Hi
Sorry I have been away, I am just not doing too well
Things feel just awful at the moment, so much so that I was all set to see if perhaps HRT is the way to go.
I then read a lot more threads on here, and came across one from a lady called Eliza, who said her two sisters have been having a really bad time to
come off HRT now that they are in their sixties. So I feel conflicted again. I really don't know what to do for the best
I am so miserable with everything. On Sunday evening, and then again last night, I was sitting on the sofa and I suddenly felt
really dizzy and it felt like I was about to faint. I didn't, but it really scared me. I quite often feel light headed anyway.
Watching the TV, there is a commercial telling people about FAST, and the signs of strokes. Now I am thinking that I will just
have a stroke or heart failure, and because I live alone, no-one will find me. I keep tidying up so if I die I won't shame my kids!
So current symptoms:
Anxiety
Weak bladder
Dizzy
Aching in joints
Muscle pains
Palpitations
Light headed
Generally feeling crap
I just feel like my world is getting smaller, and I don't feel like me anymore. I fact, I keep having thoughts that this is the
end.
I feel really sad barbecue I always hoped that I might meet someone and have a relationship. That seems unlikely now. Wo would want to spend time with
me?
Before I freaked myself out, I was thinking that maybe the trans dermal gel looked like possibly a way to go? But there is so much to
consider, I get overwhelmed. Work has been stressful, I haven't had a lunch break for two weeks, so trying to get my head around all of
this too, I just don't have the energy.
I don't seem to get hot flushes either, so the doctor might just say no, so hard to know what to do next. Can anyone give me advice on how best to approach the
doctor? Our practice has three middle aged male doctors, and I don't anticipate getting a lot of understanding from them
Sorry to be such a downer
