please let me know!
