Does anyone else have irregular periods?

Female 29, been on all kinds of medication for my thyroid over the past ten years. I’m currently on 137 mcg of levothyroxine.

I also have anemia, and have had a blood transfusion a few years ago. I absolutely hate birth control, but they want me to go on it again because it apparently helps regulate periods. Is it because of my thyroid, severe stress and anemia?

I will legit be on my period for a whole month and then miss it, to then spotting. It’s all over the place. I’ve had a pap done and everything is normal, same with blood work. So I’m just wondering if any of you have dealt with this and if it really does have to do with my thyroid issue?

Black spot on scoliosis xray?

I am waiting for my appointment to discuss, but I can wait until then. What is it?

u/vintage-angel-juice — 6 days ago

Have an appointment in two weeks to discuss my x-Ray. I’m very scared.

Female 29, roughly 60 degree Cobb angle. I was able to get my X-ray back but I’m not sure about the details. I’m petrified they are going to say something bad. It looks roughly the same from when I had my last x-Ray. I’m also a hypochondriac so that doesn’t help.

What were your follow up X-ray appointments like? What do they discuss?

Female 29- For context I have legitimate health issues (severe scoliosis, hypertension, hypothyroid & anemia) Not to mention mental health issues as well: Mainly OCD & hypochondriac.

For years I have had on and off migraines and headaches and even saw a Neurologist a few years ago. He wasn’t concerned at all. I am convinced I have a brain tumour, brain cancer, or early on set dementia.

Now it’s gotten worse and I have them more often. I can get bad tension headaches, pulsating sensations, and can feel it in all parts of my head. I sometimes stumble on my words and can’t think of simple words as well. I don’t throw up or have any blurry vision though. I have chronic stress so that could play into it.

Anyways, I am awaiting an appointment to see a Neurologist. I can’t help but think the absolute fucking worst, and it’s ruining my life.

Female 29, I’ve had bad headaches & migraines for years- and even saw a neurologist maybe three years back and everything seemed normal.

I will say I have chronic stress and severe scoliosis. So I’m wondering if maybe that’s why I’m getting more of them lately? I also have high blood pressure too but on meds for them now.

I’ve never thrown up from a migraine, but I feel drunk (I’m sober) and a lot of pulsating pain. I’ve had so much blood work done for other things that everything comes out normal. Does this seem like a red flag?

Female 29, 280 pounds (on a weight loss journey) with a 60 degree Cobb angle. Not to mention I have other health issues, but I’m awaiting to see a new spinal doctor.

In the meantime, my health anxiety is taking over like mad crazy. I keep overthinking I’m going to die. Especially since I’m technically obese with high blood pressure (on medication and actively losing weight). I just feel so lost. Can anyone else relate?
