Hey ladies
I have read through so many posts and honestly, as much as I hate to hear so many of you have felt so sad and ill, its comforting to know I’m not alone.
For the past year or so, I’ve had pretty regular periods but I go from nothing to bright red blood rather than the brown spotting beforehand. The period before last was over a week late as well when im usually to the day. Incredibly tender boobs with PMS with headaches.
Where it gets weird is that this September, I became unwell with a virus that would go away (blocked nose, headache etc) then come back after a week or so. At the same time, I’ve had a burning/tingling feeling in my bits (outta labia) and my buttocks and back od thighs. It’s not external but like in the tissue.
That has come and gone from September to now, but I put it down to a virus.
As this was persistent, I had full bloodwork done which only showed I was fighting infection. They repeated the tests 2 weeks later and my levels were all normalised again.
Fast forward and I now have lightheadedness most days, internal shaking, anxiety is CRIPPLING as I feel im dying of something the doctors are missing. I have headaches, sporadic insomnia and night sweats. Joint pain and muscle aches like I’ve worked out. I keep having this thing where when I inhale sometimes, it’s like im inhaling menthol, like zaps on my brain!
Im so scared and sad most of the time as I just wanna feel normal again and look forward to things.
My doctor prescribed me progesterone pill (Slynd) to help manage some symptoms but with my health anxiety, im scared to take it.
I am going to start magnesium tonight to see how I go but wanted to know does anyone else experience the weird labia, buttocks, thigh thing? Have you taken progesterone if so and how did you get on?
Im 42 by the way x
