well my appointment is now on Thursday, today has been a horrible day, stomach felt rough at work so I have been taking Imodium just to get me through! im so fed up with feeling like this, all the Ibs symptoms, heavy feeling in the bottom of my stomach, the nausea that comes over me in waves, reminds me of when I was pregnant, getting up in the night to spend a penny, cant remember the last time I slept all night, dry mouth, night time cough, feeling tired especially late afternoon, aching legs,..... coming on every month, really heavy, the stomach cramps..... are all these symptoms related to peri-menopause? Im already on HRT patches, so surely this should be helping, if it is related to peri-menopause does that mean the patches aren't working or do I need stronger ones, im so confused this is my third visit about this to my Gp and im getting nowhere, last time I was told to take galvescon, as it was all related to access acid, im not sure what to ask for on Thursday but do want to get some answers and try and sort my life out.
