Still a bit stressed/anxious today but finding it much easier to rise above the work issues. Definately calmness has returned. And i got through another month without killing anyone ;-)
Just realised i only had 3 bad migraines last month, 2 of which were during my period. The other was day 24, a few days after ovulation. So seems my migraines have returned to menstrual migraine, rather than chronic migraine (16 a month!). This happened when i stopped taking nurofen. But also could be because i came off HRT. However that was 2 years ago, and the timing coincided with me deciding to swap Nurofen for triptans, as my only treatment! Hmmm i am starting to agree with the camp who believe medication does more harm than good! In my case, it seems to have done the exact opposite of what i wanted - caused my migraines!!!
Still sleeping well on magensium citrate during my luteal phase. But my new flat is both noisy and bright which interferes with sleep during follicular. My sleep pattern follows progesterone levels exactly, when progesterone is low, i can't fall asleep easily and i wake up early. If i wasn't sensitive to my hormones before, i definately am now!!
Stomach issues were insane over my period. Had heartburn at 1am one night and couldn't sleep. And following night stomach cramps all evening. And pretty much had stomach cramps for the next 3 days. I'm hoping they calm down now period is finished...
As for the next month. I hope i can resolve my issues with my work colleagues. But find it hard to trust people again, once i've had PMDD rage at them! It's certainly true that PMDD damages relationships. And after my moods this month, i'm considering low dose Prozac again! :(
