Feeling Yuck

Posted 13-Jul-2008 at 08:01 by RainbowGoddess

I feel so rubbish today. My skin looks grey and my hair has gone from blonde to mousy and I am just soooo tired.

I have to go to work at 10 but I really don't feel like it, yesterday was manic and I ended up having to come home and leave them in the lurch. I have been having gynae problems for a while now, almost constant periods and yesterday I just started haemorraging, I could literally feel it running out of me, after an hour of sitting on checkout I had to ask to be excused to use the toilet I thought I might get away with just putting an extra pad on but after another 2 hours I just had to ask again, the supervisors really were rushed off their feet and there were queues everywhere so I really don't blame my supervisor for showing obvious impatience but it's not like I ever ask in between breaks so I told her I was haemorraging, she was more sympathetic and told me to go to perssonnel. I sorted myself out first and because of hormones or feeling dizzy or something, perhaps the sheer embarrassment of having to tell the personnel manager what was wrong (because they hardly ever let anyone go home even when it is not busy) I started crying, as if the situation wasn't bad enough! To top it off the Personnel manager was helping on he shop floor and I had to go and find him and tell him thorugh a mass of tears then I had to go back and tell my supervisor.

I am so embarrased about going in today and as it's overtime I don't know if they will even let me stay because of missing half my normal shift. I half hope they do because I really need the money but half of me just wants to go back to bed and curl up , not that that would happen, I can't see DH and kids allowing that anyway.

I am sorry for going on and on about this and I know it's not nice reading but there is something therapeutic about writing it all down.

aw hun don't apologise!! it sounds like you're having a really rough time!! can you go to the doc or anything about your periods?

I'm sure they understand at work, well the female staff should at least! I hope you've had a good day if you did pluck up the courage to go in, and if not i hope you're tucked up!!

much love xxxx

Butterfly I went to the docs a couple of weeks ago and he prescribed tranexamic acid to stop the bleeding but I hadn't had time to go to the pharmacy and I was kind of hoping that I wouldn't need them, but I did go get them yesterday and have been taking them and they seem to be working.
Thanks both for your kind words. Work were fine btw and I feel much better now.

I went through the same thing as you. I bled non stop for 4 months. I could feel the clots passing. The doc tried many types of contraceptive pills but nothing worked. I eventually ended up in a & e totally anemic (?) afer fainting. In the end I got the marina coil fitted and the bleeding stopped that day!!!! Just stopped like turning off the tap. Guess what 7 years later I haven't bled since!! Going from constant to no bleeding is weird but such a relief. They never found out why it happened. I hope you feel better soon, i know we all need the money but please think of yourself and your health.

	$Bunny\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s Avatar$ RG that is awful! Not only the yuckiness and pain of bleeding that much, but then the indignity of having to tell people about it! I'm hoping that the meds really help you. Are you being referred for any gynae investigations? xxx

You would think I'd be referred wouldn't you but no. If these tablets do not sort me out in two months then the next step is to have a coil fitted, which, thanks to Edith's post I am quite confident about.

Thank you Edith, I was worried that like my mother, who had these problems at around my age I would end up having a hysterectomy but the coil wasn't offered as a treatment for her. I haven't really been in a rush to push for treatment because I was really worried that it would affect me getting into uni, stupid I know!

	Glad to help RG. I would recommend the coil. Its a lttle uncomfy putting it in but it is well worth it. Also if you are in a stable relationship it is so nice not having to worry about contraception!

	$Bunny\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s Avatar$ I can echo the coil being a hassle-free contraception choice - and the mirena is very well thought of because you get that bit of hormone too xxx

I was given tablets for constant bleeding (not sure what though) but i found i become terribly irritable on them. My hubby said it was like living with jekyll and hyde and stopped taking them and got the mirena coil and it has been fantastic lighter periods sometimes nothing.
Definitley worth looking into.
