Dotty - no hrt yet but gp did talk about patches but she wants to see another cycle. However it is all falling together now, as had a period on holiday and was very depressed, to the point of ringing my CPN from Spain! And then period stopped and we were climbing mountains and swimming in the sea and getting up early to watch the sun rise over the mountains. Its like all or nothing!
CLKD - eating has been an issue for me since I've been depressed/anxious. Tend to not eat at all in the day, if im home alone, then eat family meal at night. I know this is not good but im going to try and eat little snacks more regularly. Going shopping in a bit and have a look for low calorie snacks, other than fruit, yoghurt and cereal. Also buy some de caff coffee. And going to eat breakfast now, which I never do. Ill have a look at naps website too, thanks
Hurdity, re migraines yes son takes sumatriptan, he's just upped to 100mg but I'll try an 50mg next time I'm off. Was bitten camping late May 2017, rash appeared within a week. Was well initially but when to the gp who prescribed doxycycline high dose which was horrid and was very poorly for the whole of June (can't recollect most of it) ended up in hospital 3 times. But all tests have come back negative for lyme, still have rash and a little one appeared in a different spot about 3 months in. Left knee however has never recovered and painful/swollen my left thigh has been swollen for two months And both get worse with excercise And you did right to be treated as not all cases involve the nice bulls eye rash. Funny one lyme though because i was so ill but it's not really recognised like you say especially if your tests come back negative but the tests are not conclusive.
Thanks for all the support and even managed to tell husband about anxiety and depression last night (id been hiding it all from him) which feels such a relief. I suddenly feel less ashamed of myself as now know there is a reason why I've been like this.
