Hello meno friends,
I know that you can't answer my question, but before I rush off yet again to the doctor I'd appreciate your thoughts. First, I should say that since all the peri-stuff started 3 to 4 years ago I have suffered from health anxiety. It got so bad that I've been on escitalopram the past three months and thought I was getting better. Dr says I was/am depressed. Also, previously about two years ago one Dr suggested I had fibromyalgia as had moving about pains everywhere, costochondritis and the pressure points. I've always dismissed this as I thought it was meno. Also, have to admit that at one time or another have had the symptoms I have at the moment before.
I've not been too bad HA-wise the last month or so. Have been having very bad stomach-wind-IBS issues but got Dr to look at (or rather listen to) the gurgling and was told it was normal for ladies of my age, poss hiatus hernia. It comes and goes as does the early morning IBS-d. I think it's food-related but have not worked out what yet. Oh and have fibroids.
Now have been very stressed lately due to the referendum (we live in France so result will affect us, no idea how yet). In fact, current flare-up/ whatever probably started last Friday (24th). It's also the time that I would, if cycle anywhere near normal, be having a period, but have only had tiny spotting since December and nothing now. So currently have been having pains in stomach/ gut area that move around, upper/ lower/ front/ back, bit like the ovulation pain I used to get but not had for ages, feel really tired, bad sleep (waking at 5am), lots of aching joints and muscles everywhere, the fibro pressure points hurt, ribs hurt like costo, and have sensations on skin like being ****ed with pin, moves about, one minute in arm, then in finger, then in feet, nose or torso.
Sensible head (and Mr BB) say all these symptoms could be due to stress, are peri-meno symptoms, could be a fibro flare-up and are also in the 1 in 10 category of side-effects of the e-cit. Even now I have written it down it seems logical but I will still post the thread as HA-brain is saying it something dreadful.
