Still no bruising...but definitely more back nerve pain now. Maybe as the inflammation goes down? I'm feeling more aches as time passes as expected. Stupid stairs...wish I lived in a rambler....
Still feeling pretty okay. Haven't been feeling as great as before but I think I need to blame a lot of that on my diet. I have been eating so many sweets and so much chocolate. Oh those pies....they were so good and really got me started this last long weekend. Of course that has meant more headaches and feeling more sluggish. The weather has also been cold and snowy so I sit around all day bundled up. I need to be more active as well.
Today starting to eat better again...at least it is a choice now instead of being forced because of digestion issues. Have a project I need to get done this week as well. I am finally feeling well enough and like it won't 'break me' that I am going to start exercising again. I am going to start slow but I think it would help my body balance out more.
Still using the progesterone cream. I was upping my dose but I'm not sure it is what I need honestly. I may step back down to what I was at before or just stay where I am at for the rest of this cycle, see what happens. I am curious how my next period will be. The progesterone really did help almost instantly to get rid of the anxiety and keep it away. Only time I felt it coming back was during my last bleed....but quickly went away after I started back up. My mid cycle cramping was greatly reduced. It did get bad on one day but much better than several bad days. Downside is that my breasts hurt! This has surprised me. I thought it was the estrogen that would cause that. They are 'fuller' again though. Still small but my bras feel tight and hurt to wear. I have been getting a bit b*tchy lately as well. It is honestly hard to say if it is the hormones, the lack of sleep (very possible), awful weather (I don't do well in winter) or Grinch of a hubby during this holiday season - tried to get his help with holiday shopping for the kids, like to get it done early...and he was such a scrooge about spending any money or doing anything....once again everything fell on me to do and make decisions about. Just some extra stress that I'd rather not have.
Hair still seems to be falling out but growing even faster now! Was that even possible!? I'm blaming the biotin on that one. Been great for my nails though too. Not really noticing much change with my skin...well maybe...I don't feel like I'm looking at a woman 10 years older than I in the mirror these days. Not sure if that is the progesterone, biotin, combo?? It definitely isn't sleep though! That's been awful again.
I miss just living my life without thinking about what I need to do to keep myself balanced out. I'm too young to think about 'back in the day' times. But I feel like maybe if I can get this all figured out now, MAYBE, just maybe, I will have an easier time later. I needed to start taking better care of myself anyways I guess.
