As oestrogen levels drop muscles may become lax = aches and pains.  Have you taken pain relief on a regular basis to ease symptoms.  Once the investigations are over you can relax.  Do you keep a mood/food/symptom diary?

Oh Lisa, I'm sorry I missed your post I  see it's from a couple of days ago. How are you today? Are you able to rest up while you wait for the tests or are you having to work.  I think the even the worry about the tests themselves can really take it out of you. Look after yourself and post whenever you feel like like it. We'll be here

Hello Lisa 1966.

I've just noticed this thread and wanted to send you best wishes for Friday. This time in our lives can be so distressing and difficult to cope with.

Wishing you well and sending hugs.

I too have just noticed your post Lisa,
I'm so sorry you feel poorly, hopefully everything will be ok.
I have to have regular liver scans, (which I think I'm due one)
I've got an autoimmune disease which is attacking my liver, so have to go to hospital
for regular check ups, and blood tests. I suffer with fatigue caused by it.

Hopefully your kidneys will be ok, and all this is meno related.
Keep us informed, try not to stress too much...

Stress and worry can cause horrid symptoms all by themselves. I do feel for you.

Hi Lisa, how did it go.  Did they give you any indication of problems or do you have to wait for a follow up appointment.

Fingers crossed for you.
