Lady married with son of 23. 57 years old. Does not work, took care of the son while growing up to take him try out sports and other activities while at school and University. Loves kayaking and is part of a club. Dislikes the politics within the club – she describes this as “too many egos!” Her freedom to kayak is very important to her and her husband is supportive, allowing her to go off for a few days kayaking at any particular time.
People and confrontation cause her stress. Finds it difficult to prioritise and multi-task due to low mental energy. Has a strong immune system and seldom has colds. She had a fit and healthy childhood in a supportive, loving family. From 2010 she has been unable to wear metals on her skin except for gold as it causes a skin reaction. She avoids wheat as it causes a skin rash and makes the digestion sluggish. Often suffers bouts of diahorrea.
Reasons for Seeking Assistance:
- To help get more motivation to do things
- Help becoming more resilient to what happens in life
Background
Suffers from Vitamin B12 deficiency for which she self-injects and every 3 months gets an injection on the NHS since Jan 2024
Vitamin D deficiency, takes 10,000 iu daily
Suffered very bad PMS since teens. Started on contraceptives in 1985, feels that is the cause
Took contraceptives until menopause at 45 then stopped
PMS affected work and led to depression in 1999
PMS gradually got worse while taking contraceptive pill. GP’s and specialists tried many things over the years, but nothing helped until menopause at 45
Mother and sister also experienced menopause at 45
1999/2000 son born, didn't go back to work. Just worked in a series of part time jobs
Hysterectomy (womb) in 2016
2004 Terminated a child due to chromosome disorder – “Edwards syndrome” as was unlikely to survive. Husband made the decision to terminate. She feels it was right due to how this might have affected her first born
2006 was put on anti-depressants and weened herself off over the last 6 months (2024)
2015 Polyps removed from bowel, one quite sizeable and consultant commented that it is “one step away from cancerous.”
2016 Hysterectomy to try to resolve the pain, but it didn't. Oestrogen patches help a bit.
2022 – blood tests showed B12 and Vit D deficiency. Vit D treated but refused further treatment when asked 6 months later to repeat. Refused B12 injections so took B12 tablets
2003-2024 Memory issues and crippling fatigue. Different GP put on B12 injections which have helped a lot. At same time started high dose Vit D against the Drs advice which gave her the possibility to decrease and stop taking anti-depressants
2024 – Before B12 injections kicked in (took about 3 months) had chest pains. 2 visits to A & E. Diagnosed with Costochondritis
Suffers stiff joints and pains in back and shoulders on either side of spine, especially lower back and knees. Sees an osteopath which helps.
Sleep regime
Sleeps 9-10 hours from approximately 11pm to 9am, does not feel refreshed. Vit B12 helps with improved sleep. Can wake in the night with circulating thoughts finding it difficult to get back to sleep.
Medication
Evorel oestrogen patches 2 x weekly since 2018 – helped with PMS during menopause. Menopause now complete, still using patches.
