elionwyrSince December, my monthly "Throes of Womanhood" have just been brutal.
It's just weird. This used to last maybe, *maybe* 4 days. Now it's back to 7-9, like when I was a teenager...but heavier, more uncomfortable, and much more hormonal.
Is this still my body complaining about having being pregnant? - It's not the kind of question one can easily ask. But I may ask my doctor about it - I have to go back in a few months.
I find that I just want to curl up on the sofa in my computer room, wrapped in a blanket, with a pillow pressed to my stomach, and think far too much about what's passing from my body.
...The joys of an obsessive mind. :/

What the future holds
Date: 2002-04-26 03:28 pm (UTC)Well.
I used to be terrified that I would suffer the same extremes my mother did as she aged - and I won't go into details unless you REALLY want to know - but so far, I've been spared.
No, I think the root of my current problem isn't age as much as some sort of aftermath from December.
Even had the terribly typical female moment of giggling and crying on hubby's shoulder tonight about it all. *doh*
Mmmmm....hormones..
Re: What the future holds
Date: 2002-04-26 04:12 pm (UTC)maybe after kids are all done I'll have them remove the whole damn thing and just go on horomones!

Re: What the future holds
Date: 2002-04-27 12:36 pm (UTC)why shop for one? You can go to the local psych ward (have hunny drag you kicking and screaming) and you can use theirs AND have a padded room!
Re: why go shopping?
Date: 2002-04-27 01:11 pm (UTC)Only if they'll give us the key to the room, too. :)

Date: 2002-04-26 02:07 pm (UTC)Re: something new
Date: 2002-04-26 03:35 pm (UTC)I suffered from amenorrhea for years...just a lovely experience, I assure you...coupled with "abnormal" PAP smear tests and a doctor who would say, "Well..it could be cancer..it could be chlymidia...but it's probably nothing."
(insert scream of frustration here)
I eventually grew out of the amenorrhea.
And a change of doctors miraculously cleared up my pre-cancerous cells.
Ahhhh...the joys of modern medicine.
*wry grin*
At any rate..yeah, this is new; and yeah, I'm gonna talk to the doc about it. I have to go see her for another check-up soon anyway.
Thank you for the input!
*hug*
