Unable to cope anymore
Posted , 7 users are following.
Hi all,
I feel like I have reached rock bottom. All I want to do is cry everyday is basically sh*te!
I'm currently experiencing shoulder pain, painful burning right breast - i had painful lumps appear overnight that feel like aqua beads! GP thought they were cysts and gave me antibiotics that didn't help. Now my armpit is sore but along the line where your bra sits no obvious lumps there and the ones in my boob are getting smaller. I had a mammogram in Feb that was all clear.
My health anxiety is through the roof and I'm really struggling to function I feel like there is no end to any of it.
I have a coil so no periods, I've has a pelvic US that showed a 7mm uterine lining, sonographer wrote i have a perimenopausal womb!!! I've had every blood test going and all clear.
Can everything really just be hormones

awww Sarah sending you hugs. My breast is burning too especially when I'm sleeping all the breast tissue and my periods are soooooo heavy. My breast stopped burning once I finished my period. My periods are the worst ever 😫 seeing a gynaecologist in a few weeks

Thanks for the reply, I'm just so fed up. My arm crease is really sore so much that my sports crop tops are rubbing.
The lumpy bits in my boobs keep growing and shrinking and moving. I feel like one boob has just totally deflated (bit like me)
Back at the Dr on Thursday
Finding it hard to smile at the moment

Hi, Yes seeing the Dr face to face and i have a double appointment to discuss the lumps in my boob and my symptoms / results of all my blood tests and scan.
My health anxiety has gone into overdrive and I'm convinced i have breast cancer that's spread to my lymph nodes hence the under arm soreness. I just want my brain to switch off. I'm due to go back to work tomorrow and have no idea how I'm going to cope. All I want is for it all to go away ☹

awww bless you. Don't worry I know how you feel but you'll probably get referred to the breast clinic again and they will do an ultrasound to check your mammogram from last year. I went through the same situation 3 years ago as I developed lumps under my armpit and it was so sore. I've got superficial lumps. .they still give me anxiety.
You'll have peace of mind. Keep me posted and we are here for you as we understand ❤

I'm just hoping they are cysts and trying not to Google!
Are you in the UK I'm in Hertfordshire really wish there was a AA type face to face meeting for the menopausal it would be great to actually meet real people again

yes don't go down the Google rabbit hole. I'm in Hertfordshire Rickmansworth?
I had my booster today and before it I feel worse for wear. My legs ache and my feet are burning. I feel like 95! I'm 44:( I had the worst heavy periods this week think it might be from all the blood loss. Cont wait to see the gynecologist
I feel like I'm dying slowly everything aches and I feel dizzy 😵

I'm in Hertford and I'm 45 (46 in April)
I'm going to ask to have my coil taken out as its due out in August anyway and I'd like to track my periods. Roughly every 3 weeks I get blood when i wipe (the 1st time was when my boob hurt and the lumpy bits started)
aside from my boob the symptom bothering me the most is my left shoulder blade pain
Who'd be a woman

definitely get it taken out. The gynecologist wanted to put one in me this year and I said no as I feel terrible and the side effects of the coil aren't great? I couldn't take it if I got bad skin! Apparently that is one side effect? I'm scared of the coil

The one i have now is my 4th one but I don't need it for birth control (I have no sex drive any more) They have all worked amazing till now and after the 1st 6 months I never had any bleeding. Now i just keep getting this wiping blood which as I've had a normal US can only assume is hormonal

How was your Christmas and New Year?
I spent time with family and had a lovely night out with the girls and I felt bloody normal after a few cocktails. Went to winterwonderland and saw the lights in London. Back to work today 😪 feel like sleeping. Had my booster today 😌 This is the last time I'm getting vaccinated as I felt awful today my peri is in overdrive after my period.
