Really really fed up.

Hi ladies
Well I've come on here to express myself. I don't want to talk about it to my family.
Some of you may remember I am on HRT.
Certain things have slightly improved but nowhere near enough.
I've been going back and forward to the doctors for months now.
At the start of all this i was in bed with fear and panic.
Now I can go places but don't feel comfortable for too long.
Acid reflux is a bit better.
Still got tense aching muscles.
I have got burning mouth syndrome and a jaw problem which makes my head feel like it is blowing off and my face tingles and ears ring.
I had a biopsy of my mouth and waiting for results.
A week or so ago my blood pressure was low and I was told to have more salt . Also my throat is fluttery and a burning sensation (not the same as sheer panic)
I cannot rest anywhere. I've been trying to accept that it will ease eventually.
My mum reckons thyroid as a lady on here pointed it out but my doctor said I don't need to have a blood test because I had one nine months ago!
Surely I should have one now?
Overall my symptoms are still:
Severe head and jaw pressure
Tingling face
Burning mouth syndrome
Tight chest due to fluttery feelings in throat
So tired and fatigued .
I can take a lot but this is something else!
What do you ladies reckon?
Also I'm awaiting a neurologist app re my headaches and twitches.
So down.

Menopause makes you think the worst. Treat yourself like you are a hormonal teenager. You know how that was.

1) Phone your gp surgery & ask if they have a specialist menopause/women's health gp or nurse. If yes, make an appt with them. If not, make an appt with another gp (not the rubbish one that is your own). I honestly think they should put you up to 200mg progesterone not the 100mg you are on (based on my specialist meno gp & product leaflets).
2) Take your progesterone just before bedtime, not "anytime" like your gp said. (based on product leaflet & what my gp advised.)
3) Make an appt with a different gp than your own (the one you saw last time) & push/insist you have bloods done again for thyroid as your bp has been low recently & not done for 9mths!
4) If (& I hope you do) go upto 200mg progesterone & take it at bedtime, see how you go for 1mth. If you don't feel even the slightest improvement, you could talk to doc/meno specialist about trying a different estrogen formula.
5) Book yourself in for that back/neck/shoulder massage we spoke about recently when you don't have to do anything afterwards(so you can relax for couple of hours after).
I hope this helps hun'; when you are sick to death of it all sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees. Maybe my little "help" list will help you work through some possible solutions & "target" each possibility in some order. xxx

Without the ladies on here, I for one would find it harder. Knowing your not alone and people here understand and can share feelings and remedies that have worked.
Big hugs Michelle are here when you need them. X Sazzie x
