I am in my 50s going through menopause. I've been experiencing chronic fatigue and putting it down to menopause. Went to GP. Have had blood tests, xray, ultrasound and MRI scan. Going in to see GP next week for discussion about results. I haven't been able to focus on work, I've not told my son as I don't want him to worry and my sister is already getting upset so I am anxious not to worry her more.
I have been meditating and buddhist chanting, going for walks and generally keeping it in the day. However, today it has been playing in my mind. I reached out to a few friends and feel a bit distant from 'keeping it positive' and 'not to worry until I get the results'. I live on my own and I don't think that is helping.
I know worrying doesn't help anything but isn't it natural to feel anxious?
Symptoms atm are chronic fatigue, feeling bit dizzy, no appetite, lower back pain.
Has anyone got any tips on how to manage the anxiety around waiting for results??
