I have never posted anything before, but I feel so lost.
Since 2011 my troubles began - aged 41. I have always had problem periods and was on the pill since 14 years old. Aged 38 I had a mirena fitted and my world seemed great. No more heavy bleeding (7days, 3days off and then bleeding again)
But by 41 I started to notice changes. Painful breast - nothing found. since 2012 I have been visiting the Dr with extreme tiredness and brain fog. Itchy skin, sinus problems - things I'd never experienced before. Heart palpitations, which caused me to visit the hospital!!
Pelvic/right hand stomach pain, b12 deficiency, more migraines, sweats and so much more.
Each time I was told I was too young for the menopause.
Finally last October I had coil removed to see if this caused the problem. No - still had pelvic pain - but instead my world collapsed!!! Anxiety and depression through the roof!! No periods returned.
Paid for private bloods and FSH came back as 181 - informed I was POST menopausal!!
I'll shut up now, but suffice to say since April ive entered the world of HRT. I've yet to find something that suits me. I cannot tolerate the progesterone. Waiting to see specialist to have coil refitted, but now have thickened lining, so won't refit until I see specialist - appointment not until February 2019!!!
I have a demanding job, but I cannot cope currently and have been off sick for 2 months.
I hope that this is not my life, as I don't want it anymore!!
