Depression/Instability + The Girl Thing (Trigger?)

[crystalgaze]

Well.... It's happened again, and for once, it actually seems like a healthy period.

Flow is fine. I've seen very few "clumps", as I call them.

However, I've had some pain that is a bit troubling. Right now, it's going on 2 hours, since I awoke with a kind of sharp, shooting pain. I rubbed my tummy with Schiling Oil, & it has truly been a Godsend.

My mom will probably be cross with me because I've been walking back and forth in the house, like a mad woman almost, kind of pacing to help with the pain. Amazing pacing has helped; it's just that when I walk around upstairs in the house, my parents can often hear me....

I even considered going to the emergency room, since what wants to come down but seems to be giving me just a slightly difficult time. My endurance has netted a positive result, without falling into more debt. The pain comes and goes but isn't too too distressing that it is unmanageable.

Earlier in the day, I went to this lady, and she gave me this wonderful hormonal support supplement that helps also with symptoms of menstruation or menopause.....

If the pain worsens again, I think I will go to the hospital in all seriousness. This period has been the strangest to boot; I don't know what's going on at all.... I exercised the other day, and wow, in the morning when I woke up, MY BOOBS WERE KILLING ME! They still kind of paining me/sore, but a sports bra has helped greatly. (I thought maybe I didn't have on the right bra or something; I mean the course I walked was up and down a hill, in just a regular bra for 2 times..... In retrospect, that really wasn't a good idea. However, the exercise did ease my cramps!)

Oh and about the Schiling Oil, I massaged my knees with it, and I felt great relief. (I''m not endorsing the product per se; it's just that IT HELPED ME IMMENSELY. Perhaps it's the 33% Menthol crystal that's part of the remedy?)

I went to the doctor, and I seemed to have had an infection....

A shot just under my hip on my bum and antibiotics have given me fast relief. Gotta love my doctor!

On a hilarious note, I was reminded of what my father always says now. He says, "When you go to the doctor, you really can't be squirmish and have hang-ups...."

First, I had to show the doctor my chest... .Then, I had to show him part of my bum to get better. Goodness gracious! He was cool about it, though--straight face & all.

I'll admit I was a bit embarrassed and laughed like hell, after he stepped out of the room, when I realized I had to do so much stripping.... I couldn't believe it....

Now, here comes the serious part. I was looking at the paper that comes with the prescription from the pharmacy.

Do you know that a seizure and heart problems (irregular heartbeat) were listed as serious side effects?!

Unfortunately, I experienced a symptom associated with my seizure condition when the illness first started almost 8 years ago now. There was this sharp pain on the left top part of my head. It was excruciating enough. I was driving on the road when it happened unexpectedly, and thankfully, I was able to make it home safely.

After a while of cooling out/relaxing, I seemed to have recovered. My Dad accompanied me in the car while driving, though. When I was feeling really well and energetic later in the day, I went to run some errands by myself. I was okay and held up well enough.

I believe the reason I had the sharp pain in my head could be from the 1st dosage of antibiotics. In the 1st dose, it is required to take 2 pills or 500 mg. From all prior times of suffering from side effects from different medications now, I've noticed that I can be triggered by taking as little as 300mg of a medication.

For whatever reason, my body does not appear to be tolerating pills from the drug industry very well. I truly will have to seek more natural alternatives.[/i]
