Hey Toria , you have been through a lot like me i had 3 different appointments with specialist but not much answer for my health problem , the GI doctor ordered ultrasound for upper abdominal pain and breath test for SIBO i already told her i did it less than a year ago any way im not satisfied the minute i leave their office i feel like i went there for nothing . I got you eating what you want mean a lot im like you i gave up eating so many foods i wish one day we might get a doctor who can solve the puzzle .
hey goodness lots going on still:( Let me know how your Ultrasound sound goes for your spine and xray. Finally you are seeing specialists it's been a long wait. I bought a perimenopause book and it states Vit D is the Director of our hormones so its must vitamin to take.
I've all of sudden keep getting swollen glands and flu! Bloods showed infection and saw the Dr today! He said its an reoccurring virus! No antibiotics needed. Made an appointment with another Dr for next week as my ears hurt so much!
Hi, Toria! Its certainly a never ending journey were on, sweetie! Lol. I thought my facial pain, dizziness and ear pain would end once I got all my wisdom teeth surgically extracted. No such luck!!!! Ive still got it, even after a visit to an ENT with an MRI of the sinuses. And all the GP wants to give me are antibiotics. Now, Im having trouble with ankle pain and swelling. Absolutely no energy at all!!!! Oh, the joy!! Sending hugs and prayers! Kim.
Oh Sandee, the ear pain is horrible!! Ive gotten teeth pulled, steroids, antibiotics. Im at a loss!!!!
Hey Toria...
MANY of the menopausal symptoms are relentless; I still don't understand how in the world our mothers got through this tsunami in ONE piece, and with their sanity intact! Suffice it to say, they obviously didn't have the things we are PRIVY to today! That being said, I send hugs and get well wishes to you, my dear! Be well, my menopausal sistah!
hi Kim
thanks for replying....do you get colds and sore throat too? I keep getting a cold every month and bloods showed virus/infection apparently it stays in your bloods for up to 8 weeks!
I vitamin D of 15 is very low and will cause a whole list of symptoms, anxiety, depression, stomach issues, joint pain, fatigue, hair loss etc.... definitely need to take D3.
Omg, Sandee!! I constantly have a red, swollen sore throat, earache and colored congestion!! Just can't shake this icky sick feeling. The body aches and dizziness is utter torture!! Makes you want to cry! Went absolutely nowhere with the ENT and GP. ENT had me on a wild goose chase wanting me to pursue allergy testing and very, very expensive weekly shots (which I cancelled). And my GP hands out antibiotics and steroids like candy. I took 4 rounds of various antibiotics and steroid pills last year. I just cannot do it anymore!! It hasn't helped one bit! To make matters worse my right ankle is now swollen and its painful to walk. Sometimes I wonder if I have fibromyalgia or some kind of autoimmune issue. Sorry about my long rant. But I do hope you feel better soon, hon! Take care of yourself. Kim.
thanks did you bloods show virus/infection?
definitely Vit D is the Director of our hormones
No doctor had suggested any kind of blood work!
its hard as im so thin, doctors dont seem to care xx
i always have swollen glands from allergies, ive seen lots of specialists just too spread out, its getting silly now as im getting alot worse xx
thank you kim, sending hugs back xx
vitamin d is a hormone, i started taking it 6 days ago, not the prescribed one as i was allergic i ordered from holland and barrett xx
make sure your taking it with some healthy fats like avacado, cheese, peanut butter etc as it's fat soluble. And with a number that low about 5000 iu per day.
oh goodness does it feel like a cold? As my ears hurt when my glands swell up! It feels like a bad cold!
theyre now say it maybe osteopenia pfffft xx
wow my left ankle is swollen today, keep going blood clot haha makes you nuts all this xx
