In a state of panic and great anxiety
Posted , 8 users are following.
I'm using halobetasol propionate ointment for my LS. It seems to be doing the job. I some minor irritation when I apply the medication but that is lessening. Having an emotional setback due to my recent Gyn appointment. I am post menopausal and I am experiencing some vaginal white opague discharge. I had a myomectomy in 1996 to remove uterine fibroids. I had a cone biopsy two years later that scarred by cervix. I've had two hysteroscopies (post menopausal spotting) and now because of the discharge I have to have a third hystercopy to rule out endometriosis, disintegrating fibroid or cancer cells. In the past the two hysteroscopies results where negative they just indicated I had fibroids. By the way all my Pap smears have been fine. While the procedure it self is not so scary, I am scared to death of what the results my be. I am unable to meditate without the negative and scary thoughts coming up. I've been keeping myself busy to keep the anxiety down. At night I wake up several times in a panic. I have always been someone who worries a lot. Any calming thoughts and comments would be greatly appreciated.

I used to spend hours a day meditating. Now I find knitting works better. Meditating is simply being aware of your mind while hoping to quiet it. In your case concentration on something external might be better. And always get up if you don't fall back to sleep in short order. The anxiety of worrying about not getting enough sleep is a guarantee of insomnia.
I was really dreading my last gynae appointment because I was sure I was having a biopsy. I was mistaken. Afterward I realized just how edgy I'd been for weeks (and bitchy with my husband). At least you're aware and looking for a solution.
As they say, if there'e nothing you can do about something, then there's no point in worrying. If there's something that can be done, then there's no point in worrying.
Easy enough for me to parrot it, but I do hope you can find something to concentrate on, maybe just a really engrossing TV series that has about nine seasons.

New hair do /pedicure /manicure /a bit of spoiling of yourself is NEVER time wasted, and most women spoil others and not that often, themselves
Don't keep your fear to yourself, let your near and dear into your anxiety so that if you ARE prickly they understand the reason - but dont let them dwell on the issue and ask them to help you get and stay upbeat.
Good luck Sue DM
