Hi all
thanks for the replies :-)
Just back from the hospital now. They did an assessment, and based on that they did some blood tests. My d-Dimer result came back as 150 , and the guidelines for my age and sex is less than 570, so they were really happy with that.
They took bloods to check for infections too, and they came back clear.
Fiona -- its interesting what you say about the reduced oestrogen. I'm on HRT (3 pumps of oestrogel & utrogestan), but lately I've been feeling like I did before I started on HRT, very anxious, palpitations, really bad joint and bones aches. Does make me wonder if I'm not absorbing well anymore, or my own levels have dipped further, so the does is no longer enough.
The nurse said maybe I need to increase my salt a little bit ( I avoid salty things mostly, but I do eat shop bought bread which has salt). I worry about BP, which is why I am conscious of it. Damned if you do, damned if you don't, eh?
I said to the nurse and the trainee.. whatever you do, don't go through menopause!
