My turn to vent

Okay first I want to tell Marci that I'm sorry for high jacking your thread for my own problem. I didn't realize how much all that was bothering me until I read your post.

Now on to two more problems...

First I'm having a medical test tomorrow. The test requires you to have nothing but liquids for one day and nothing the next until your test. My test is at 3:30 in the afternoon! Beside starving messing with me I can't take my meds until after the test so I will miss most of my anti-d's tomorrow. I maybe over reacting but this has me scared to death. I have to have the test. I guess I just want some hugs and reassurance.

Second, I'm much older than most of you, I think. I have recently started having symptoms of menopause. I'm sure most of you can't relate but, I need to get this out. One of the big problems with menopause is mood swings. I am flat terrifide about this. I can't imagine those mood swings on top of the regular ones. I'm just beside myself! My pharm. is supposed to be an expert on going through it naturally so I'm goin to call and talk to her I think. Now, me who's telling every one else to make those calls, I'm embarassed to make the call because she knows how many meds I'm already on. I just don't know what to do. I need more hugs, prayers, love or something to quote someone else.;o)

Love,

Jamie

Take a deep breath! My mom just went thru the same sort of test.
I stopped my meds ALL of them about 10 months ago to try to conceive. I didn't notice any real difference for weeks. It's only in the last couple of months that I have totally started to loose it. Don't worry too much. One day won't hurt ya.
Hugs!

Hi Keli,

Thanks! I'm 45 and I guess I just didn't want to think about this yet. It kind of hit me between the eyes. I know with the help of everyone here I'll get through all this. I'm just scared. You're a sweet heart.

Love,

Jamie

((((Jamie)))), first of all hon, you are NOT that much older than me and by no means are you 'old'! Now, onto the rest of your post;)


I understand you wanting to do this naturally and if it's possible, I say go for it! But, if not, they do have hormones that will help with the menopausal mood swings.

Traci,

You make total sense! Thanks for saying I'm not old. This whole thing just makes me feel old.

Love to you,

Love,

Jamie,


You didn't hijack anything, sometimes somebody's post will trigger something else for us--happens all the time (I know I've done it) and I don't think anybody thinks a thing of it!


Sugarplum, if you're OLD, I'm positively ANCIENT-LOL!

Hugs, love and support.

I hope that you do talk to her and that you are able to figure something out.

Hi Maci,

You made me LOL. I'm going to take the 2 things you mentioned on my list of question to the pharm. I'm going to call today to see when I can talk to her. Thanks for your incoragment. I'll be okay I guess. I think part of this whole fear thing is the test I'm having today. I know it's a piece of cake but the prep is a booger boo.

Love,

Jamei
