I too have heavy periods and fibroids causing anaemia. I was offered the mirena coil last year which is supposed to help but didn't fancy it. I'm considering hrt now as perimeno symptoms are getting stronger.
Hope you don't have too long to wait for Drs appt

Hi Michelle
Gosh, where to start. Early this year I was having palpitations and erratic heartbeat and panicky feelings. Had ecg and heart monitors and all normal. Guess that could be health anxiety. Tiredness, not wanting to go anywhere or do anything, such hard work to motivate myself. But I thought this was all being caused by the anaemia. Then over the last month the night sweats and hot flashes slowly started and crashing fatigue. (I've just woke up after crashing on settee) couldn't help it. Brain fog. Bloatedness. I've put weight on round my middle and had the rib pains, can't stand wearing a bra! One thing I don't have is headache which I'm grateful for.
The night sweats are really bad now, waking every hour, then shivering.
I'm trying different alternatives as suggested on here but I'm probably not giving them long enough to work. There's so much to choose from it gets confusing what to try. I've just today had sage and passionflower delivered so thats what I'm going with at the moment. I take Co enzyme Q10 for brain function and biotin for hair and I've been using meno pace.
I've been following your posts and symathize with all you are going through, you are very brave. I was so glad when I found this site and am able to talk with others suffering similarly. And the positiveness from some who've found relief.
Love and hugs

I was taking omeprazole for over a year for bloating and excessive gas, huge burps, embarrassing! But thats how I found this site, googling side effects. The same symptoms I've described can be attributed to omeprazole and it also inhibits absorption of iron. Why my doctor didn't know this I don't know!
I stopped taking it 2 months ago and so far managing with careful diet and rennies.

HI
My scan came up with the same as yours.I also googled and came up with cancer.I suffer with really heavy periods and after speaking to my gyne I was told it was the start of the menopause.I have fibroids and had a fibrod embolisation three weeks ago and was told by the surgeon that that the thickening in the wombi is the start of the menopause.I'm sure its nothing to worry about but understand your concern.
