Hello all...I was wondering if any of you had any suggestions about this crappy lightheadedness I seem to get when I get my period...it actually hasnt started "all the way" yet but it happened last month but not until a few days after it got started...and of course with the anxiety now I am worried that something is wrong or im going ot pass out or something...it only usually happens around my period or during it and I had my first endocrinologist appt last week and they are testing me for anemia but this just freaks me out and my dh still at work...i just get scared by myself and that is so horrible cause im 27, i should be able to handle this mess!! But i guess i just want to know if anyone else has this problem during their period, and what do you do about it? My holstic doctor's lab guy is also going to be testing my female hormones sometime in the next couple weeks too because the Endo did not seem interested in testing anything but my thyroid and rechecking my adrenals...i kind of wanted to smack her...but i guess I will lay low this weekend and just get rest...thanks for letting me vent im so tired of this crap!! lol much love to all...

(((Krista))) I am sorry to hear that TOM is increasing your anxiety. I have not only a lightheaded feeling, but a breathless one as well. When I take a deep breath, I feel wobbly, like I might pass out. I am not sure what's behind these complaints during TOM. They're unpleasant & hard to cope with. I keep busy as much as I can. Keep myself distracted with activities I enjoy. I allow myself 15/20 minutes tops to worry that *there might be something physically wrong with me.* If I don't set a limit, I'll fret
Thanks Jan...and yes I am feeling better anxiety wise anyway today...still really tired and whatnot...but that I am used to during it the last few months lol...and yes I am watching the Oscars tonite!! I am pulling for Little Miss Sunshine too I actually watched that yesterday afternoon and liked it alot...that helped calm me down and today its nasty here..freezing rain and some snow and I LOVE Sex and The City so I am going to rest and curl up and watch that and yak at my grandma on here....that seems to relax me the most and it makes me feel lazy in a way lol but curling up with a blanket and watching something i love just calms me down and makes me feel better, or doing anything around the house...which today i actually dont have anything to do around here lol...are you going to watch the Oscars? I thank you for letting me vent and your support...the good thing is is that my anxiety level is much lower than what it usually is around my period...i just feel like crap till i start taking my bc pills again which will be this coming thursday but i look at the low anxiety level as a very good thing...now if the rest of my body would just oblige that would be aces!! lol...so what have you done this weekend? I went out shopping a bit on fri before i saw my psych...was proud of myself lol...dh was with me too and that helps...but anyway thank you for your support, and i will see you on here and in chat tues...big hugs!!

I also have Anemina and that in its self isn't to pleasent. I hope you cont. to feel better, and find the answers your seeking..

Hey you! Haven't seen you on here lately. Sorry, it sounds like you were going thru a rough time. I will say a little prayer for you. HUGS!!!

So were you happy with the Oscars? I only was able to watch bits 'n pieces. I was sitting in my chair when someone opened the door behind me. It was my dd. Some woman brought her home because her son was a drug addict & she KNEW that no mother would want her dd living on the street. OMG! I cannot convey the anger & frustration I feel. I did NOT have the fight left in me to call the police again.
The woman had driven 2 1/2 hours. What could I say? She bent my ear off telling me how she knew exactly what I was going through. She knows NOTHING! I had to quickly hide my purse, credit cards, checks,
Hey Mandi...did you get my last message before your sisters wedding? I think I was talking about our mutual love for handbags lol...but my comp been acting up a bit lately so I wasnt sure if you had gotten it or not. I am feeling better today, thank you for the prayers!! I just hate this time of the month, but on the bright side my anxiety has not kicked up as much this time...it usually gets pretty bad during my period, but I feel more balanced out this time which is a good thing...my naturopath is taking good care of me and since I have been feeling better, maybe im finally getting this whole thing under control lol...I still have one more round of hormone testing to go through and then hopefully that is over with for awhile lol...so how have you been doing? write me back and let me know....I have missed you!! big hugs

Krista,
Hey girl...yeah, I am pretty sure I got your message before my sisters wedding. It has been a crazy year so far. With the wedding two weeks ago and we just went to King of Prussia, Pa for his family reception. I feel like I have been going 100 mph hour.
I am glad you are feeling better. We all have our bad and good days. It sounds like you are in good hands. Does it boost your confidence when you feel like you have some control over your anxiety? Like when you expect it to get rough and it doesn't?
To pick up where we left off...the bag obsession! I love designer bags. When I am carrying one of my bags I always feel like I am on top of the world. In baggy sweats and a white t-shirt, if I have my Louie I feel like I am dressed in heels and a ball gown. Probably sounds a bit corney, but it's soooo true!
How did you like Greys last week? I was on the edge of my couch the whole time. I was screaming at the t.v. " You cannot let her die!" Mr. Mcdreamy was soooo heartbroken. And the end, with Denny and Izzy, it made me want to cry! That show is AMAZING! I have been waiting to talk to you about that episode since it aired.
Overall, I am doing well. We are now onto our next assignment...the babyshower! My sis's belly is growing by the week. She is now like 4 and a half months. It's soooo cute! I hope all is well with you. Let me know how everything turns out with your dr. and in general what's going on with you.
I am really glad I joined this message board, I feel like I have found a new friend:)
