It's steadily getting worse and now I can't sleep at night. I'm still terrified of ovarian cancer even though I had a scan in Nov. A small collapsing cyst was seen on one ovary but she couldn't see the other one so I'm worried something is on that one:blush: My symptoms have reduced and are more cyclical so my Dr thinks it's probably endometriosis but I'm waiting for a gynae referral.
My dizziness is also really bad and it's not helped my being anemic. I can't take any form of iron, even the spatone as it gives me terrible stomach cramps. I read online about poly iron but I don't think you can get it over here, does anyone know? I try and eat iron rich foods and some days it's not too bad, but others are awful. I feel so dizzy, light headed and m eyes feel like a pressure is over them, sort of feels like when you do that silly cross eyed thing as kids!
Add to that, one of my best friends took his own life before Xmas and this week wold have been his birthday. I'm a bit of a mess.
On the bright side I have started counselling through my uni with a counsellor who is trained in CBT techniques. I need to get a hold on this HA and anxiety in general as it's making me feel so unwell and can't sleep! I fall asleep ok but can't stay asleep and spend around 3-4 hours each night lying there. Weirdly I don't feel tired in the day but I think that's the adrenaline.
Not only that, I have 4 essays due in in the next 2 weeks and I've only done half of one. I just can't get started, I'm pathetic.
