Tinkerbell...bless you Hun I know how you must be feeling I felt like you a few weeks ago. I was going to my GP at the point of collapse, so depressed, nauseous (like I was going to vomit any minute) awful stomach ache and bloated. It was all depression! I had restarted my Oestrogel but it wasn't helping. It wasn't until I got on an antidepressent that I started to pick up. Firstly it was Trazadone and now Dosulepin my old AD. Like you I am very sensitive to meds. I have now restarted Oestrogel to see if it helps my recovery, but I am now postmenopause. My perimenopause was really up and down too, but I realise now in relation to you if your periods are still regular therefore still producing oestrogen and progesterone HRT can upset the balance. What the consultant said about taking nothing for now might be a good idea to see where you are. Meantime get back to the GP and demand psychological help CBT or councelling and an antidepressent would help. Have you got friends and family to support you while you're struggling?

Thank u for understanding x I have been hiding how I really feel tbh but I broke down to my friends yesterday.  I am due to work tomorrow but dont think I will make it. The pain today is terrible. Burning limbs and terrible stomach pain. My hubby has gone to visit his mum with the kids.  I couldn't go. So havin a day on the sofa. Fed up watching life pass me by. Will try to get a gp appt tomorrow with a gp I know is good but will be at least 2 weeks.if I could even get on top of this pain (I have fibro and the hormones  seem to be making  this worse) X

Be KIND to you!  If your body is poorly, then rest.  You have a break from the family for a while, try to doze and let it all pass over.  This will pass!

Tinkerbell, so sorry you are suffering in this way.  Please try to see a specialist under your own steam if you can.

Keepgoing, you are so right, there are some dangerously bad doctors out there who definitely need to be struck off.  I could do a better job than some of them.

I think the way Tinkerbell has been treated is a load of pants.  I hope there are plenty of doctors reading this forum right now. 

[Tinkerbellj]

Means a lot ladies thanks so much xx

It is so frustrating when I know there are doctors who do a good job.  I would like to wrap Tinkerbell up and take her to our practice to get some proper attention

So sorry to hear how you are feeling. Nobody can feel exactly the way that you do, but there are plenty out there who empathise. Have you thought of contacting The Samaritans? They are non- judgemental, confidential and are available 24 hours a day. They are excellent at listening to your fears and worries and can help you when you are feeling helpless. They don't judge or give advice, but can help you with your feelings and emotions. They won't cure you symptoms, but may help you get your thoughts in order. Good luck. X

Ok so I phoned my practice nurse who had been concerned about my bp and had asked me to update her on my hrt appt. I relayed the whole.conversation word for word and she was appalled.  She said even if it is correct to come off everything she wasnt exactly helpful or sympathetic and at the very least i need something to help deal with the pain and not just left hanging! So she made me an appointment with my own excellent gp who is impossible to get.....on friday horray. I feel so much better finally having a medical person acknowledge that I am  in physical agony and thay I may have pnd. I have had two good days so probably better off hrt at the minute to be honest but then I also got teo full days in bed thanks to hubby and granny so helped enormously x

Great to hear Tinkerbell! Good old practice nurses....save the day again. Let us know how you get on...good luck!

[CLKD]

Let us know how you get on.  Now make that list?

[Trufflecat]

Sounds very promising. Good luck

Could you have fibromyalgia?  you describe pain and tiredness.  I was diagnosed with it after having my daughter.  Just something to consider xxxx

[Tinkerbellj]

Jazz I have fibro have had it since I was 24 so think the hormones really arent helping! Going to concentrate on getting thay pain under control and ask for x ray when  see gp on friday then in two weeks will discuss with them about them giving me bio identical hormones for perimenopause depending on how I am getting on with taking nothing. Never had lower back pain like this before...... dont really want to concentrate to much on the fibro cuz experience tells me gps will leap on that as causing all the issues and send u packing.fibro is nasty hope u r ok xxx

Are you able to take pain relief for the low back pain?
