Hello to all , I am so pleased that I have found this forum as i feel like I'm going a bit crazy .
Sit tight here's my story .
I'm 42 , I have been getting weird things happening to me since about August 2015 just after I recovered from a bad cold .
I noticed that my saliva was foamy and I was aware of it in the back of my throat , it felt like post nasal drip. Some mornings I have to spend ages clearing my throat . My throat mucus seems really thick , stringy and glue like. I'd put this down to a virus or allergy . Pollen and dust does seem to make it worse I've never had any allergy problems before .
My sinuses seem to be constantly pressured and feel inflamed but not blocked. Air conditioning really bothers my sinuses where it never bothered me before .
My eyes seem so dry and sore. I can't see my screen properly at work ( been to opticians ands wear reading glasses ) I take eye drops but it hardly makes a difference
My mind seems fuzzy all the time and I find it difficult to concentrate at work . My memory is appalling whereas before I'd consider it good , I actually have to rely on my husband to remember things so things must be bad .
My body feels like it's shaking inside not externally or visible it's really wierd . It's like I'm vibrating ! I thought it might be anxiety but it seems different although I do worry about things a lot more
Night sweats come quite often but not really bad thankfully
My periods are still regular but are shorter and a bit lighter , they last about 4 days
I sometimes feel sick and nauseous
So far I've been to the doctors it seems like they haven't a clue. Blimey surely I can't be the only woman to have these symptoms in their practice ! I've had my sinuses checked with a ct scan with no problems found , I've had standard run of the mill blood test done which found I was low on vit d , so I supplement this .
I thought most of my problems were to do with allergies so I took antihistamines but my eyes dried up so much it became unbearable . I stopped and they have gotten a bit better .
It wasn't until I went to an allergy clinic and the consultant just mentioned in passing that my hormones could be responsible for my thick mucus.
I am at my wits end , it seems that I might be in the peri stage , just need some reassurance . Thanks for reading this far , sorry if I've run on a bit
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated xx
