Question

Hi everyone

I have a couple more things to ask you if you dont mind from the last time I posted about my useless docs and the second time about that horrible ovary pain
Well lately(last 2 months or so) Ive noticed my jeans domt fit me and im very confused about this as I funny about my weight anyway so dont eat loads of rubbish and I no I havent been eating more that usual(infact the opposite cos Ive been paranoid that im getting big!)iI Havent oput weight on anywhere else but I just cant seem to do any of my jeans up  

also my period is very heavy this time round but it always is really but this last week ive felt exhausted like I get up feeling like ive had no sllep and just dream all day abot coming home to bed
My manager moaning that I dont look happy and I need nto wake up which makes me feel worse!!!!

Yes, I am stateside!  But we have HMO's (health maint. org.) which can be a real pain in the tushy.  You have to use the dr. they tell you to, or get a referral to use someone outside of the plan.  If you do that, it costs more etc, etc, etc.!  So I do not know what is worse!

Birdcarver is right, get your thyroid checked!  Thanks to ins. companies we have to go through hell just to get the health care that we need.  This is so stupid!!!!!  I feel for you.  If you have really bad pain, go to the ER.  They have to take you and maybe this will fast track you to the medical attention you need.

When you see your doctor please have him check your thyroid levels. Weight gain and tiredness are both symptoms of an underactive thyroid - as are dry skin and being cold all the time. This is one of the most common afflictions women have and it is totally controllable with a simple pill every day! Just one thing to rule out - take care.

Hiya!

I cant make an appt with a gyn I have to be reffered,I dont know wether you read my other posts about all the probs ive had and that awful ovay pain ive been getting lately?
I have to wait 6-8 weeks for an ultrasound and my doc said if that doesnt show anything then she will go through a gyn to get me a lap.

Gatsby · Answer

Have you made an appt. with your gyn.?  Please do so as your symptoms sound the same as mine did when I had dermoids (benign).  You really need to see your dr.
