Anxiety, blood tests and feeling weird.

[fibrogirl41]

hi all, I hope everyone is okay. I am okay had the blood test results back and all was normal thank goodness. I went to next the other day and I had to come home not long after I felt a bit funny and I had to go home. I am fed up with it all and I am going to talk to the doctor again soon and tell her it seems to be taking over my life and I have had enough of this. I try to think positively and not worry about things. I hope I will be okay x 😊 ❤️ 😢

I am sorry you are suffering so. I never seem to feel right especially in the evening when my anxiety gets so very difficult to cope with. On a recent blood test I was left very bruised and my arm was in quite a state adding to my anxiety. I struggle in big shops like next as the lights are so bright , too much noise and confusion seems to be every where . This makes me feel terrible its seems to have got worse over the years. I feel out of sorts nearly all the time and living with excruciating pain from fibro , ibs and irritable bladder etc is not a lot of fun. I am not sure I have understood you correctly though , forgive me if this is the case and I wish you well and hope your GP can help some more

Hi - thank you for letting us all know how you got on. Whilst I'm pleased your blood tests were normal, I'm sorry to read you're still not doing so well.

I think you're doing exactly the right thing in discussing things further with your GP, as she is in the best possible position to help. You will be OK, it's just a matter of trying to find out what may help you the best.

Hi Fibrogirl, sorry to hear you're struggling. I can absolutely relate to you and share your frustrations. It's good to not feel alone in these feelings and to keep wondering if you're just simply losing your mind! I thought HRT was going to be my magical solution but alas no 🤷. I swear there is definitely something about being in your 40's that exasperates your symptoms, it's quite a mystery. Keep battling your corner (no one else will!), keeping seeking your personal solutions (it seems different things help different people) and be sympathetic and understanding to yourself like you would to a friend (why we so hard on ourselves I will never know!). Gentle hugs xx

I think we can differently relate to your current situation , I’ve been there where I’ve just wanted too get home and I differently think anxiety can play a part with people feeling this way, keep at it with your GP , I was put on Duloxtene for anxiety, 5 years later still working well for me. We might not be able too climb mountains celery day but a little time out of the house can be positive for our mental well being. even an hour or so xx

hi thanks for your kind message x I do hope I can get some help or a bit of medication for it for a little while and then maybe one day I can get my life back x ❤️ ☺️

I do hope so, it’s hard sometimes juggling Fibro and other health stuff but if the doc can work with you on this, my fingers crossed xx
