I'm sorry... Girl issues

I'm sorry if I bug too much. My anxiety seems to get worse when it's that time of the month for me. It starts at least a week before. Just random panic attacks and social phobia. Well it's been 2 weeks now that it has been in full force. My period is 5 days late. I had the usual I'm gonna start feeling but it went away. My tubes are tied but I took a test anyway and sure enough it was negative. I don't know what's going on but my anxiety is just killing me. The panic attacks are the worst. Plus I've had long hot flashes today with my hands and feet freezing but my body and especially my face burning. I checked my temp and its normal. I don't want to go to the doctor because I know they'll just blame it on my anxiety.

Yeah I can tell it is. Feeling like I'm on fire most of the day. I seriously would think premenopause but I'm only 31. And this is the second time I've been late since I had my tubes tied. I've had hormone tests before but they just did random testing and not during a time I was having problems.

Sound like your hormones are going "crazy" right now.

I used to get that way starting about 10 days before my period, then my period would come, and then I'd get that way AFTER my period for about a week. It's caused by the fluctuations in your hormone levels.

Thankfully, my doc did an endometrial ablation because of extremely heavy periods that lasted like 10 days, and I no longer get my period. WAHOOOO!!! LOL!

BUT, I still get all the PMS symptoms with the whole hormonal thing, just not as bad, and NO cramps or bleeding! I can usuallt tell when it SHOULD be "that time of the month" by using my anxiety levels as a type of gauge.

No worries, it's your hormones wreaking havoc right now.

Feel better soon!

Well my period showed up today and I thought I'd feel better but I don't. I feel like I've been hit by a train. I've had a bad day though. It started waking up early after going to bed really late. I woke up nauseated and in a hurry because I kept hitting the snooze button and I turned the alarm off thinking I was getting up but I didnt. I had to hurry out of bed and rush my dog to the vet because I had to get him there before 8 to get neutered. I have him a bath yesterday because I know he can't get wet for awhile and put his tick and flea stuff on in case he had ticks. Yes ticks. I hired pest control this year and I swear they plant bugs because I only had spider and ant problem but I hire them and I get ticks. Well anyway I got home and stayed nauseated for another hour until my period started, then I was ok. But around 3 I got major cramps. Then the vet called and said my dog was fine but they put tick stuff on him because he had ticks. I told them I just put some on him!!! I was so mad. That stuff is $50 a box. So then my cost goes up another $20 because they didnt consult me about it. My bill was already at $285. I get my dog and he refuses to get out at home and he's like 70 lbs. so that was real fun fighting to get him out. Then I had to take my stepson home who lives like 30 minutes away. I get on the freeway and I instantly have a major panic attack. I was hot, nauseated, sweating and cramping so bad. I took the back roads home. It took a lot longer but I stopped to say hi to my dad. I ate and had another panic attack. So I started to work on getting the kids curriculum and put books away. Now I'm in bed its 1:20. I'm in so much pain. And my anxiety is through the roof.

Sorry that was so long. I just feel horrible and had a horrible day. To top it off. I've already spent close to $1,000 on curriculum and as I was going through a few books I realized I forgot to buy the DVD that goes with our Latin course. So frustrating. I didnt even know it needed one. Ugh... I'm sooooo done with today. I hope tomorrow will be better.

Thanks SC. I'm hoping for some light. Cramps are still bad. Not mention I kept my dog in overnight so I woke up to dog vomit all over my house. I don't keep my dogs in the house because they are not trained. And 2 of them are very stubborn and refuse to listen. My cocker is the best one and he's a rescue dog. But he's stinking up my house really bad because the groomer was booked till September but they had a cancellation so now he goes in on the 12th. Can't wait he looks like an alien and smells. Well it's his ears that smell. Yuck!!!! But I love him.

I've gone in many times. I've had my hormone levels tested and they come back normal. My TSH stays at a steady .56 only once it dropped really low. During the time it dropped I was having a headache that lasted over a week. I couldn't use my arms because they hurt and were very weak. They were so weak that I'd shake just holding a book. And they did an X-ray of my neck and found arthritis. They gave me a shot of Toradol and I couldn't believe how well it took the pain away. Eventhough my periods aren't that irregular the doctor said its normal for someone my age to have it anywhere between 23-32 days. The only option he gave me was to take birth control. But I refused because the many times I've been on it the side effects were worse than dealing with it. Which was why I opted to get my tubes tied during my last c section. I wish I hadn't. I swear things have been worse since I had that done and the doctor said nothing can be related to that, but I know my body better than him. I only joke about menopause because that's what it feels like. I know true menopause starts once you go a year with no period plus I'm only 31 and still have everything minus the tubes being snipped. 😊

Today is turning into another bad day. Cramps are a killer my pelvic floor is killing me and a headache.

What Larry? You always have something to say!!!

Today got progressively worse. I know you all know about my phobia. Well anyway me and the kids were out watching the planes making scratches in the sky. There was an unusual amount of them, usually 2 or 3, but today there were 10 or more. So it was kind of a show. My baby kept pointing at them and yelling FIRE! As sure enough there was a fire ball falling. Me and the older kids joked and said we're getting nuked. I came inside and as soon as I did my stomach turned. Instantly I go into panic mode heart racing, feet sweating, and chest feeling heavy. I just hate it. Plus after 3 cups of coffee earlier I was a starving crazy woman. I mostly ate grains and oats because I know fiber is good for you and during your TOM.

So Larry. Come on talk, I know you got sumtin to say...

Oh well. I'm just gonna lay in my dungeon with my buddy the heating pad and hopefully some time my medication will kick in. I'm gonna give a little more time before I take more. These stupid kolonopin and remeron pills are just like sugar pills now. They aren't doing much for me anymore. Can't wait to see the head doctor on the 15th.

Ha ha. I got a red head problem too in the other room. My dad. Bless his heart he thought coming over here to sleep off his beer would make me feel better. But I know it'll cost me somehow. I gotta pay my dad to be my dad. He takes care of his girlfriends kids but if I need him it ends up costing me money for his time. I quit giving him money so he hasn't been around much. I miss my old dad. He use to give me his Valium. I don't know how they knock him out he's 6'2" about 300 lbs and I'm 5'4" about 145. He takes 1-2 and feels good and sleeps but it would take 3-4 to calm me down.

Awe... I wish I had those shots at home. They gave me tramadol to go home with. They didnt do anything. Tylenol helps more than those stupid pills.

Ugh I've been having girl issues too! Pretty similar to yours actually, and its not premenopause. I'm only 20! Last month, my period was late and I was feeling so "off" for over a week before. Extreme bouts of anger, wanting to cry for no reason, generally just feeling hysterical. The worst part was derealization and anxiety attacks. When my period finally started the cramps were unbelievable.


I saw my doctor for it a few days ago because I am just fed up. She said that the extreme dip in hormones before your period actually is very similar to menopause. I read that birth control didn't work for you.. the doc. prescribed me some to try and warned me that the first month is always "unpredictable" while your body adjusts.. I'm pretty nervous about taking it, but I can't live with these awful periods anymore either!

Its just nice to see I'm not the only one, even though it'd be better if neither of us had to deal with this!

Dang Larry makes me laugh - a redhead huh, would that be the lady of the house - the boss of Larry's Land?

Getting back on topic, I hope today  you will feel better; it does look like you have been in close touch with your Dr. 

I wish I had the magic answer for you but the best I can offer is support and understanding what it feels like to have phobias and anxiety.

Kindly,

Kitt
