Hello,
I wanted to update my situation. Had gynaecologist appointment today with supposed menopause clinic. Had male gynaecologist. I explained all my symptoms:
Panic attacks
Anxiety
Tingling crawling skin
Fatigue
Acid reflux
Painful joints
Lower back pain which is excruciating
Pelvic pressure
Frequent urination
Lows moods
Shorter period cycles etc
Hot flushes.
And what did I get 'no not peri'..... my blood work doesn't show it he says.
He says if he thought I was Peri he'd put me on HRT.
I tell him I'm definitely peri. He says my periods are normal as long as they are coming in set pattern regardless of cycle length then it is ok!!! I swear I could have strangled him.
He said I can do another hormone test on day 3 of cycle.
I can go back on birth control.
I can do nothing and come back for review in 6 months!!!
I tell him my back Pain is really bad and I'm certain it's peri. He asks have I had ultrasound of abdomen-I say no so he sends request for that too which could take months to get.
I explain my grinding joints and stiff fingers and he still not listening.
I swear it's so frustrating!!!
So I guess I take birth control or anxiety meds. I'm so scared because a few months ago I couldn't get out of bed the anxiety was so bad and now I can get out and about but I can't work.i get too nervous. I know I need something but I reacted badly to anxiety meds so I'm petrified. I don't want to be like I was a few months ago.
I'm just so sore and tired of all this. I need to get better for my daughter. I don't understand why I'm having it so bad. My mom sailed through this according to her. Maybe I feel it more because I'm a single mom and have nobody to talk to.
It's so upsetting when your not heard properly.
I need to get through this.
I just want some happiness back.
This sucks.
