I am ok thank you Sparkle- day 74 but lots of oestrogen here and there so I am sure I will have another period soon.
You are doing so well, hope you feel ok- thinking of you. x

[Machair]

Isn't it strange too how the PMT is less? I have found mine has abated a lot before bleeds now compared to a couple of years ago. Still get very bloated though and moody, but I don't get that feeling of "it better start in a minute or I will deck someone"! The last one was slightly more unexpected. Yes you have managed Christmas Day and The Summer Solstice - that is absolutely brilliant!

[Elizabethrose]

Girls, the further I got into peri I noticed everything was much more uncomfortable at the highest oestrogen level i.e. around expected ovulation point. Breast tenderness, bloating, tiredness, the feeling I would explode, the usual pmt was calm by comparison x

[Machair]

Me too ER I finally figured out that high oestrogen causes the same feelings as PMT does thanks to you. How are you doing ER are you feeling any better?

[Elizabethrose]

Treatment started Machair, but it'll take a while. Very sore this evening but half my own fault for not medicating properly yesterday and today. Just taken a tab so hoping it will ease a little before bed. x

ER, hopefully they'll be an improvement in the next couple of days, I quite often felt worse rather than better initially after an osteopath appointment. Hope you slept better last night at least.

no stomach pain at all today, the more I read about abdominal migraines, the more I think that's what it is. It was pretty constant for about  a year, and hoping now it'll just be a random symptom now and again. I do seem to go through them all in phases and then move onto another one. Back to burning and hot flushes again which definitely is my favourite of a bad bunch.

[Elizabethrose]

Thanks nearly50, you were right with your advice. Last night was very tricky, all very sore and leapt every time I tried to sit. Whilst uncomfortable first thing this morning, things have eased a little today. It's weird, all feels very stiff and solid but there's not such violent pain. I think whatever he did yesterday loosened it a little. Apparently the whole back, hip and buttock area is in spasm and I feel that that is what I'm feeling today with the stiffness. The pain was so violent before that I wasn't really aware of the stiffness. Back to see him again on Wed and hopefully it will ease further.

Do have a chat with dangermouse, she might be able to offer some hot tips on the abdominal migraine. She's a lovely lady and interested in natural/alternative treatments which I'm sure will interest you too.

Right off to clear up from supper. Have a lovely evening x

[nearly50]

Oh good, I hope it's a bit better again today. It's amazing what they can tell from just touch, my biggest problems come from trigger points and I could never understand how they knew which ones hurt.

I will contact dangermouse, thanks for that. It is definitely down to hormones and I am hoping the fact that it is becoming less common is a good sign.

Hope you all have a good day, have things calmed down again sparkle?

[Machair]

How are we all doing ladies Sparkle has your bleeding finished yet, ER your back is it any better and nearly50 how are things going? So sorry I have been offline a bit as we had a burglar in the house last Thursday which was absolutely horrific. All it took was 20 seconds- I was in the garden with the dog late afternoon, only three paces from the door and I mean 3 steps, and she was on a lead. He went in through the open door and stole my handbag and purse. Just be careful ladies if you have a patio door and a dog, as he was literally waiting to enter when I went out with her in the garden. Maybe the shock will stop my periods!

[nearly50]

That's horrendous Machair, what a shame. That must be so upsetting, total opportunist taking advantage You expect to feel safe in your own garden and it must've given you such a shock. I've been burgled a couple of times and it is really horrible. Just glad you didn't walk in on him.

All fine here, hope all is well with everyone else.

[Machair]

That sounds really good Sparkle - how many days did it last? You might find things really settle now as I think this all sounds really encouraging.x

[Elizabethrose]

Oh Bl---y hell Machair, that's so awful. I'm really sorry. That must have really shaken you up. Did he get in the back or the front of your house? Whilst utterly awful for you, thank goodness you weren't in the house and didn't come face to face with him. We were burgled when I was pregnant with my boy, heavily pregnant! The police were really concerned it would bring on the labour! It takes a while to shake off that deep unease you experience after a burglary. Hopefully you'll feel better soon. These are for you 

[Machair]

Brilliant Sparkle - the home straight I think.

Talking about getting homes straight I am just about getting back to some semblance of "normal" after the events of last week. ER you asked how he got in - over the fence round the back and in - 6 ft gate, 6ft fence (ivy covered). He was lurking in the garden waiting for me to come home, and when I took my dog out for a wee only three paces from the patio door he was in and out in 20 seconds.

The thing I have lost and miss most is the dog tag from my previous dog that I kept when she died, a little bone with her name on it, everything else blends into insignificance compared to that. All the rest is a total wind up with cards having to be stopped- even today my organic veg delivery payment failed and I remembered I had forgotten to update my bank card details. It is a shower of admin that seems to never end. Then there is the fear associated with it all. That is pretty bad. Essex is a high crime area - drugs are a major problem here. Makes me want to move to the Outer Hebrides where few lock their doors and life is calmer- mind you someone has been draining oil tanks up there stealing household fuel oil from the elderly so maybe nowhere is safe. Essex Police took 5 days to come, although they did send round forensics within the hour- a sad refection of their workload and reduced budgets.

[nearly50]

Aw Machair I really feel for you, sorting out bank details is a real hassle but as you say, it is the fear which is worse. When I was burgled I found a knife in my bedroom and although the policeman told me they used it to cut electrical cords quickly, it freaked me out so badly, especially as I live alone. These people have no clue how much stress they cause, and I suppose wouldn't care if they did. I was so lucky though, the wee policeman took pity on me and stood outside my flat for ages over the next few days - doubt if that would happen now!

[Machair]

nearly50 that is dreadful you must have been terrified.xx
