But would appreciate views
age 43, two pre teen kids
symptoms
*feel totally flat. Can’t get excited about much at all. If doing something lovely (recent experiences - business class upgrade and huge achievement at work) I know I should feel elated but I just feel nothing. Sort of like I’m not in my body. This is not like me. I’ve been through some horrible shit and have been depressed, anxious etc but I never lost my ability to feel joy. But now I have.
*uti after sex every. single. time!
*need the loo more often and at least once in night
*absolutely zero sex drive, like none. Aversion would be more accurate
*tired, SO tired in the mornings. I WFH and have had to adjust my hours to allow for this. I cannot function until midday so I usually sleep after the school run 9-1130 then work like a beast 12-6 with no break.
*finding everyone around me intensely boring and would rather just be alone. I’ve never felt like this previously
confusing factors:
- i don’t have periods, I’ve been running pill packets together since i stopped ttc
- im also on an SSRI (sertraline 100mg) which I think - alongside the combined pill - also started to affect libido, so it might just be an intensification of that?
- I’m currently doing wegovy to lose the 2 stone I gained in last few years (from eating too much). I’m now a healthy BMi. I am not sure if wegovy can account for any of my symptoms
- i did a blood screen and was a bit low on vitamin d and b and sub optimum for iron. However, I’ve been on supplements for 6m now and no change
if you’ve got this far then thank you
I’d appreciate any take on any of this and advice on who to see to get myself back to the old me. I have set aside some money to do this privately if need be
