Updates that might help someone
Hi all. I don’t post or comment often. But I have posted before. I have fibro, osteoarthritis, RA and ADHD. (Found out when I hit peri.) I get treatment through the VA. I have been on a cocktail of meds for over 20 years. I am very lucky to have a team that is amazing. I am weeks away from being in menopause. Fingers crossed but I have had an issue with being blah about everything. It’s been hard to get any interest in anything. My OB put me on HRT without me asking last year. He is amazing. But lately I’m so tired all the time. I can just sleep for hours and hours. They put me on lexapro which helped.
Yesterday, I went and spoke with him again. My primary sent in a request for an at home sleep study but they wanted a full check of all systems. 😜 He explained about Serotonin Syndrome that can occur with meds, life changes etc. I am waiting on new medications and to see how they work out. But I wanted to share that here. If you have chronic conditions that may be impacted by this and you might want to research it more.
Just hoping this helps! Sending love to you all.
