I am 45 and I am now experiencing so many changes in my body and mind.
YES – body AND mind!
I dislike going to the doctor, but this 2025 – is the year that I did the MOST number of doctor visits (for myself) in my entire life! I did my first CT scan, breathing test, a parotid ultra sound, blood tests and the like. Only to be told that – every thing is good!
I should be happy right? Right! But I’m still bothered by some things:
– My dry eyes (solved by eye drops)
– My dry mouth (still unsolved)
– My recurring rhinitis (solved with medication and dymista spray!)
– My massive hair loss (still unsolved and I’m really bothered with it)
Just last month, I experienced my first acid reflux. I honestly thought that it was indigestion. But as I was swallowing the pizza I was eating, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my throat! I thought I swallowed glass or a blade! It was like have a fish bone stuck on my throat. I had to visit an ENT doctor the next day because of the discomfort. It was then that I was told that it was ACID REFLUX. Never in my wildest dreams that I thought I’d experience an acid reflux. I only hear horror stories, but now – I’m experiencing it. I was given the medicine Peprazom, I was told to take it for 14 days, but if by Day 7 I felt better, I can stop my medication. Taking Peprazom was such a relief, I was able to eat and drink better. After 7 days, my throat felt normal.
Because of my dry mouth, I suddenly have a craving of sweet drinks. Sweet fruit juices and the likes. I am a water girl, but recently I’ve enjoyed juices. I know it’s odd. But do you know what’s more odd? My unquenchable thirst for water. It seems like I cannot have enough water! I feel thirsty ALL THE TIME, thus I have a reusable stainless bottle with me EVERY TIME I go out.
Would you believe that I can drink 1 liter of water in one go when I wake up in the morning? YEP! At the very least, I can drink two cups of water. Yet, with that two cups of water – I still feel thirsty! What’s bothersome with that is that I would need to pee more than usual. To be exact, I need to pee every two hours because of the amount of water or liquid that I drink.
My hair is my only insecurity. I am experiencing massive hair loss, massive and scary to be honest. I will be trying to go back to using gugo shampoo for this. I hope it works!
MY BODY IS CHANGING SO MUCH that I am so confused, rattled, bothered, uncomfortable, and mentally tired of thinking what this is happening to me.
Any of you guys experiencing this?
PLEASE HELP!!
