I need to get back on the cross stitching for Xmas :) Walking ok but doesn't bring any relief and if do for too long = a lot of discomfort between the legs :( x

I've seen a registrar at colorectal surgery and obv GP. She dud mention seeing someone at chronic pain clinic, but GP seems to think it's ok to be in pain allday everyday, so much so it's affecting my life... :( I was hopeful hospital would help but refused as 'we only look into thessurgical...

It's most likely a rectocele (basically my dr thinks my bowel has prolapsed into my vagina - yuck!).

Thanks :) I appreciate it ;)

So after seeing specialist and GP, they won't give me any pain relief for abdominal/back pain as it'll ininteract with my other medications/health conditions :( So I've just got to put up with being in constant pain - it's been over 4 months now!!! I'm going out to invest in a hot water bottle...

Saw specialist on Thursday, to say it was torture, anxiety and flashback inducing is an understatement!! :( 1st of all I was called into the room, then left on my own for a good 5 mins whilst a bundle of anxiety. She then came in and took a brief history - she was rather rude when she found out...

The p medication was promethazine! (I finally received letter from psych today after dr printed it off for me!). I'm going to talk to my dr next time I see him about changing to it, or trazodone/amytriptaline were also mentioned, but these can still cause weight gain. And I need to speak to dr...

I'm a teacher too and know what you mean. There's a big divide at school where I'm an organised, confident, fun and engaging teacher. And at home where I struggle to look after myself. I can't do any work at home so have to fit it all into the school day X

I would say is lower dose isn't working then maybe ur already building up a tolerance? :( Beta blockers are helpful during the day but haven't helped me sleep as such, but stops me being in hypervigilence mode which means I'm more likely to sleep... X

I've used diazepam in the past (& will continue to as it works for me!) but only for short periods e.g. a week. Most I've taken it for is probably 6 weeks. It is so addictive my psych wouldn't prescribe it for me. 30mg a day seems like a very high dose to me, I deffo couldn't function On that...

Needed here too! ;) After my psych saying I need to work on sleep & therapist saying I already it all, I'm stuck not knowing what to do so I can get off Mitazapine and loose weight :s xxx

I'm on fybogel at the mo which doesn't really help - issue isn't to do with it not being loose, it just won't come out ;) Haha!! I did try laxido but the cramping was unbearable'! :(oh & far too loose ;) LOL! I'm on iron tablets at the mo as I've developed anaemia because of it :( which despite...

Thanks Gizmo :) I thought things were getting better as no bleeding, but after straining it's back :'( Urgh! Can't wait to get this sorted!! Xxx

Thanks :) Yep, looked it all up online and everything fits. His thinking was I'm young and will heal, hmmm... No! Just like my acid reflux was meant to go away on it's own and never has... Xxx

Thanks :) Nope, not had a hysterectomy and only 30! lol! ;) My GP seems to think it'll go away with pelvic floor exercises... Hmmm.. I think not!!! X

So, I finally have an appointment (after being quite assertive with my GP!) to see a colorectal surgeon for a consultation about my rectocele on 20th November! = Yey! But also eeeek!! What should I expect? GP said I'm going to have to let them look and examine me = flashback hell, I think I'll...

Too true... X

Exactly... Sigh... I know why, she cares and wants me to be physically healthy - I've put on a lot of weight with mitazapine and now got health issues and need to loose weight, but it's easier said than done... Xxx

@Ayesha - I'm on lamotrigine which is working well, we're going to Inc now to a therapeutic dose. Bipolar diagnosis actually a good thing - I'm also diagnosed as as borderline personality disorder so a step forward to get my mood instability recognised as something internal and longer lasting...

So, I've been doing really well emotionally at the mo. My psych has discharged me & added Bipolar to my diagnosis which is positive. But I'm feeling stagnant in therapy. I haven't achieved anything in weeks and my T is starting to bore me with her lectures & starting to sound like a broken...

Maybe worth considering something like a beta blocker e.g propanolol or atenolol - they did wonders on ny anxiety, & not psychometric drugs... Xxx

Awesome thanks, I'll speak to my GP :) x

Thanks ;) I probably can't take prazosin then as I'm already on blood pressure meds (atenolol) for sinus tachycardia and anxiety. I looked it up on Google - looks like it's used for nightmares in PTSD. I very rarely have nightmares, intact I very rarely remember my dreams at all!! I used to have...

Thanks @Snowwhite and @Seagreen :) It's taken 19yrs to finally get someone to understand me and listen! Hopefully things will now stay stable... I'm optimistic though - I have a great job I love and everyone is so supportive and good friends - I've gotten rid of all the bad influences in my...

Thanks Laurie ;) I've been on it on and Off for 10yrs. Always makes me put on a lot of weight. I stopped it abruptly 2 yrs ago and that ended in 4months off work, a major breakdown and being diagnosed with PTSD deffo not going back there!! Said to psych when I first came of quetiapine (after...
