Hi everyone
It's been a while since I was here. Made some changes in my life and dress levels have been reduced significantly. Things are much better, doing some counselling/cbt finally (only took a five months wait) and I have been feeling more positive.
Something has been creeping into my head though. Perhaps a month or so ago I started getting hot flushes at night. I don't really know how long it has been going on for but one day I woke up literally soaked through with sweat. I could wipe it off me. I put it down to changing to my heavier duvet as the weather wasn't cold but had dropped. I thought maybe it was hormonal (though mid thirties not menopause).
The past week or so I just can't get warm. I feel like I'm needing to shiver inside but when I wrap up in bed I just sweat though I'm still shivering.
I just don't know what is wrong with me. I had recent blood tests, routine ones as I have had some tummy troubles, and they were all ok so I'm assuming no nasties lurking in my body?
Yesterday when I was outside I was freezing and my friends said it was pleasant. My fingernails had gone purple and my hands were cold.
I have been beating away the demon that is saying to me it's a circulatory problem and that my heart is failing. I know in the past I've had umpteen tests on my heart.
I've been so very tired lately as well. I never seem to regain any of my strength. I'd like to return to a level of fitness to add to my positive changes, but it seems small walks etc just wear me out. I feel twice my age.
Sorry for rambling on, just wondered if anyone had any experience? And I hope everyone is good who I used to chat to here.
