Good morning ladies.
Sparkle, it sounds as if you're feeling ok at the moment which is brilliant!! You've got the Vagifem so start it when you're ready, you'll know when you need to. When are you seeing the dietician? That'll be an interesting exercise, you'll be plagued for hot tips on here. You can be the MM diet guru.
(100% carrots - trust me I'm a doctor!)
The ECG showed up some anomalies, though don't know too much detail yet as it was a telephone consultation and GP called just as I had a garage collecting a car and someone else delivering a replacement, typical! She doesn't think I'm going to have a heart attack today so no panic
She's referring me to hospital for further investigation, first stop being an ETT. The chest X-rays showed it wasn't my lungs which is what I'd suspected, as the discomfort feels like it's my lungs. I'd thought I was brewing something. Bloods also need further investigation.
I've never smoked, done drugs, don't drink alcohol, always been slim, eaten exceptionally well, always been active and exercised up until the migs hit BUT of course my downfall is that the migraines have forced me to be sedentary for a while. I walk whenever I'm well but there's been little well time over the past years. I do unfortunately have family history of heart problems on both sides, though I took my mother for some sort of heart imaging test recently and it was said she has the heart of a person half her age, strong as an ox!! I don't suffer from health anxiety, thank God, but given the feeling of heaviness is constant, I would like to know what is going on. If there is a problem, it must have developed in recent years because I was forced to do the full 'is she having a heart attack' routine in an A and E only about 5 years ago and it was very healthy then when tested.
I don't think the palpitations are linked to the above they seem to be linked to the adrenaline surge before the flushes. These flushes are morphing constantly but are a million times better than they were in April /May when they started.
Machair, you and Sparkle seem to be having a similar bleeding pattern which is quite different to mine. I think you are both just burning out and must be right at the end. The follicles are clearly kn-----ed!! They can't even produce enough oestrogen to build an endometrial lining for you to have a proper bleed. The end is nigh!!
nearly50 - there is no justice in this world if a girl can't even eat a piece of cake!! New routine when you set the table; pot of tea, cake and a serving of Gaviscon Advance!! It's 140 days today but who's counting?!!
Have a lovely day ladies - I'm home alone until tomorrow night so am going to continue this mammoth ironing challenge. (Kill me!!) I'm going to find something to watch on Netflix as I'm trudging through it. xxx
