Hi girls, I've not posted for a while as I've been plodding on.. Good days and bad days.

However today I feel awful!!

Yesterday I fell over in a supermarket car park and have no idea how it actually happened. Today I woke up aching all over which I could put down to yesterday's fall but I also feel very dizzy and nauseous and totally 'out of my body' if you know what I mean. As the day unfolds I'm shivery and have a pain under my ribs which comes and goes ( approx every 30 mins or so)

Has anyone experienced same or any thoughts on this?

I've made a Dr appt for later this afternoon. Xx

    Hiya camikitten sorry you feeling so badly. I have days when I feel like I have been run over by a bus. Just achy and sore feeling if you know what I mean. Today my anxiety is terrible and I just been crying I hate when I feel this way!!! I hope you have a better day. Keep us posted after your Dr. visit. Big hugs to you.

    I was on HRT till last week took it for just on a month but I felt like I had morning sickness 24/7 saw my GP n he checked me over due to how I was feeling commenced me on a drop of citalompram daily n Zoplicone at night to help with the anxiety

    I have an hour or so where I feel ok then I'm drained, I've had joint pain that has been excruitiating but has calmed slightly

    I'm having an arthroscopy tomorrow as the pain is terrible but it's both knees n just having the left 1 done

      Hiya how do you feel today hope your op didn't take too much out of you!. I imagine your manager will be sympathetic and how you can hold down a job is something to give yourself a huge pat on the back because iam unemployed due to other health issues( isn't life just grand lol) so hope you have a quick recovery and back to work feeling a bit better, Well done you! Its what they call Girl Power ha ha. If you dont laugh you cry X

      I really hope not are you lying down cause usually if you have pain in your legs its good to elivate them like put a couple of pillows under your legs and try and take it easy. Glad to hear you had friends around iam single and wouldn't know what to do without my friends and my family but mostly my friends. I hope you get some relaxing time and one tip i got from a friend is that over-thinking things makes everything so much worse. This is my second day on new hrt not feeling great and wasn't sure to start them but i have now so might as well see if they help, i live in hope Take care and keep in touch iam from Scotland where about in the world are you? If you're not comfortable saying that's fine just wishing you a quick recovery XX

    What a fright for you Camikitten. I'm glad you're going to the doctor - could you have bruised your ribs? - hope everything is checked out for you. I had a hard fall a few years ago while crossing the road. Like you it was sudden and just happened. Crashed down on my forelegs like a pile of bricks.I wasn't hurt apart from a scraped hand and very sore legs but I was badly shaken.

    These physical things carry psychological harms with them too.

    Let us all know what the doctor says.
