Yesterday and today have been much better. The depression lifted and with it, most of the fatigue. I've been able to get to the gym and to yoga, as well as some long walks. Still waking sporadically in the night which is annoying. But am enjoying socialising again. Today I treated myself to a meditation stool with a lovely purple cushion, and a chart of yoga asanas to get me in the mood and remind me of what I'm supposed to be doing. Also a book about treating fatigue with yoga. Have added to my ridiculous tally of supplements black cohosh and dong quai for the menopausal symptoms.
Saw my trick cyclist today and discussed tapering down the Sodium Valproate. She was not against the idea. She gave me a prescription for some lower-dose tablets to make it easier to taper. In the BMD or whatever it's called it apparently said therapeutic dose is between 1 and 2 grams. But she said that doesn't mean you have to take that much. Psychiatry eh? Talk about an inexact science!
The doc phoned and said she had written me a prescription for something called Femoston. I don't want the Mirena coil after all. Negotiating the world of HRT is a minefield. The hot flushes have been better the last two days.
Lots of love everyone...Zoe.
