Should I Seek Medical Attention Or Ignore Things?!

Hi.

Lockdown 3 has been a little stressful but some strange things are happening in regards to my health which didn’t happen during the other two lockdowns. My monthly cycle stopped a couple of months ago and instead, replaced itself with tummy/hip/back spasms and a suspected urine infection which has now gone after I kept drinking a ton of water and cranberry juice. My body however randomly feels washed out and that someone has run me over with a tractor. I’ve lost some scalp hair and wake up 5-6 times in the night for no reason most of the time. I get some cramp aches sometimes but it’s more sharp, stabbing pains. Always feeling tired even after doing the littlest thing, nauseous, back ache. I’m definitely not pregnant as I’m single and haven’t been out of the family house at all except to do food shopping and sit in the garden. I do have IBS but it’s never stopped my cycles like this. My family and friends want me to go to A+E but I’ve laughed it off saying it’s nothing and that I have a strong fear of needles. I do take a daily vitamin tablet and haven’t missed any doses.

Any idea what I should do? Most of the doctors and NHS 111 in my area are useless and have had nasty experiences with them over the last few years!

  • Oh no, this sounds really scary. What is your age? Are you vegan? When I was vegan, I stopped having a cycle in hs when I was vegan--apparently I'm anemic. If you were to see a Dr. a specialist in thyroid---thyroid dysfunction affects hair growth, cycles, sleep, mood, energy, heart rate, temperature. Your endocrine system runs everything. I started increasing brazil nuts, since they are high in selenium which converts t4 to t3 the active form bc I don't want to get back on thyroid meds & am trying to do it naturally.....but if I have to I will.  

  • Early 20s, not vegan. I’ve had tests for anaemia before but have always come back negative :(

    Thanks!
