Welcome

Helen - I can sympathise with your feelings of feeling fed-up. I feel the same sometimes.

Last night I was thinking back to how different life was a year ago - before all this happened. I felt so different then. I know I should be grateful for having caught this early, but sometimes I hate the menopause symptoms, they wear me out, and the constant chest tightness and cording problems in the arm. Last year I was so well, now I have all these physical annoyances that I'm stuck with for the rest of my life.

...and then everyone tells you "how well you look"!...and sometimes I say "well, thanks, but I often don't feel so great" and they just say "well, you look great".

Don't get me wrong, I REALLY appreciate every day I walk this earth and love my family, and I only feel sorry myself sometimes .... but sometimes its all a bit over whelming and I wish I could turn back the clock...

Most of the time though I just kick myself in the butt and get on, no point wallowing in self pity, and it is a Beautiful World.
