This week has been much better, one headache and not a bad one. However a busy week so I only will get 3 work outs in! PIYO today which I look so forward to every time. I feel like if you don't make fitness a priority above all else you will not be successful. This week is Christmas week and actually I have less going on than last week. My goal is 5x this week with christmas eve and day off from fitness and back at PIYO Saturday. I want to go see Star Wars with my kids but it will interfere with my classes and this week was so bad that next week needs to be better especially with all the Christmas eating! I think I will got the week after the crowds will have died down a bit I just hope my kids will want to wait a week.
So this part is a bit graphic or at the very least yucky, putting this out there because I bet someone else has had this happen and I know its not a topic discussed. A few years ago I started going through peri menopause I think my migraines have increased since then. 5 years ago I had a uterine ablation due to heavy bleeding for an extended period of time. Since before then my periods have gotten very erratic with the ablation there is not much bleeding but the hormones are there. I am ranting because I think this last horrible long lasting migraine streak is due to peri menopause and huge fluctuations in hormones. I had a period in July and then 3 days before we went to Florida i had another. They last like maybe 2 days and a pantiliner is all that is needed. BUT from that 2 day period in November it has led me to a month long migraine streak with no sleep, vaginal dryness, horrible migraines, and mood swings. This week i think it was Tuesday I had some mucus discharge its really yucky a little bloody reminds me of when I was due to have a baby and lost my mucus plug. (told ya yucky and graphic) But like magic headaches stopped I feel human again i am sleeping. I dont know what this is but it has happend before. I would be curious to see if this happens to anyone else. I think the majority of my migraines are hormone based. I am researching essential oils and seeing if i can use a natural way to balance my hormones. I ordered some magnesium oil as well. I have upped my magnesium intake and take lots of baths in epsom salt but I have read that spraying magnesium oil on affected muscles can help. Stay tuned I hope it helps and for now i am very happy to feel human again!
