Blood Results Normal ???!!!

Posted , 3 users are following.

I had some bloods done to check my hormone levels, liver,kidney function, crp and a blood count. The only thing that flagged was my iron levels. They were a bit low. I have so many peri symptoms. Brain fog, night sweats, flushes, dizzy off balance feeling, my head feels odd sometimes, like I'm floating?? hard to explain really. That creepy crawly feeling on my skin and scalp. I have gained around 15 kg and have horrible health anxiety, my BP fluctuates even though I am medicated. I know the doctor I saw looked into a lot but my gut tells me i am in peri and have been for around 6 years. I am 48 now and feel rotten 99% of the time. My motivation is zero, I wake up feeling like I've been hit by a bus. My tinnitus is so much worse now, I was first diagnosed in my 20's and I also have burning mouth syndrome. I'm just whinging I guess but I know some of you ladies may be able to relate to some of the symptoms I get. Let's hope we all have a wonderful Christmas with our family and we are all feeling even just slightly better over the holiday period.

    Hang in there dear. Do you sleep well? Fatigue and anxiety can account for the floaty feeling. Possibly you might be grinding or clenching your teeth more now, which can cause weird "head feelings" and tinnitus. I posted about my own experience here; perhaps you might find it helpful: https://patient.info/forums/discuss/thoughts-on-what-we-re-going-through-and-how-we-can-try-to-avoid-exacerbating-them-749174

      Thank you, it's probably the only vitamin I'm not taking atm but will give it a go. I do take Happy Hormones and think they have helped a bit . It's comforting to know I am not the only one going thru this but I don't wish this on anyone . Makes me wonder if we will ever get back to feeling normal again .

      I bought a perimenopause book. Vit D is acts like the Director of your hormones.

      It's really helped me. My headaches have also eased off and my legs don't ache as much.
