I’m nearly 42 and since age 38 I’ve had lots of symptoms. They have got worse over time, I’ve got two young children and just find my symptoms overwhelming. How conclusive are blood tests? For the past two years I’ve had blood tests in Dec 2020 which show thyroid is fine and gynaecologist has just sent a letter saying hormone levels are fine. To list a few of my symptoms : Bad crippling cramps, Itching or burning skin, very sore breast, Hot flushes, Mood is low tearful or irritable ( really bad before period just want to be alone), bad pms, Insomnia ( most of the time waking in night or wide awake a week before period), junk cravings, Weight gain nausea, reflux, waking at night to go to the bathroom and achy joints. I just don’t feel like me. I tried yasmin earlier last year For about 6 months... but it didn’t help
He’s suggested I go on qlaira to manage period or ovulation pain. I’ve just started it and noticed this thread. I really appreciate that you all are sharing your journey... so grateful.
thanks so much x
