I’m mostly having extreme exhaustion and brain fog. I’m hydrated, I usually intermittent fast and I eat moderately healthy, but I really need to do better. I know it can’t hurt. Just looking for anyone else’s experiences, hoping for a final shove in the right direction. Thanks!
I can’t handle it anymore. I don’t know what to do. I used to be a dynamo. Worked hard, exercised, cooked, baked, knit, kept my house clean, husband happy, played with my kids, talked to friends. But now, even if I want to do things, I don’t. And that makes me want to do even less because I’m so depressed at how tired or lazy or whatever I am. And it’s breaking me. Today I did yard work for like maybe 2 hours and I’m DONE for the day I think. I’m dizzy, getting a headache, I’ve been chugging electrolytes and I’m plenty hydrated and I’ve eaten. I’m so over this. I see PLENTY of women my age who function just fine! Why not me?
The folder is a Sakura Komagoma File and I’m so excited about it! I haven’t seen one before and had to try it.
We have replaced the sump pumpS (plural) and upgraded the way they pump the water out and away and it hasn’t flooded in 8 months, we got through all of spring with no water. BUT that doesn’t mean it won’t ever happen.
So I told hubby I don’t want to even spend the $300 on it because it sits directly on the floor and even if 1mm of water comes up, it’s completely ruined, and then we have to find a way to dispose of it.
So the question is: what can we set it on to lift it after least an inch or two off the ground. (If we get more water than that, we have bigger problems and I don’t expect that to ever happen).
Ok so it’s like having a headache that doesn’t HURT. Like my skull is too small but it’s not painful YET. Like I’m about to get a headache or I had a migraine yesterday. Like I’m just a LITTLE hungover. A little dizzy but not totally dizzy. What is that? It’s also a little brain foggy where I can’t think right but it also is like my brain/head just feels… weird. I do get migraines and headaches. They are related to peri. Has anyone experienced this?
I drink plenty of water/electrolytes, I eat pretty healthy/balanced (80% great, 20% normal/treats/etc), I take magnesium and iron during times when I do have a period (rare).
I had my appointment with my gyno and she said I’m in peri for sure but also recommended a neurologist. But I have no idea how to succinctly describe this to him without sounding like an insane person.
So she did labs and referred me to a neurologist. She said everything did align with peri, but the fact that I have migraines severe and regular enough that I’m taking so much ibuprofen & excedrine (over the last like 25 years) that I’ve given myself a peptic ulcer, that I should see a neurologist.
And now I’m a little worried. Because none of what he’s going to tell me is going to be good news. It’ll either be an actual problem, or it’ll be “sorry, we don’t know what’s going on”. 😣
Is this a peri thing or something else potentially? (Yes, I know you’re not doctors, what is your personal experience?) I’m reading that it could be, and right before my period they make sense. I’ve always been a “headachey” person and just get them quite easily, but these are full on migraines. I wake up in the morning with a headache and by noon I can’t function, sometimes I do vomit. Yes I know I need to see my doctor. It’s to that point now. I try my hardest not to take excedrine everyday but sometimes it’s necessary every other day. I can’t take NSAIDS, because of the headaches I’ve always had I took too much when I was younger and caused an ulcer. Ibuprofen is really the only thing that helps but that’s out. I only say I try not to take the excedrine daily because I don’t want the caffeine to cause a rebound headache when I don’t take it. Ugh 😣 just put me out of my misery 😆
Someone posted about Hobonichi day and it got me thinking. I have a spring start cousin and I’m obsessed. Written almost every day except for maybe 4-5 since March 20-ish. (I back dated). So do I:
- put this book aside in Jan and start the year fresh and leave this one half-ish blank? (I like the idea of starting Jan fresh each year)
- start a Jan book and use this spring start for…?
- keep on with this spring start and just keep doing spring start every year?
I’ve had PMDD for my whole life. Was on BC before having kids (haha hell on wheels) then an IUD after. At 37ish I felt… weird. Like headaches were worse, fatigue was worse, brain fog was worse, but I couldn’t track anything because of the IUD I wasn’t getting a period. So I had it removed and IT GOT WORSER (from a meme I know how to spell lol).
I did go to the doc and she said it’s probably peri and track everything for six months and we’ll reevaluate. Ok. All my blood tests were totally normal.
I get completely debilitating migraines that last 1-3 days. My cycle is sometimes 15 days and sometimes 60. Cramps and bleeding isn’t too bad and has stayed consistent for me. Brain fog is bad. Fatigue is bad but it’s always been that way. Cranky for sure. Unreasonably Irritable for absolutely no good reason.
I’m pissed because:
Anyway. That’s my story. Been putting off coming here looking for advice because I didn’t want to admit it was true.
I’m new to this fountain pen hobby, and I’m using kakuno extra fine here with Kon-peki Iroshizuku. I flushed the pen completely and it was 99.9% dry this morning. Then filled it with the blue. It had a red in it previously. The bright blue (the true color of the ink) was how it first wrote this morning. The darker blue is how it was writing about 8-12 hours later. What gives? What am I doing wrong?
I’m not sure it’s my fave but it’s the colors that are too harsh for me.
I was not, in fact, attempting to make chunky peanut butter. It was supposed to be “egg” sandwich bread, I followed the recipe exactly from the recipe book that came with this machine. I did use heavy whipping cream instead of milk. Is that what did it?
I just started the game in the middle of the last star path and I was so confused, spent all my moonstones and then was obviously not able to complete the star path. So it took me a hot minute to regain all the stones, then once I did I realized I still had 11 days to complete it! So I’ve been grinding and finished! Way sooner than I thought too. Yahoo! This game is so great. 🌟
My son is in sports and very active in the summer. I’m looking for some easily portable low treatment that he’ll actually carry with him and won’t melt at the pool, park, etc. We’ve done fruit snacks but he’s pretty sick of them and they’re not always fast enough. The glucose gel is so farking expensive I can’t believe it. I thought honey packets but he hates it. (I know, he needs to get over it, and when he’s low, he’d take whatever but when he’s packing a bag to go, it’s not what he’d choose). Juice boxes are great but bulky and heavy.
