I thought I had it...well, not under total control, but down to one or two a month....and I was working with that. I'd have a seizure, come out of it, say "Ok, that's the day", clear my schedule, go...

  My July 17 entry has me feeling better. By that, I meant that the Bad Days, instead of being weeks on end with an occasional Normal Day here and there, then became 3-5 days a week. Yes, an...

  Again....the Morning Fight.....the Morning Fight when, as I awaken and slowly gain consciousness, the series of symptoms overtake me; digestive discomfort, sadness, soreness, headaches,...

Hello, all!  As you can see, I haven't been on here in a VERY long time.  I started Hormone Replacement Therapy, and it finally kicked in. Now I have many more good days than bad, which is an...

  The pamphlet that came with my hormone patches warned of dementia as one of the possible side effects.  Today I'm recording that I've certainly been feeling SOMETHING that would fall into that...

  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...

  For the past 10 days, if I haven't felt perfectly Normal, I was at least on an even keel.  Not so today.  I don't want to go through the whole thing; suffice it to say that it is 8:30am, and I'm...

  Days 1-8, especially 3 & 4, were very rough. (See previous Journal Entries).....but suddenly, it's changed! I woke up Sunday (Day 9) and I felt....NORMAL!! no Morning Fight, no sadness! For the...

Okay....I started with the Minivelle patch late Friday night. The doc said that it would take a couple days to a week for my body to get used to it. At the beginning of next month, we will add...

  I just got back from visiting my mom's sister and her family on the east coast. We had a WONDERFUL time....except for my becoming menopausal and depressed about halfway through the visit. Crying...

  Just spent the last hour crying in the yard. The whole day has been hellish; the morning fight, sadness, fatigue, achiness and digestive issues. I went to brunch with my DH and daughter,...

I've tried to write three different journal entries since the last one. Each time, when I was finished and tried to submit it, the website didn't respond, and in recovering the website, I lost the...

Last Friday was GREAT- no morning fight, high energy, happiness! Saturday was ok, Sunday was not so good, Monday was AWFUL (although no panic attacks, thank Goddess), yesterday was not as bad, but...

We went out for sushi to celebrate Father's Day. After a day of light bites here and there, I piled it on with fatty fish. Now I'm sorry. Very sorry.For the umpteenth time, I wonder how much of this...

  I had  a WONDERFUL couple days of Normalcy (including one that did NOT start out with the usual morning routine of talking myself out of feeling bad!); Energy! Optimism! Feeling happy! I got a...
