Hello
I apologise that this is similar to my other posts, but I’ve hit an incredible low!!
I have not had a period for a year - nearly 50 - and tests 6 months ago from medi checks showed I was going towards menopause.
So - no blood tests right now! I have paid to see a bio identical hormone doctor and they are testing me today - complete thyroid panel and hormones. However my appointment to discuss these is not until 29 Sept. of course I will
Keep trying for a cancellation.
My issue is how bad I feel. I am desperately trying to keep working but the insomnia anxiety and low mood are chronic. I have read and read and think I need estriol. I have sourced some. I am keen to start after the bloods and before I see the private doc, out of desperation for relief - mainly insomnia.
I guess the hard thing is the overlapping of symptoms with thyroid and menopause and not knowing what is causing what. Of course, once I have bloods it’s easier, I appreciate that. I just need to feel better before the end of September!!
Any advice at all? I am minded to take a little estriol and see. As far as I can see it won’t make things worse. It could just mean I need more thyroxine. Should I take progesterone as well? They came together from biovea.
Any advice at all would be hugely appreciated.
