I am due for my period on Sunday. Last night I started with extreme nausea and now I have a migraine. Ever since I went into perimeno my life has been turned upside down. This is how it goes, migraine before period and nausea. Plus, I feel like I am crawling out of my skin. Nobody talks much about this on here, but it is my biggest problem. Hormones have always been my issue.
This week has been awful. I took either biofilm or a new 50 billion probiotic and had an allergic reaction like no other. No matter what I took, Benadryl, Zyrtec, etc. it didn't touch the itching and now chronic insomnia. I am sick as a dog.
I am so sick of being sick. I could say something like, "it's just not fair", but what for. The week before last I had a bladder infection, in June I hurt my back and ever since then I have been 10X worse. It just keeps switching all around for me. My life is constantly in unstable mode. My symptoms are all over the place. It's awful. I am constantly dealing with an emergency.
How does anyone deal with ever changing symptoms, every week it changes and just feeling EFFING nuts? If it's not one thing, it's something else.
Also, in the past year, my hair went from being poker straight to curly?? I was told this is hormones. It's so bizarre. All of my life I have straight hair and now I have ringlets.
Also, I started seeing a therapist who I like. I might be meeting a guy from an online site. We only talked once and it went super well. Anyway, she told me, "Don't tell him anything until a couple of months in about the extent of your illness. Guys don't need to know too much info and it could scare him off. You want to make sure you like him and he likes you." My problem with that is, I am too sick to hide it. I am anxious because I don't know if I can pull that off.
I am a mess.
Please don't suggest hormone supplements for me. They made me much much worse and bioidenticals too. I was so sick, I cried all of the time, etc. I don't do well on hormones. Also, I can't afford anymore alternative treatments. Acupuncture is too expensive. I spend at least $1,000 a month on out of pocket expenses. It's nuts.
