Found this site via recommendation and really hope you can help me put my mind at rest. I'm going through the dreaded menopause hence the username, and also as a DR phobic I haven't been anywhere near 'em for 8 years! Anyway, felt really bad with a night of meno symptoms and spoke to a nurse at the surgery the following day who instantly said I needed my bloods taken and booked me in for 8am on Wednesday morning and since then I have been nothing short of a mental wreck. Panic attack after attack...(I have made great friends with the toilet) and have dropped a dress size as well. The test is for full bloods and hormone levels and to be quite honest I feel pretty good in myself other then the mental train wreck - but I am UTTERLY convinced there is something wrong with me, and I know its entirely irrational.
The nurse was very vague about how long they take to come back - "Mon or Tues but they could be busy" , someone else has told me that I would have been phoned by now if there was something seriously wrong..........I have avoided phoning the surgery - but what would you do?
Incidentally I am also taking 10mg Citopralam and one capsule of Inositol - still feeling dreadful though.....am I just being stupid :huh:
I also live in Wales so not sure if they are quicker or slower...........
