Hi all. In the hope I do get an appointment with my GP what the fuck can I do about all of this?
I had a mirena fitted for heavy periods which completely fucked me up emotionally. Got put on oestradiol which evened it out a bit but I was still really angry and aggressive. Filled in a form for the GP but it's a six week wait to see anyone and I was frightened I was going to kill someone or myself so I went to a private GP and got the coil took out. GP rang me after but I missed the call as I was working. The private GP said I had to stop the oestrogen because I no longer had the mirena ok fine I've done that.
But since then I've had insane amounts of hot flashes, sometimes several an hour, it is horrible and I struggle to function. After one finishes I feel freezing cold, exhausted and overwhelmed. They happen all the time. When I'm driving, when I'm in meetings, when I'm just sat about reading. Also my periods have stopped and I have fucking ACNE on my fucking chin.
I've filled in another form to try and get a GP appointment. If I can, what the fuck should I ask for? I can't go on like this it is doing my head in.
