You know mate I think your spot on just been posting Dawn and she has the same problem, so does Clare. When I first got ill, I instinctively thought my hormones were certainly involved in some way as my normal 28 day cycle went erratic and I ended up having 3 periods in 4 weeks. I have told numerous docs about this and what have they done, yes I bet you guessed it , offered me anti- depressants, even when Ive explained the symptoms I had cancerous cells burnt off my cervix 6 years ago Ive also informed them of this as Im suppose to go for a test every year, but that was when I lived down South. since Ive been back in the Midlands I havnt been offered one single check. Funny enough my mum had the same thing at the same age. My conclusion the doctors here are a complete waste of time. They have made that of my life and my families hell. I just said to Dawn I wish we could all live in a huge commune and get alternative therapists in who know what they are doing and the kids could hang out together. I think this modern world stinks and Ive told Keith that if I have it out with the doctor and he suggests nothing new I am definately taking myself off to the coast somewhere camping and isolated. Did it last year didnt want to come back lots of love Tracy
