I'm out of hiding. For 3 weeks.
I am officially out of hiding now. The black cloud of death is gone. I can come out into the sunshine and live frustration free, depression free, happy, content for about 3 weeks... so let's make the best of it... until that nasty little monster called PMS comes back. Now men, you cannot say "I know how you feel..." cause truth is, honey you have NO IDEA...
Now ladies, you can jump in here anytime you durn well please... cause I know you KNOW how I feel! It was a crappy weekend. I slept through most of it. The other few hours I was not asleep, I spent feeling isolated, alone, upset, crying, poor Tim. He had to come in there Friday and just hug me because I just couldn't hold it together.
PMS actually has nothing over on this episode. It's that nasty round of PMDD like I used to experience. So for those of you who missed me, HERE I AM! Happy, wide eyed, bushy tailed... well the bushy tail is gone now... wide eyed, yes... I only wish I had some bushy on my tail so my tail bone didn't hurt so daggone bad! lol
Friday I had a horrible hormone migraine and left work early. I did pretty well this go around on my cravings... kept up on the protein drinks... that cut the afternoon cravings at work... I did have some mixed nuts and sugar free M&M's (about 2 tblsp) one evening... that cut the cravings for salt & sweet (and chocolate). Sunday I craved peanut butter cookies... ya'll know how that is my trigger food, so my mother was a sweetheart, made a batch with splenda, and I ate 2. That was FORCED self control... to keep them out of my house!
Life goes on... things are better today.
They are called Zannies. They came from Bariatric Eating. Here is a link:
Sugar Free Zannies candy
They are 6.99 a bag. A good investment, but if you place an order of $35 or more, you get a free gift, and a full size bag is one of your choices...
((Melinda)) I'm glad that you're feeling better. I'm so glad that I had to have a hysterectomy when I was 26. I had already had 2 children so when it became a health issue I told them they could have my uterus. I remember those awful painful times though. I hope there is something that gives you some relief for next time.
The gyn is trying to get me approved for another type of birth control, Mirena. I work for a Catholic based company which does not believe in birth control. Therefore, they won't pay for it as a form of "birth control" in and of itself... but with my hormone problem history... they just 'might'. They do cover the patch and pills, but not quite so sure they will buy into the iud.
I used to be on Lexapro for PMDD. It's like a severe SEVERE form of PMS only instead of lasting 1 week, it is reverse in that it lasts for 3 weeks out of the month! It was hades on earth! I don't have those bad times anymore... depression, loneliness, tears, etc. but for some reason this one was a whopper. Thank God I dont have them like I used to... honestly it really helped me relate to people who have bipolar or another form of mental health issues because it can make you feel so bad, almost crazy at times.
I have a wide array of female problems, but wls has helped a lot. I don't take a lot of meds that i used to take...I'm hoping to get it totally under control soon..
Mike, I read your reply to Tim. He just hootted and hollered. He thought that was so funny. And yes, you are the ONLY TWO MEN in the world who know how bad my period is/can be... well, Josh too but he's married and has his own set of problems now! haha (inside joke)!!!
Mike, remember this statement:
"I'm gonna take this little pill... now things might get bad for awhile..."
BWAAAHAAAAHAAAAAA!!! NE'ER A WORD SPOKEN MORE TRUE!
