Not whoooppping then 

Was that in 1 day .... how large are the rabbits?

[squeaker99]

Well CLKD, I chopped wood, lit a fire, cleaned out the animals (two rabbits in a 12ft run, so a fair bit of sweeping, carrying bales of straw and hay), no slaughtering but I did go mental chopping a ton of veg.
I made a cream of veg soup and all seasonal veg.
I also cycled like a Neanderthal for a whopping 9 miles.
😇

  Well done. You have a great day.

Erm... Birdy ...
What does cycling like a neanderthal look like ... exactly ?

   one has to be aware of fly strike   

[jillydoll]

I've been ok. But just lately it seems one thing or another mainly anxiety, is striking me hard again. I feel flat, fat, and now think I'm coming down with a cold!
I'm tired all the time too, with accompanying headaches.
I'm so fed up!
Think we're going on a break to Lanzarote for a few days, at the end of the month.
Maybe that's just what I need. 🤷‍♀️

I think it's the time of year...after Christmas is just grey, miserable and a rubbish time after the stress that comes with that delightful festive season    We've all eaten and drunk the wrong things too.  Not like you to be down JD? at least you have the opportunity of a break.  After xmas is a busy time for me I have to sort out all my end of year accounts Yuck Yuck and double  Yuck!!...its so boring and dispiriting!

CKLD is right though, its not completely black by 4pm in the afternoon and we took the dogs to the park Sunday and I heard birds singing around dusk.  Anyway on the theme of the subject matter "just when I thought I was finally cured...."  I don't think any of us actually get "cured" - close maybe...but a better description is "better than we were before when we thrashing round in the chaos no having a baldy notion (NI phraseology!) what the hell's going on"!

Well, I have some good news to report. My blip episode seems to be over, thankfully. It lifted in the space of just a few minutes yesterday evening. Feel so much better, calmer and most importantly very optimistic again. Feel like I'm living again, rather than just enduring.

Thinking of everyone else having a blip. Keeping everything crossed that it will lift very soon x

[Ladybt28]

we like good news GRL!!..Brilliant - long may it continue...(till the next one...cos there is always a next one at some point).  At least you can trust a bit more now that if they come, they will go as well! 

[GypsyRoseLee]

I think I'd just started to think I was genuinely cured, having gone 9 months blip free (the longest I'd gone before was only 4 months). But, I do think you're right, and that these blips will happen probably until I'm post menopause and my own cycle has fully shut down.

[squeaker99]

GypsyRoseLee - My blip lifted today - in Homebase to be precise. I too have had a good 4 months
run of feeling OK but a bad last 10 days. Seems like many of us have had similar. Full moon?!
I was in Homebase waiting to get a tested pot mixed and everything suddenly seemed bright and
sharp and alive again. I felt happy and optimistic in that moment.  Would be amazing to feel like that
all the time. Feeling like whatever life throws at you you are always calm and accepting.

I'm taking a multi vitamin. My OH says to take his viti D as his is a high dose. 800 ui.
But I think my HRT has stopped working as well as it was. I've upped it, but get side effects from the prog, so I've started on extra oestrogen. I've fished out my old sandrena gel I had last year, so I'll use it along side my Femoston Conti tablets see if it works. It should do, it did before. I havnt felt this low and everything else since I started this crap journey!
 

[jillydoll]

Yeah, I will. I'm scared I'm going backwards. Don't want to go back there....😢

Hello ladies

I think the recurrence of symptoms is one of the most challenging things about this journey.  The uncertainty of never knowing how you will feel is very distressing I find although like everyone I am grateful for the good days.  These blips also confirm that our problems are hormonal and beyond our conscious control.

Wishing you all well.

K.

[Bring me Sunshine]

I could'nt agree more Kathleen.

Its so hard to drop low again after thinking you have cracked it as all the joy goes again and you are at the mercy of having treatment tweaked again, applying for referral to the menopause clinic again, reading anything you can on anyone feeling the same and then sometimes feeling worse reading all that, as you feel is there any hope again, will I get better?  We know that it does turn around again but it would be lovely just to have the actual date that it happens its all left down to hormones righting themselves again and thats anyones guess. Hope:  Hold On Pain Ends  You just have to take one day at a time and believe x
