Better
Okay...THAT was a day in hell.
Yesterday, that is. I had a big seizure at 9:30 am, afterwhich everything from my shoulders up, especially my head (and including my face!) hurt like the devil for the entire day. It was our Date Day, meaning breakfast out before hitting the Farmer's Market and just mucking about together, as the British would say, but there was no way that was going to happen.
Today, I'm better. Still have a small residual headache, and despite all the sleep that I got, I'm still tired. I'm also weak because all I ate yesterday was a half of a container of yogurt and a half a burger that my husband brought home. I'm also a tad bit emotional; yesterday included a major loss of sanity in the morning. This involved shrieking and crying due to feeling, basically, unconnected to reality. I couldn't think, I couldn't reason, I couldn't process anything; all I could do was feel two things: like I was floundering in a tsunami wave, and total physical, mental, and emotional misery.
As I said, it was so overwhelming that I am still recovering.
But recover I shall. Tomorrow I'll have been on HRT for 3 weeks, and it'll take 3 months for things to really even out. I've been through this for almost 10 years now...I can handle 2 more months...
....I hope!

How awful to have a seizure. I hope you continue to feel better after that.
Are they also treating you for clinical depression? I had to go back on the depression meds and I do feel better.
Knock on wood, my hormonal shifts don\'t seem to be as radical now that I\'m properly treated for major depression.
I\'m glad you have HOPE!!!! Big (((((HUGS)))))
