Nervous about Hormones testing
Posted , 13 users are following.
Hi All,
I went to a docs appointment yesterday. I had to see a new GP since my previous one no longer accepts my insurance. I was very anxious and nervous because of health anxieties I hate going to the docs. I didn't like my previous GP but used him because all my family uses him.
Over all, I was pleased with the visit. She actually listened to my concerns even though she thinks I may need to see a therapist for the anxiety. Stated that she would do a complete blood work up to see where my levels are. I expressed that I wanted my thyroid checked. She stated she was going to check that, my cholesterol, and my hormone levels. My previous GP did not check any of that. She stated she don't like prescribing pills if they are not needed.
I am anxious about the hormones. The rest of the blood work I'm ok with as I have had several done in the past few months. I just hate for the hormone levels to come back normal. I feel no one is listening to how I feel and I'm not getting anywhere. I've changed my diet and doing more to help myself but without a doc seeing something on paper they act as if I'm talking like a nutcase when I'm sharing my symptoms. I'm just tired of going in circles and I'm tired of the guessing as to what is wrong with me. I know it's not anything serious from previous visits to hospitals and docs so I'm certain it's hormones but the docs just will not say. Sorry for the long post. I needed to vent.

The peri anxiety is rearing its head this morning, I am shaking and nauseated upon waking. I had my ultrasound scan yesterday and surgery is being scheduled to remove my ovary. Its sending me into a panic. Im so scared. Before peri, this wouldn't have made me so anxious.
I know its the hormones, especially because I am due for my cycle in a few days. Please feel free to vent. I know it helps. Any bit of help is good right now. Hugs

That's what they kept telling me depression was the reason I had no appetite and perhaps I was hungry so that makes you feel nausea (as if I had never experienced hunger before).
It didn't make any difference telling them often that I had no need to be depressed I was for the first time in long time settled and secure having just got married. One doctor even suggested after all the excitement of the past few years I was feeling 'flat' b because I no longer had anything to look forward to!
I can tell you (at least in my case) HRT and estrogen in particular have stopped these things and a whole lot more.
Pity I had to wait until after meno to find this out.
I know things are better I have been eating eggs again after hating the smell of them for almost 10 years. My digestion is still on the slow side, but now worrying that because I'm able to eat more and I'm no longer turning my nose up at meal times I may gain weight.
I have lost about 6 lbs in the 4 months since starting it so maybe that won't be the case.

Good quality multivitamin,
Magnesium extra b12. My friend said evening primrose oil helped her but I didn't think it helped me as much as the b12 magnesium.
I also had to stop drinking wine tea and coffee. Bread.
I drank white tea with a slice of lemon which is quite refreshing and does have a little caffeine in.
I certainly felt better using these than I did without. I still use b12 and magnesium and have spells on multivitamins.
These days I can drink tea no problem but no more than 2 coffees a day after a meal. Any more will leave me jittery. Alcohol very occasionally and bread still bloats me and gives me stomach ache.
