Hello there,
I couldn't think of a great forum name so hello, I'm nicci. I'm 46 and in a bit of a quandary. Within the past two years I've convinced myself of alsorts of things. I have dementia, I'm losing my sanity, who is this woman living in my body, in my home and with my husband
(cheeky mare!!!) I was ready to drag myself to my GP and ask for a personality transplant. Either that, valium, or anti depressants because something had to change, I was struggling to cope with...well,......me!
One of my newly acquired mad skills is that I can growl
I can answer my husband in a seething growl...so he says. If he's using the car for work and I've got on a bus, I've ended up a county too far before realising where I am. (I got off the bus and cried)
I haven't had troublesome sweats for a little while but can remember standing in the freezer storage at work ( minus 28 degrees) before I spontaneously combust or out in my garden in the dead of a winters night almost naked, having peeled off wringing wet nighties and hair still wet just to cool down. Beggar the neighbours I nearly melted.
About two years ago I went on a bit of a daft one and got so emotional I just quit my job. I did intend to go straight to my GP and give the poor soul the task of having an answer to my 'what the hell is wrong with me?' Question but didn't. I suspected or presumed I'd get a script for anti depressants and didn't bother, instead I've been trying a bit of a soul searching and alternative or holistic forms of self help, not as successfully as I might have hoped. Taking prescription drugs would have got me back on track much sooner but I think I see a light at the end of the tunnel now. I've arrived at a point where I figure I'm diabetic, menopausal, both or have just completely lost the plot. At least I've narrowed it down to just those four things. Me and my GP might be able to start and look for some sort of answer in the few minutes allowed us
So that's where I'm at. I look forward to finding my way around and getting used to the forum. Even if I'm not on my change...(although I can only think of a malaria fever that could produce the sort of sweats previously experienced) Iwill have gotten to know folk so when my time does come, you'll already be used to me hanging around.
