Period Problems

[lauren_almighty]

I haven't had a period since March. I don't particularly miss it but I know it's not a good thing to have a missing period so I'm worried about it.

I've had a blood test recently and got the all clear. My doctor prescribed me hormone tablets to get them regular again but then I bleed for more than a month and I don't want that. Plus, the tablets make me feel sick and when I finish taking them, my periods are still missing afterwards.

I'm only 22 but I've heard of girls going through "the change" at my age. I get hot flushes all the time and I joke that it's the menopause even though the thought of it freaks me out!

I was recently diagnosed with stress and anxiety so I'm hoping that the missing periods is an effect of that.

I never thought I'd be looking forward to my next period. Oh, and I'm single so I'm definitely NOT pregnant! :o

I think what I want to know is what can I take to make me have my periods again. I want something herbal if possible. I also want reassurance that I'm not going through the menopause at my age. I've been worrying so much that even though it's an unlikely possibility, I still think it might have happened to me. :(

I'm gonna go back to the doctor but they all say the same things. They are useless!

Ms.'ALMIGHTY',With a name like that, are you sure you're not pregnant?

Have you had your Thyroid/Iodine levels checked out?
I have always thought there was a connection between the two since my wife had similar problems. She has Hypothyroidism and is now on 50mg Iodine per day.
If you go back to the doctor be firm and insist he/she investigates this.
Here is some info from a site I just found. Hope it helps. Stay happy and don't worry. :)


Link to page (http://www.thyroid-info.com/articles/menstruation.htm)

Many menstrual problems may be symptoms of undiagnosed thyroid conditions. Girls who have either very early or very late menstruation should be evaluated for a potential thyroid problem, as thyroid problems can frequently be a cause of early or delayed puberty and menstruation. In addition, any change in menstrual patterns - such as more or less frequent periods, the onset of substantially heavier or lighter periods, or the lack of periods entirely, should trigger a thyroid evaluation by your physician.

Thyroid disease is frequently the reason behind problems with a woman's menstrual cycle.

The linkage between thyroid disease and the menstrual cycle is not well understood by medical professionals, but there are some established linkages between menstruation and thyroid disease that are well-established.

If you cut processed foods, meat, and dairy from your diet: that could be why.

Have you had DepoProvera birth control shots in the past? Anxiety of course can be a prime candidate, along with Thyroid - Pituitary hormones and Adrenals. As you will be aware the accepted menopause stage for women in the west is 45-55.

[relaxicab]

Lauren, i have PCOS and my periods are non-existant, but i find natural progesterone cream works wonders to regulate them. Give it a try. It's about £25 and worth every penny. :D

[oneofthemasses]

Second all of the above answers. Hyperthyroidism can present with hot flashes, "anxiety", etc. A simple blood test can rule it out but most doctors won't check for it in young women unless it is blatantly obvious. Missed periods are most common when thyroid levels are high, periods are usually heavier when levels are low. Do you otherwise feel OK? Usually people with thyroid, adrenal, etc. disorders severe enough to affect their periods feel quite ill. Do you have any other symptoms?

That said, it's pretty much impossible to say with so many possibilities.

If you've lost (or gained) weight recently that can throw off your period as well. So can excess exercise and/or extreme dieting. Stress and illness (like the flu) can too, but usually for not more than one month.

Although really rare, some women do go into premature ovarian failure due to an autoimmune destruction of the ovaries. This can happen at any age unfortunately. Someone already mentioned PCOS which is a different condition, but it can cause similar issues. Both of these things can be tested for.

Hopefully you can get things sorted out. :)

[mrs_lennon85]

I wouldn't like to speculate on what the reasons could be for this, as there are so many (and I'm by no means a medical expert :)) But what I would say, is go and see another doctor at your surgery. It's their job to help you, and you're obviously concerned about this. You're a young woman, you deserve to have the peace of mind that you're well, or have the right to know if there is something that's not 100%.

Ask the receptionist, or someone you know (even someone in the waiting room if you're quite forward! lol) who is a good female doctor at your surgery, and make an appointment with them.

If you get another recommendation elsewhere, move surgeries. That's what I did, and now I have a fantastic doctor who is understanding, you can have a laugh with her and she's very human if you know what I mean? Lovely woman. If your current doctor isn't helping you, try someone else who will.

All the best hun :)

Thanks for the replies.

I have recently become very unwell and I am now stuck in bed. I am dizzy all the time, too hot, have really bad headaches, feeling really sick, throwing up, have increased appetite, increased thirst, I'm feeling weak and shaky, I can't sleep properly and my periods still haven't returned.

I'm going to the doctors tomorrow and I am going to demand that they test me for Hyperthyroidism. I need to know what is wrong with me. I feel like I'm dying.

This is a true story. A friend of mine had not had a period for over 2 years, had polycystic ovaries and despaired of ever having children.

She started using Mexican Yam cream, it helps the body to create it's own hormones which is far better than an outside process doing it. The body knows what it needs to do, so once it has the right tools to do it, it will make a better job of it.

Her ovaries cleared up over the course of 2 months, periods started after 3 months, pregnant after a year.

Also, my sister used to get terrible period pains, and started using it. The pains went completely after 1 month!

Do it.

You could be right there ekim. Pain is a sign of dehydration and could be cured by a simple process of drinking water and salt.
I have posted previously about the amazing benefits of Salt and Water to cure many illnesses and rehydrate the body.
If you can download the video I posted and look at it maybe it will be of benefit to you.

Please take a look at my thread here: http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showthread.php?t=125506

The brain can only handle slight decreases in hydration and your body will start to take water from other areas of the body to keep hyrdated, many illnesses start this way as without water/oxygen cells acidify creating an ideal environment for illness to breed.

Lauren, your body is sceaming for water/oxygen.

Acupuncture. Very good for anything to do with hormones.

[lauren_almighty]

Thankyou all for your advice.

I saw the doctor yesterday and she didn't think there was anything wrong with me but booked me in for a blood test to check my hormones. She also made me do a pregnancy test even though I told her I'm not pregnant and 100% sure of it. Anyway, the test was negative. No surprise there. :rolleyes:

I got a call today about the blood test results and they said my hormones are abnormal and I have to go back in 1 bloody month for another blood test to check that it's not an anomaly and then I have to have a review with the doctor. 1 month is too long!

I am not feeling so bad today. I have been sleeping alot, taking vitamins, eating healthily and drinking alot of water. I thought I could have been severely dehydrated because I used to get mild dehydration in the past but I drink way too much for it to be that.

At least I'm getting somewhere with the doctors now. My doctor looked at me as though I was lying. She sent me off for the blood test and didn't even say what my mystery illness could be if it wasn't hormone related. She never even said it was a virus! But I'm just going to look after myself until my next appointment and if something happens in the meantime I will book in sooner if I can.

[icke_is_right]

Sounds like your main problem is stress and anxiety, therefore getting your mind in order is a priority. The mind and how you think are one of the main factors in illness. You do shape your own reality regarding your own health via thought.

Worrying about being ill can be awful. I've done it and it's wonderful to let go of it all. Eckhart Tolle helped me with this but many people view his philosophy as evil.

Acupunture via a good Chinese doctor are generally very, very relaxing. I've had a couple of week long gcourses of acupunture and there is nothing like it to restore energy and wellbeing.

You can also do your own massage on accupressure points if you do a search on Utube.

I mentioned Oil of Oregano earlier so figured I'd just post a few quotes from sites with information.

I have found out that Oil of Oregano promotes menstruation. I do not usually follow a 28 day cycle, it usually takes up to 35 days. I have been taking Oil of Oregano for the last 2 days (10 drops a day), and now my cycle ended at 25 days!! What a miracle.

I recommend Oil of Oregano to anybody who has difficulty in following a normal cycle.

LINK (http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=52926)

Nineteenth-century American Eclectic physicians (doctors who recommended herbal medicines) employed oregano as both a general tonic and to promote menstruation.
Are there any side effects or interactions? Oregano should not be used during pregnancy as it stimulates menstruation and may cause miscarriage.

LINK (http://www.mothernature.com/Library/Ency/Index.cfm/Id/2140005)

Oil of oregano is a powerful emmenagogue, meaning that it naturally promotes menstrual flow and activity. Any agent that promotes menstrual flow during pregnancy should be avoided, since this could put the fetus at risk for losing the protective lining that surrounds it in the womb.

Oregano Oil

Oregano(Origanum Compactum) has powerful antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal and antiparasitic properties Oregano(Origanum Compactum) has powerful antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal and antiparasitic properties and may aid in the ability to balance metabolism and strengthen the vital centers of the body.

Oregano has ancient uses. For hundreds of years it has been relied upon as a health enhancer and disease fighter. So if you wish to stimulate your body's functions to improve your digestion, metabolism, and circulation, use Oil of Oregano every day.

Oil of oregano has been found to be "extremely bactericidal" in its action against 8 strains of bacteria including E coli, Salmonella and Staphylococcus. Oil of oregano is a potent germ killer.

Jean Valnet, in his book The " Practice of Aromatherapy", describes how oil of oregano superceded anti-inflammatory drugs in reversing pain and inflammation and is nearly as powerful as morphine as a painkiller.

The oil also possesses significant antioxidant power.
Furthermore, it stimulates the flow of bile, which greatly aids digestion.

References:
At Cornell University, research has shown it was effective against 30 different germs. A University of Tennessee study found Oil of Oregano to be useful against 9 different harmful food borne microbes.

In Holland scientists found that carvacrol, one of Oregano's components, did an excellent job in inhibiting food borne Bacillus bacteria.

(Origanum compactum) has a heavy, spicy, pungent aroma that creates feelings of security. It has strong immune-enhancing qualities and also supports the respiratory and digestive systems. The chemo-type of Young Living's® Oregano is Carvacrol. Oregano has an approximate ORAC of 153,007 (TE/L). TE/L is expressed as micromole Trolox equivalent per liter.

Unlike antibiotics that can cause kidney failure, Oregano is safe when applied or consumed as directed.

Oregano oil is a powerhouse for:
fighting yeast, fungus (skin and blood-born) knocking our allergies, hay fever, and sinusitis stopping infections (cold and flu).

MODERN USES FOR THERAPEUTIC GRADE OREGANO
Current usage of Oregano Oil is soaring. Current medical research has found the phenol, Carvacol, to be the active biochemical in Therapeutic Grade Oregano that provides the anti-microbial action and immune building properties. Wild Oregano has an immediate impact on acute germ inundation and it can be used daily of for those prone to getting sick.

Natural Decongestant
Carvacrol, Flavonoids, and Terpenes are Mother Nature's antihistamines and decongestants. Our Therapeutic Grade Oil of Oregano has always over 80% Carvacrol. That is an abundance of healing power. Please beware of cheap imitations.

Anti-Allergy Properties
Every potential allergy sufferer needs to know that wild oregano is capable of halting your next allergy attack in its tracks. It is effective, reliable, and safe. Over-the-counter drugs have side effects, and they are not your only option. Try a natural approach first. Don't be a victim of allergies any more. Therapeutic Grade Oregano overpowers them every time.

Antibacterial Agent
Therapeutic Grade Oregano is an excellent antibacterial agent. Its volatile oils are highly active against the majority of pathogenic bacteria, including staph, strep, and E.coli.

Antifungal
Fungal resistance to Therapeutic Grade Oregano oil is exceptionally rare. Oregano is such a potent antifungal agent that it is capable of destroying even resistant fungal forms such as the mutated fungi which result from antibiotic therapy.

Internal Ingestion
When taken orally, Therapeutic Grade Oregano can produce a hot and spicy sensation and taste. Consider it as an antibacterial herbal medicine that will kill the microbes on contact.

Wild Oregano Has Been Relied Upon as a Therapeutic Herb Since Antiquity
Few people realize that wild oregano has been relied upon as a therapeutic herb since antiquity. About 3000 B.C. the Babylonians described it as a cure for lung and cardiac disease. They also used it for wound healing
and venomous bites. The ancient Greeks used wild oregano for healing wounds, destroying infections and reversing lung and cardiac disorders.

In the book, Salmon's Herbal, written in the 1600's, oregano oil is highly valued and recommended for chest, menstrual, uterine, lung and digestive complaints. Specific uses mentioned include: diarrhea, asthma, colds, infections of the female sexual organs and uterine tumors. Additionally, its value against liver disorders is emphasized.

In Garden of Health (1633), William Langham described an even wider range of uses including such diverse conditions as bladder trouble, bleeding, heart failure, head pain, itchy skin, mouth pain, spots on the skin, stomachache, intestinal worms and toothache. Oregano oil has always been relied upon as an emergency medicine.

Oregano oil is well known in the Mediterranean world (Greece and Crete) for its ability to slow down food spoilage because of its anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-parasitic and anti-oxidant abilities.

Oil of Oregano is a completely natural substance derived from the wild oregano species. The plant grows in remote mountainous regions free of pollution. Only the leaves of the flowering plant are used. They are picked precisely when the plant is highest in essential oil. Being wild, it is grown chemical-free and the oil is extracted via a completely natural process - no chemicals or solvents are used. The oil is the source of virtually all of the plant's active ingredients.

I thought I could have been severely dehydrated because I used to get mild dehydration in the past but I drink way too much for it to be that.


Doesn't matter how much water you drink if it doesn't get absorbed or if it's full of chemicals which will require more water for your kidneys to filter it. I'm still leaning towards dehydration, this is always overlooked by doctors unless you are on your deathbed because of it.

are you feeling any better, Lauren? xx

I am fine at the moment. Thanks for asking. :)

I have to wait to have my blood test next month and then I will talk with the doctor about the results. My hormones were abnormal in my last blood test so they need to wait so they can check it is not an anomaly. I'll update once I've had the results.

I've been eating healthily and drinking lots of water and have been getting alot of rest so I don't feel half as bad as I did.

Hello Lauren, I hope it isn't anything serious and perhaps it isn't. Maybe it is dehydration or stress after all? If menses do not return and if you're not on birth control you take black cohosh, or chinese angelica to stimulate a period and regulate your hormones. And if your menses return these herbs help cramps. Kind of a lady cureall. take care!

[theoneandonly]

@lauren_almighty.. have you had a period yet?

Anyway Lauren, i hope you are feeling better.

Sorry I have no suggestions for your symptoms. I have not studied anything related to it.

[mahuika]

Lauren....I went through the EXACT same things as you. Anxiety, missed periods, thinking I had "DIS-EASES", researching about them on the internet all the time, going to the doctors all the time and more. Then I realized....IT IS ALL IN MY HEAD. I realized that I was stressed all the time, down on myself, that there were things that needed to be sorted out in my life and I was off here there and everywhere in terms of mentally AND spiritually. I then decided that I was going to get my life together, stop the negative thought patters and clean out my life in many ways. The biggest thing is this. When you feel in fear, like you are losing control or anything like that in life your "R(Reptilian)-Complex) starts to kick in which is the the part of your brain responsible for the "fight or flight" response and you begin to try and "control" aspects of yourself down to the most insignificant things like, "my period hasn't come so something MUST be terribly wrong with me". When normally most people would be like, "Oh okay, I'll just eat healthy, get some exercise in, get out of the house and get my mind of things and stop obsessing over this" and trust me, it works. This is only my opinion though from my past experience. Hope it helps huni

[godgoo]

Not that I don't anything about periods, I have researched the mentrual cycle subject at level three ;)

I hope you get better soon, lauren.

[manbearpig]

After having the pill injection only once my periods stopped for 6 months, luckily they returned to normal afterwards :)

I can empathise with you Lauren and hope you start to feel better soon :D

I think what I want to know is what can I take to make me have my periods again. I want something herbal if possible. I also want reassurance that I'm not going through the menopause at my age. I've been worrying so much that even though it's an unlikely possibility, I still think it might have happened to me. :(

I'm gonna go back to the doctor but they all say the same things. They are useless!

If you Meditate this will help relax you, I do this daily it does help loads get back to being relaxed. The mind can be a funny thing with all those negative thoughts floating around. The best thing to do is try your best to relax have a hot coco to soothe you or read a book. When you feel yourself getting worried think of a happy thought straight away, you will notice things will improve over time. Just a little tip.

Well here is the update after my recent blood test and doctor's appointment. Prepare yourselves for a big shock .....

I went back to see the doctor yesterday after having my blood test on Monday. She told me that my hormones are completely abnormal and that I am going through a premature menopause because my ovaries have failed. I am only 22.

She has referred me to a specialist and I have to wait about a week to get a letter from them and then it will be about another 6 weeks until I have my appointment. I will have a biopsy done on my ovaries so they can find out what is wrong with them and why they failed so early. She said that because I am so young that there may be an underlying cause such as resistant ovary syndrome which I think is temporary. But she said it's highly likely that it is just the menopause and that means it is irreversible and I can never have children because I don't produce the right hormones to let me get pregnant. If I want a baby of my own in the future I will have to have IVF using eggs from a donor or have my own eggs removed.

I will have to have hormone replacement therapy (HRT) because I am not making the right hormone. This is why I have been unwell. The doctor says my symptoms will probably have been more severe than normal menopausal women who get it when they are older. The hot flashes I were having were horrible and unbearable sometimes. I'm lucky I don't work because I would have been sacked.

When I went to the second Lady Gaga concert (it's funny I should mention her but it's one of the times I remember being so ill from my symptoms) it was spoiled for me because I was sweating so much and had to sit down the whole time. Even on the car journey to and from the concert, I had the air conditioning fans blasting icy cold air at me and when they were turned off I immediately broke out into a sweat when I should have been freezing.

I was relieved more than horrified when she told me what it was because finally I had an answer to why I was feeling so bad. I don't know how I feel at the moment though. I am still in shock and it's like the seriousness of it hasn't hit me yet. I just can't believe that I am menopausal at 22. It sounds ridiculous. I am extremely annoyed that it has happened to me of all people because I'd be an awesome mum and some poor souls are being robbed of a good mum. :(

It's not a common thing for a young person to go through but it's not rare either. I read somewhere online that it affects 1% of the population. I'm in that 1% and that is just shocking. Nobody expects anything like this to happen to them. To be honest I expected something like cancer but not to be told I'm menopausal. I suppose I should count myself lucky that I am not terminally ill but this is something that has affected my whole life. I feel bad for my mum because I have ruined her chance of becoming a grandmother unless she has another baby before she herself is menopausal. She is only 40. It's unbelievable that I am menopausal before all my older female relatives. I'm sat here typing this and shaking my head in disbelief.

I will keep you all updated on what the specialist says in a few weeks time. Lets hope that it is something temporary that can be reversed even if it's not very likely. I'm being positive about it. :)

I'm so sorry to hear this Lauren, what an awful (and rare) thing to find out.

I have had a quick look on curezone.com which is an excellent site for all kinds of health related information, you might want to have a good look on here when you get time, there could be some very valuable advice from people who may be in your situation, or can help with advising treatments etc.

I hope you find some good info on there anyway, and things improve for you from now on.

I'm so sorry to hear that Lauren :(, I honestly don't know what to say to try and comfort you, just try to stay rested whilst you come to terms with it all. I know it's not the same thing but one day maybe you will be able to adopt a child, I know they wont be biologically yours but you would learn to love them as though they are your own I'm sure.
If you ever meet the man of your dreams there's always the chance for a part surrogacy and apply for a parental order which would name you on the birth certificate as the childs mother.

Please keep us updated.

The seriousness of it kind of hit me before. I feel bad like someone has died. I talked to my mum before and she said that she feels the same way.

Apart from that horrible feeling I think I'm really optimistic at the moment because it could be the temporary thing. I won't let it affect me until I 100% know it's the menopause or not.

I find it odd that my ovaries have just stopped and given up. There is no family history and the doctor said it usually happens to people going through chemo and radiation therapy. I guess I'm just extremely unlucky.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulin-like_growth_factor_2

he major role of IGF2 is as a growth promoting hormone during gestation.
In the process of Folliculogenesis, IGF2 is created by Theca cells to act in an autocrine manner on the theca cells themselves, and in a paracrine manner on Granulosa cells in the ovary. IGF2 promotes granulosa cell proliferation during the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle, acting alongside Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH). After ovulation has occurred, IGF-2 promotes Progesteron secretion during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle together with Luteinizing Hormone (LH). thus, IGF2 acts as a Co-hormone together with both FSH and LH.

Is there anything, significantly wrong with Insulin levels ? :)

Other possible causes would be too-stringent dieting with prolonged and severe weight loss, or excessive exercise such as road running or severe athletic training

Have you been dieting? Stressing?

I think your hormones are just out of sink. Nothin I could recommend, tbh.

I actually have menopausal symptoms. The doctor thought I was just stressed until the blood tests proved that the symptoms were indicative of premature menopause and ovarian failure. I think it's the oestrogen hormone I'm not producing. So really, I need to take the hrt to give me the hormone that I don't have. I will be seeing a specialist and having a biopsy soon anyway so I'll soon find out.

Hello Lauren, I hope it isn't anything serious and perhaps it isn't. Maybe it is dehydration or stress after all? If menses do not return and if you're not on birth control you take black cohosh, or chinese angelica to stimulate a period and regulate your hormones. And if your menses return these herbs help cramps. Kind of a lady cureall. take care!


I'm leaning towards it being stress related also.
Herbs are a great idea. Also she needs to look closely at her diet and exercise levels..:)

Is this another one of Curtis/Nicole's personalities? :confused:

Lauren/beastcop - girls, I've said this a few times now. I have good friends and my sister, who have had period problems, 'menopausal' problems and one with poly-cysitic ovaries.

Source out some mexican yam cream and use it dilligently for a month or so. It will enable your body to correct itself. Hormonal imbalance is always a root cause of period problems, and this stuuf helps you to make the missing hormone to provide that balance.

Do it. I totally am not bullshitting you about this.

I WOULD LISTEN.

That worried me too that it usually happens to people going through chemo. The doctor was baffled also and said she had never had to tell a twenty something year old that they are going through the menopause. But to be fair, she didn't know much about it and referred me to a specialist.

I've made my appointment with the specialist for 3 weeks time at a gynecology clinic so I will be closer to finding out the truth about what exactly is wrong with me. I'm a little bit scared and worried.

not to really propose a conspiracy (the last thing I want to do) but how many women are actually having these problems? I would like to do some research on if there might be something else going on. population control or something. but I dont want to make everyone paranoid until my findings are conclusive.

if any girls here have had these types of issues, please pm me to confirm it and say which date you have had it from. the reason for the pm's is so that cases dont get cross contaminated in a public post

Generations of birth control pill usage and water contamination from pharmaceuticals would be quite a significant factor.

[lauren_almighty]

Yes, that 'get well' thread must have worked! :)

Nope, the get well thread didn't work.

I said I would give an update after my results appointment. Unfortunately they said that it is premature ovarian failure which may lead to premature menopause (but luckily I haven't been having any of the symptoms). It means my periods will stop for long periods of time and will start up again at random times but it will affect my fertility. I got a period yesterday but it doesn't look or feel normal to me so I'm a little bit worried about that. It was a month late too.

They are monitoring my hormones and then I go back for even more results in March 2011. I have to wait that long because the clinic only runs on the first Thursday of every month. When I go back I will find out if I should store my eggs because I was told that I may have to rely on an egg donor in the future.

It sucks big time. :(

Evecare by Himalaya Herbal Healthcare is a natural medicine used for general ovarian problems. My period stopped for about 3 months, but started again after taking these for about 5 or 6 weeks. They were prescribed to me by my gyno due to pcos. I took them from Oct. 2009 to July 2010 and till now, my periods are still normal. Wishing you good health.

Hmm, I'm going through period problems as well but I'm having them too frequently :cool: I'm going to the doctors tomorrow, think it might be due to depression...

Hi Lauren,
check out Maca it might be of help to you (don't know if this has already been suggested).This place might be a start macamagic.com and read about it's reported benefits and the testimonials.
I've just started taking it myself to see if it's as good as it's claimed.
All the best.

P.S. Seeing as i just saw my name under the title period problems i would like to point out i'm male,whilst i may be suffering from the male menopause i.e. wanting a fast sports car,dating much younger women and sporting a gold medallion through an unbuttoned shirt i do not suffer with period problems in anyway shape or form.Hope this helps :)

[antiem]

Hey Lauren, what a horrible time for you, so much anxiety and sadness and fear.... :( I really hope that you having your period now brings a change....!
When I was 21 the gynecologist told me that I won't be able to have any kids as I had been anorexic for several years before that. I had never had my period naturally before that, only when I was on the pill. This was partly due to sexual abuse and violence in my childhood and teenager years though. I have found out the more I could let go and the more I relaxed and forgave myself the more my body reacted to it in a positive way. (I even have a child now)
What I'm trying to say here is that it might be helping to try to relax a bit more and change the way you think. You seem to have self fulfilling prophecies coming along, maybe it might help to not joke negatively as much about yourself.
Try to change your focus, this really helps.
Are you in therapy of some sort? At times psychotherapy helps to understand and deal with anxiety, if you find the right person, that is. :D
I really really wish you health and peace of mind, hopefully this won't get on for much longer. I'll think of you and send you all the angel armies I can get hold of. :) *hugs*

All my love, Antiem
