Hiya Kara,
Sorry you have had another bad week. I one of admire the dedication of three curries in a week! Like CLKD I have to watch a few several key ingredients now as I have a hiatus hernia.... So I can do cooked onions, but raw ones a no for me. Spices are a distant memory for me. I think it's a good thing to re- evaluate our diets, I have had to drop a few things, nothing I miss too much (except caffeine sob 😪 ) .
As for you kindly asking about my drs appt... Well,that week all hell broke loose. In the run up to my period I developed the worse pms moods I have ever been through. Broke down at the drs, I had the most severe and scary thoughts that were so shocking. She advised I had pmdd symptoms. And these moods were the utmost priority for me to sort out. Long story short. Have upped my patch to 100, can go to 125 if needed, to try to suppress my cycle, and have an option for anti anxiety meds for the luteal part of my cycle of needed.
This month, despite physical pms symptoms, my moods, though bad, were not suicidal in nature, so am optimistic I am on the right track.
BUT the sodding exhaustion along with terrible joint pain and muscle fatigue seemed worse instead! I swear you couldn't make all this up could you?!
So another drs appt (by phone) on 6th June to discuss this as I had to concentrate so much on my moods. A new low point...so bad fatigue wise my husband had to help me out of bed one day. And this week?? Am on a 7\10 fatigue wise which is fab for me.
Enough to drive a same person crazy... So not much hope left for me🙄. Mood wise better though, thankfully I keep a diary of symptoms to check for patterns. Will update you after appt.
Thanks for asking Kara, and good luck on clearing up your diet a bit to help the IBS, again, a food diary may help at times??
Take care xx
