I know some of you may find this to be a little T.M.I. (too much information) but I’m really over having these horrible cramps every month. I know- I know- but this is my little space and I can write about what I want to, and right now- that’s what I want to write about.
Over the past year or so, those little monthly visitors have become increasingly worse, and I know I’ve mentioned it before, but I’m very certain that I’m in the stages of perimenapause. I had all the symptoms with the exception of irregular periods, and well- last month I had two, so I guess I have all the symptoms now.
I think I’m going to talk to my doc and see if he would be willing to run some blood work to see if I’m short on the hormones, just to be sure, and then see if he would be willing to give me some hormone replacement cream. I hear it works wonders, and trust me, considering the mood swings I have from time to time, I need them.
I read today that Dr. Oz (whom I adore), says that some hormones are like Valium for our bodies, and when it’s too short, we tend to stress out more than usual. Dr. Oz knows and I’d say that it pretty much nails how I feel from time to time by getting annoyed at the tiniest things.
Does anyone else go through this, or am I alone in this little journey? Come on- don’t make me do it alone. haha
