Hi ladies

I've got to let everything out so I will do it on here.

Like us all one way or another I am so fed up. I have been trying to stay positive every day for months.

I have just about got ever symptom under the sun. Anxiety sky high

Doom and gloom

Terrible acid reflux (been waiting for an ENT appointment which is 4 weeks time now)

Sinus problems

Burning mouth and tongue

A terrible burning and fizzy type nose feeling inside which hurts to breath in so I'm not breathing properly. There are hard scabs in my nose,been there for 2 months.

Severe jaw and pressure headache every day for last 3 months

Tight chest and racing heart

Nauseous

Light and fuzzy headed.

I've been going to doctor's off and on for a few months(actually nearly every week )

Been up to A & E once (just anxiety I was told without doing tests)

I was such a happy,sociable person who enjoyed life before all this.

I hate everything now

I love my husband and kids but feel a failure to them.

Am thinking desperately of paying private for my nose and reflux symptoms!

Any suggestions?

    Hey Michelle! I'm right there with you!! I loath, hate, despise this time of my life. Thought I would enjoy it. Every single day brings on new challenges. My husband keeps telling me about the people "who have it worse then me, who can't walk, or dying, etc.". That does not help, only makes me feel guilty!

    I'm the top sales person in my company every year and now for the last 4-5 years I never want to leave my house.

    I love to food shop. Today I had to talk myself into breathing all the way to the food co op because it was SO challenging and debilitating. The simplest things are the hardest.

    Who ever knew???????!!!!!

    Let me off this ride girl.

    Jamie

    Michelle, have you ever had extensive blood work? I just came home yesterday to results from an ANA blood draw, and it was positive. Also stated my creative kinase level is low. Not knowing what these were, I looked up, and it means I have some sort of autoimmune disease, quite possibly lupus. Now I need to see a rheumatologist to have more extensive testing done to see exactly which one I do have, or if something else, which I doubt. I mention this because we share so many symptoms. Please don't give up,meet searching for your answer. Doesn't sound like everything you have is meno related. Let me know.
