so yes, the headaches are back--I should say headache (singular cause it just never goes away) I have it all day and no amount of advil will help..I feel like an 80 yr old today--joints, muscles and neck hurt so bad...I feel so sore...I started taking vitamins today--read about Vitamin D and how important it is! I take iron, (for my hair loss) magnesium(for anxiety and sleep), calcium (for my bones), fish oil (for the essential fatty acids). Oh and the tingly sensation in my head and body is back too...
well, I feel not so great but i guess i'm just so used to this that i'm handling it better. My headaches are back and I feel slightly dizzy most of the day...no depression or crying or irritabiity though..
I slept ok at the hotel. Started to feel a little weird at the concert then it passed..then I woke up and felt weird again, then that passed, and now I feel fuzzy. I feel like crying but wont...I'll leave that for the days I cant eve ncontrol it..sigh.
I'm going to Atlantic City today to see Madonna. I havent been out in almost 3 months so it will be weird. I feel ok...not as good as yesterday but not bad. Hoping I dont have trouble sleeping in the hotel room...
I feel GREAT! I feel alive and have a good outlook on the future. I just wish it would stay like this from here on in. I'm afraid of my next period. :(
I feel good. I am tired, but whatever...I'm getting better. I tried a Climara patch tonight--NOT good for me. I fainted...yikes. Gonna give this fight a cold turkey try.
Days 17, 18 and today are pretty much the same. I'm tired. I'm tired. I'm tired. I fall asleep at 10-11pm every night and wake up at 3am like clock work. I cant fall back to sleep until about 5 am then have to wake up at 6:30 for work. One good thing about today is that I had a consultation appointment with the one and only Dr. Elizabeth Vliet. She helped me understand the causes of all my symptoms and how to address the main issue instead of treating each symptom. There seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel. I will start a regimen of applying different doses (on different times of my cycle) of bio-identical hormone replacement patches. I am hoping that they work and take me out of this madness.
What a difference a day makes. My hormone levels are so wack that one day I cry for no reason and feel like garbage and look in the mirror and see a not so attractive person (even though normally I'd feel attractive and confident all the time) and today I look in the mirror and feel great. No headaches, no pains, slept great, and I'm off to bake a cake at my future in-laws' house. On days like today, the prospect of feeling bad again seems so unlikely yet I know to much now than to think its just going to disappear overnight. I have a phone consult with Dr.Elizabeth Vliet this Wednesday...she will tell me if and how to treat this mess.
Not so good today...I'm exhausted, I feel down and dont really want to leave the house but I have to..I got the blood test back and my estradiol dropped to 40 yesterday...the FDA says when stradiol levels are under 100, you are at risk for osteoperosis...and one's levels should be between 150-250 to feel their best....I cried for no reason this morning and felt like I was going crazy....this too shall pass...I keep telling myself...this too shall pass....I just want to sleep all day and run away from feeling like this.
I'm Alive! I worked a full day and no dizziness, memory lapses, muscle aches or depressed mood....I'm going to the doctor to get my blood drawn...
