Just been sitting here sobbing. I am have been unwell on and off for 3/4 years now since my last baby and over that time have seen 3 gynaes - spoke to the last one yesterday and we have agreed on a hysterectomy (at some point...when hospitals are a bit less busy.)
I have endometriosis, adenomyosis and anaemia but the main reason for seeing the gynaecologists has really been my hormones - which have been making me feel like hell and I am at the point where I can’t go on anymore.
I am constantly suffering from headaches, nausea, body aches, extreme fatigue, brain fog, hot flushes...feeling so ill basically that I need to go to bed. It was on a cyclical basis (10 days out of 20) but is currently all the time due to the fact that I have just completed a 3 month course of Zoladex injections.
The only relief I have had for it has been progesterone (in the form of norethisterone or desogestrel). This was discovered somewhat by accident after taking norethisterone for period delay on holiday!
Has anyone else had these extreme physical symptoms without the mental ones? I am already on antidepressants (for anxiety - long term issue) so perhaps that has taken away some of those symptoms. I feel like i really need a proper diagnosis - or at the very least to have someone properly listen to me and accept that what I am feeling is real and serious!!!
