not feeling good

not feeling good

At the moment i am not feeling good. i feel like my body is in 'run away mode'. i feel my body is running on a high, my head is so mixed up. i have to go to bed and try to sleep, but don't know if i can.

my hormones are everywhere at the moment; my mood is sky high negative. i can't deal with this anymre. all of a sudden i am not feeling good. i think it is anxiety.

i don't know why i feel like this; i just want to cry but can't becsue everyone is home. i am going to bed. i don't know what is going on. actually maybe it is anxiety because i felt like passing out today.

I went to my GP to have my mirena IUD taken out as I had had enough. But he couldn't find the string, so he sent me for a ultrasound. Had that and the guy said i had two fibroids and a cyst on my ovary. but he couldn't find the string either, so had to have an xray to find the metal piece. they didn't tell me anything. but while waiting i was so anxious i almost passed out.

so now i have to wait for tomorrow when my GP will call me at work and let me know what will happen now. hopefully he can take the mirena out. i don't know.

my body is reacting to my anxiety - i feel so shaky, i need to stop. no point telling anyone at home becasue (a) they won't believe me and (b) they prob wouldn't care.

sorry, i had to tell someone. i feel so alone 😞

Re: not feeling good

@BlueBay BB has a endoscopy been done? Nothing conclusive as far as I would be concerned can be concluded until that is done. Have you thought of changing doctors asap to get that much needed second opinion?

Re: not feeling good

@Bunniekins

i had a gastroscopy two years ago which came back fine. but the pain is back and is terrible. i am on meds for the acid but it's doing noting for the pain. He keeps telling me it is my mental state and that once i am better my pains will go away!!! WTF - what if my mental state takes a long time to get better, do i have to put up with this pain for that long??

He is a very good doctor, caring and very sympathetic towards my mental health but this has really stirred things up for me - i am a bit angry.

I can't see him until next thursday but when i do i will ask him that i need to see a specialist and ask for a gastroscopy. I am sure i have an ulcer, the pain is there during the day but more so at night when my stomach is empty.

I rang him yesterday to ask for anything i could take and he said no it would affect my other meds and that it will 'just take time'. Well i don't want to wait any longer.

Re: not feeling good

@BlueBay I can appreciate your frustration. I would be wanting another test and it cannot hurt just to make sure. FYI I had awful reflux with my children and they did tests and it came up with I had a leaky stomach valve which then was medicated for .... problem solved. After having children these things can happen.

Re: not feeling good

Hi @Bunniekins I've just called the specialist I want to see for my stomach. Csnt get in to see him until middle June. I've made appt. all I need now is a referral from my doctor. Hope he gives me one. This specialist is a gastroenterologist and has lots of experience. I think it's time I see someone.
I'm laying on the couch eith a blanket trying to sleep but it's painful. There is nothing I can take.

Re: not feeling good

@BlueBay You cant eat yoghurt or drink milk? That would help. I am really happy that you are going to push for this it has been going on too long and if nothing else it will put your mind at rest.
