It was a compliment ER, sorry if it sounded otherwise

[Elizabethrose]

Haha not at all, Im just exasperated for you and wondering what the answer is. Have a lovely time. I'm being pursued by a local team at the moment so I'm keeping my head down. x

[Machair]

Are you feeling any better today ER with the mig? Hope things are better.x

[Elizabethrose]

Hi Machair, oh you are a sweetheart for asking, thank you. I'm really good today, the meds kicked in beautifully yesterday and reduced it dramatically. I've only had 3 Triptan days this month which is absolutely brilliant. I hope you're feeling well x

How are you today nearly50, how's the bleed? x

[nearly50]

Hi ER, thanks for asking. Things are a lot better today, yesterday wasn't particularly easy at work as I'd had about 3 hours sleep if I was lucky and the bleed was incredibly heavy. Very fortunate to work in a school with such lovely young people, couldn't cope if I was in a job I hate.  Things have improved now and I've had a better sleep, helped greatly by not having to get up at 6am as I don't get to sleep until 3am these days. Horrible dreams again, really have to wonder about where my brain dregs up these images!

Hope you all have a good weekend!

[Elizabethrose]

I'm glad it's easing nearly50 but sorry you're feeling so rubbishy. Are you unable to fall asleep? I've always fallen asleep almost before my head hits the pillow, my problem's if I wake in the night especially after an adrenaline surge, I can't fall back to sleep again.

When you went away recently, did you experience the same problem? I think we can get into habits with our sleeping patterns. Sometimes you have to remove yourself from the norm to break it. It does seem to be a common problem in peri, though what isn't?!

I have nightmares when in migraine, real horror stories and always so real when I wake I think it's actually happened.

I hope you enjoy your weekend too! x

[nearly50]

I fall asleep easily but wake up every half hour until about 3am and sometimes am awake for a long time during that time, especially after nightmares. On holiday I knew I didn't have to get up at 6 and face a 90 minute rush hour commute so that took the stress away.  My neighbours are a real issue too, last time I slept right through,  they were on holiday which is no coincidence! I've caught up with sleep today though so not the end of the world. Stomach pains have eased again so hopefully get a bit of respite 🙂

[nearly50]

Last night woke up bang on every 90 minutes all night - what is that about?!  Going to try Dormeasan sleep tonight.

Hope you are all well, keeping close to home as there's an Old Firm game on this afternoon which usually means carnage!

[nearly50]

Funny, isn't it? A sleep cycle is 90 minutes so there's definitely something hormonal going on when the body goes onto its next cycle.

Hope you feel better sparkle, stomach problems really are the worst. Hope you can enjoy your lunch.

I'm going to have a '13 reasons why' marathon

[nearly50]

Sorry, it is a series on Netflix, all the pupils have watched it so I feel I need to. It's good though.

I'm burning up and sweating, and the stomach pain immediately disappears. I must be the only person on the planet who welcomes hot flushes

[Machair]

Sparkle I think my IBS is related to the Cfs/Me for sure. I had it yesterday - worse in the morning, but also could hear stomach gurgling last thing at night when I went to sleep. Requires several toilet trips in close succession - horrid and also makes me nervous in company if it is playing up. Luckily I have had less attacks recently, but I had one in a restaurant in America where I was having to visit the bathroom multiple times in the meal. I was very jet lagged so that also didn't help. It has been better on a low carb diet that I follow now so that's good but I have to be careful with large meals, green veg and nuts and seeds as these are all triggers. Attacks also coincide with temperature issues- night sweats and low body temp in the day.

[nearly50]

Dormeasan sleep backfired as I got an hour's sleep last night - seemingly for a small number of people it can have the opposite effect.  Also ended up with nausea and stabbing stomach pain - not to be recommended. So since everyone on here seems to have weird reactions to things, one to avoid maybe!

[Machair]

How are you feeling today everyone? Hope you are all doing well.

[Machair]

Not too bad thank you Sparkle. Dentist ordeal tomorrow but at least part one of that will be over by lunchtime!

Summer is coming and a trip to Scotland before too long so all good.

Periwise some days mucus some days not. Still in the throws of it all but keeping positive thanks to you and to ER, nearly 50 and all the ladies on here.

Just picked up several new pairs of glasses and sorted out contacts in a higher strength after recent eye test.

I see the oldest lady in the world passed away age 117 recently in Italy- she had no teeth, probably couldn't see much but looked so happy! An inspiration!

[Machair]

Yes it really does Sparkle. Good luck tomorrow with your little op- I'll think of you.
I've got two appointments 2 weeks apart, but I think the last one is easier and shorter!
