Started my period, or as I am now calling it, my semi-colon, today. Yesterday I was irritable but not noticeably until slightly provoked. I ended up having a spectacular falling out with mum, and regardless of my constant apologizing, she held my mood against me for the rest of the night. To be fair to both of us, she picked on me right after I got off of an 8 hour shift and I snapped and said something awful.
Anyhow, no headaches so far and no cramps. I did have some joint pain, but I am attributing that to the sudden rain storms we had.
Last month, (April) I forgot to blog at all, but my period had skipped forward a few days from the 19th in March, to the 16th. I had constant migraines and a little more spotting than I had experienced previously, but again, so little it can barely be considered bleeding.
If you count Saturday as the start of my period this month, (with almost negligible pinkish spotting) then the date skipped forward another 2 days. I did have several migraines around ovulation.
A few months ago I was put on an appetite suppressant which not only helped lessen late night cravings due to my mood stabilizers, but also honed my attention span so keenly, March was one of the most successful times of my life in almost 3 years. I unwisely discontinued the drug and noticed a sharp drop in attention and while I didn't gain more weight than I had lost, I also stopped losing weight.
Tomorrow I call my Dr for a refill and another appointment. I also need to get vital bloodwork done for the mood stabilizers I am taking and for a host of other things my internist wants to look into. I hope to get those done this week. Since they are all fasting, I need to coordinate both my bed time and the time I take my Tegretol.
I hope that by getting back onto the appetite suppressant I can not only take control of my weight, but also regain my concentration and gear up for the 2 months my niece and nephew will be out of town.
