My last post was about how great I had been feeling and BOOM the next day migraine then 2 days later I get my period. I really want to yell AHA! when I got it because it explains all my off days. I have since had a migraine or have felt like crap for a solid week. I find that I can control the migraines any other time but when the hormones kick in forget about it! I am so glad at least this happens after a streak of feeling good because my house is pretty clean so it has not taken much upkeep this week to keep it at least not horrible looking. Again when these last so long I start to feel useless and I want to get a different full time job but these weeks I just dont see how I can do it. I have done it before but honestly at this point in my life I just dont want to. I take chaste berry extract and I find this helps some with hormone balance I also use progesterone cream and this helps especially with the sleep issues I have. What I do find interesting is that these headaches are so much tension headaches both sides of the head at times and the muscles on the sides of my head are swollen. I find when I use peppermint oils on those spots and I mean a lot of peppermint oil it helps tremendously. What I find odd is that even though these are classic tension headaches I get sound and light sensitive and the only thing that will truly take them away is maxalt and this tells me its a migraine. Yesterday I was wiped out and dizzy even when I got rid of the pain. It is normally my craft day but I could not summon up the energy to be creative or to go to my fitness class. Its better today after loads of peppermint oil and I decided to spray the magnesium oil right on the spots on my head we will see if that helps. I did have to sleep today again after work but it has not wiped me out so much today. I am going to PIYO in a few minutes. I am hoping this makes me feel better, often it does. I get a massage tomorrow sme food prep for tomorrow I also made some oatmeal peanut butter protein balls. These are great when I have that super craving for something sweet they take the edge off and they are super good for you. If the massage doesnt break the cycle i am ready for steroids.
