Thank you everyone for the replies.
Honestly, the last few days have been dreadful and to top it off the night sweats are worse than ever.
I am trying to calm myself down and focus on the fact that they don't tend to hang around if there's anything serious going on but it just feels like the waiting is forever.
Itwillpass my Dad is actually doing ok, he has a chronic form of Leukemia but they are monitoring him closely and he is on steroids. At the moment all is well so we are just hoping it stays that way for as long as possible.
Daska, big hugs it's awful and like you I've tried many things. I'm back on CBT again and have a session at 9.00am this morning. I'm also paying to see a hypnotherapist privately but judging by my levels of anxiousness this week, I don't feel that's working either. Although I know it doesn't just get better on it's own and I have to put the effort in. It just feels like with the menopause as well, it's all a bit too much and overwhelming at the moment.
Lyncola that's so awful, I can't believe your sister would say that. I honestly wonder what goes through some peoples mind and why they would feel the need to say such things. Even if you did think it you wouldn't say it. Still it sounds like you have an amazing doctor and that is fabulous. I have to say my HA has got much worse since my GP of over 30 years retired. I also had a fabulous lady GP at my surgery who I could see about anything and between the two of them they pretty much used to get my HA under control. I think they were just amazing doctors and I had confidence in everything they said. That goes a very long way for someone with any kind of anxiety.
Also can I ask does anyone else seem to wake at the same time everynight with a sweat? I seem to go to sleep fine then literally 1 hour later I'll wake sweating, go back to sleep and if I'm lucky won't wake again but sometimes I'll wake about 4-5 and then just be awake until the alarm goes off.
Honestly, I just want to curl up in a little ball and hide away at the moment.
