Hi.

Off and on i have this REAL lightheaded feeling, short of breath and crave some sort of heavy protein? I wondered if its iron being low due to the heavy periods but what is this hypoglycemia people talk about? Its always in the mornings too.....

I had a particularly weird period finish a few days ago, was wayy to early, one HORRIFIC heavy bleed day then just stopped day 3 and that was it! Plus i had pimples all the way through, so i know its all hormone related..

Anyway im COUNTING THE MINUTES till Burgerfuel opens cause im just absolutely craving a burger! I weigh next to nothing right now too. But yes the heavy feeling in head and light headedness/lethargic is particularly bothersome today. On the upside though.. my gastro problems, have subsided ... i suppose allowing the head and dizzy thing to take over (how nice of it to push aside one sympton just to allow another one in grrrrr)

    Yeah the pimples, I was worse than a teenager at times. That does very better though.

    I don't know what the hunger is about. You are lucky being slim.

    I was thankful that I was pretty slim and the fittest I'd ever been in my early 40s. It didn't stop me putting on a stone and a half though, so be careful.
