Maybe keep all your posts on one thread 'cos I keep getting confused ..........

Eat every 3 hours - keep hydrated - both may ease your symptoms.

Hi Sammas,

I am with you. Started new job all went well but my tinnitus got really loud in the afternoon kept thinking a migraine was going to hit, imagine that on first day. My right arm and leg pains started last night and still going this morning back ache. I have my period which is I think just under two week late but I feel 100 years old.

Keep posting I know where you am coming from and you just want to all go away me too.
Coil out Friday for me I have the worst spots all over my chin like I'm 16
Menopause spec next Tuesday night

I am trying to eat and snack properly and also drink lots of water (toilet all the time though)

Keep strong

Mazza

I had a GP that kept saying 'you are suffering with depression'.  At the 3rd visit I went in and said "Yes! I *am* suffering with depression , due to non of the medical profession actually listening to me!" can't remember the result of that though  :-\

Maybe try a Practice Nurse in the Surgery?
