Hi all,
l had an appointment today with a gp which has just left me with loads of questions rather than answers, Well l will get them after my blood test.
My symptoms are lack of sleep l am usually asleep now, go to bed routinely about 10.30 and wake up at about 3am. I have like 5 nights every so often where l am so hot and sweaty l have to shower and wash my hair because it’s so wet, l have restless legs and wake up feeling like l have ran for 10 miles and not stressed. I sometimes say the wrong word like this morning l said put that in the bin instead of washing basket, l sometimes am in the middle of a conversation and l forget what l am talking about. I am emotional sometimes over silly things. My knees hurt sometimes, if l don’t have a night or two just of quietness l know l would feel not stressed but irritated. I get itchy feet hot and itch when l am weeping, my skin is having mad breakouts too.
my life is busy l have 2 kids s husband and a full time job, l live away from my family and two weeks ago joined ww and started running, l have a good social life out maybe once a fortnight and do nice things for myself for example l had my hair and nails done today, then had lunch on the beach by myself which l thought was nice, l was by there and thought why not do that before my appointment.
At the appointment she took my blood pressure which was high and l wasn’t surprised seeing as the parking is awful there, then she didn’t really want to know about my sleeping, but told me basically l am fat and l am suffering with depression, she gave me done leaflets about breast cancer, losing weight and depression made some blood appointments for me to check my iron levels, to see if l am diabetic and asked me to fill in a blood monitor sheet, l said l didn’t have one she said they are £15 on Amazon and that’s it.
I behave bought a blood monitor and it’s 138 over 90 do high but the chart looks like it could be worse, l don’t feel depressed, l feel fobbed off like she couldn’t be bothered to listen to me, she didn’t ask about my periods, l just think what was the point if you aren’t going to listen.
For clarification l am fat, l could of told her that, l know it’s her job but that’s not why l was there.
l feel so deflated from the appointment, l can’t even go and get my bloods done for 5 weeks that’s how long the wait is 🙄
