Had a GREAT few days. Really good. 

I’ve been really paying attention to what day it is in my cycle and trying to match up symptoms which has been really helpful.

Period started Nov 17th. (Day 1)

Days 11,12, 13 & 14 were BAD. Lots of symptoms. Heavy head, whooshy head as I call it, heart palpitations, aches pains etc.

Days 15,16 &17 were actually REALLY good! Yesterday and the two days prior.

Then we get to today. Day 18. Great all the way up to about 2:30 pm and yup....here it comes again. Started with a headache, then the vice grip instead of actual “pain”, and just that feeling of “off”. Sometimes it feels like something fuzzy is crawling on your scalp. How nice right? 

So I finally laid down and dozed for a little bit.

Got up thinking for a few minutes I felt better. 

No such luck. 

I gave it 15 min after getting up and then Peri said “oh hey, just to make sure you know I’m still here I’m gonna make your neck hurt and then I’m gonna make your ears feel like they’re being forcefully clogged up. Have a great day!!”.........

Guess I’m gonna go research what’s happening with hormones in my body on day 18. 

🙄🙄

How’s everyone else today?

    I am actually having a good day. I can hardly believe it. Its been months since i had a good day. Apart from spotting just a week after my last period I actually feel 'normal'. Im not getting my hopes up though. Ive done that before only to have peri throw her usual pile of symptoms at me AGAIN.

    Just take a deep breatb, tell yourself you have been here before.

    You haven't died. You're not going to. It will pass. All your crazy symptoms are peri trying to scare you. Dont let her win!

    Try and have a good day. Hugs to you x

      That’s what I keep  telling myself! Now those little tremor things are starting. Different little microscopic like muscle spasms. I hate those. I’ve heard a lot of women talk about them as well.

    Well you and I were on the same schedule, but day 14 I started spotting and haven’t stopped. My nipples are so tender I want to scream. Hot burning feet and overall feeling crappy. 

    I’m sure you are now sorry you asked. lol!!
