Re: not coping

Re: not coping

its so stressful @Snowie
its those womens health tests 😞 i hate those but i guess it needs to be done.


i dont blame you for not wanting to leave the bedroom. maybe make a cuppa and then retreat back.

do you need to get the kids from school today?

Re: not coping

I don't like those tests either @outlander

Especially with trauma they are hard to deal with.

Hopefully they all go smoothly for you.

H is picking the kids up. I've had prn so I don't think driving is the go. I managed to go into the kitchen and make a cuppa.

Re: not coping

Oh no @outlander to be honest I hate those tests too. I've had four babies and breastfed them all and after that I felt like my body had been poked and prodded so often. It wasn't trauma as such but feelings of one vulnerable moment after another. I was so over it I put off any testing for years after that. I'm actually due for testing soon and was thinking about the test you can now do yourself. Still at the GP surgery but taken to the bathroom, then back to them. I know not all testing can be done this way but this is one I might make the most of. I can only imagine how difficult it is for you.

Re: not coping

well done, a cuppa sounds nice. @Snowie im on the phone to the assessors now.


@hanami geez i can only imagine. how invasive!
i unfortunately need a couple more tests done besides the one that could be done myself. im having some issues with reccurent infections, swelling in the uterus, etc but cant find the issues among other things so ive been having some tests done. need to get some further treatment tomorrow and needing to have a procedure to basically clean everything up in there and hopefully helps it out. ill also get my tests results as well to see what the results of those are and next steps etc
