Premenstrual Stress Syndrome (PMS) is stress which is a physical symptom prior to the onset of menstruation.

I am going to start on a new type of birth control. http://www.yaz-us.com/front
It says it is suppose to help with iron deficient anemia which is something I suffer from. I am hoping that this shift will go off smoothly and give me some balance in my life. Physically anyway. I am nervous that my crazy body is going to go into "freak out" mode. I have to give it a shot though because something needs to change. My doctor could hear my frustration over the phone and I apologized about it. She understands how frustrating it is. When she told me they really don't know all that much about PMS I felt like I wanted to cry. My husband saw it in my face when I put the phone down. I felt defeated. Only for a moment though. I will keep on trudging through till I understand all that I can.
Happy Monday all. Hope everyone has a great day.

It is my third week on the Yaz and nothing has really changed. I started marking a calendar to track it. Just a couple words about each day, like tired, cranky, energetic. I have done this in the past and have a very definite pattern especially with the fatigue. So I will keep you posted on this.

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
