In re the headache/migraine - could it be related to blood loss? I'm just asking because a co-worker complained about a really bad headache due to heavy bleeding, so I thought maybe.
A good thought, Toddson, but it often happens in the days leading up to the start of the period, and ceases when the flow starts. This time it was different and coincided with the period.
I apologize for the TMI, y'all. I've just been really miserable the last few days and needed someone to whine at.
Erin, the last GYN I saw was really good, and I'm going back to her. If she can't help me, then the search will be on.
Honestly, one of the deciding factors for me going off antidepressants was not wanting to go hunting for *another* psychiatrist and therapist. I can't tell the story of my life again; I'm sick of it.
You'll all PAY! I'll NEVER watch television AGAIN!
That's fantastic.

I know my migraines abated mightily once the fibroids were discovered and the subsequent surgery. In fact, last week I had my first full-out, lasted more than a couple of hours, knock me on my ass migraine since the surgery (2.5 years ago).
Oh yeah, once I had my hysterectomy, my migraines went from one or two a week to one or two a YEAR.
Poached eggs are my bitch!
I decided to try a simple sauce and after a quick peruse of various options online I rummaged through my fridge and made a sauce out of sour cream, dijon mustard and fresh dill and it was so goooooood. Served it on top of a hash brown patty instead of an English muffin.
This is good. Now I can try the poached egg on some dinner dishes for JZ and finesse a little more protein into her diet.
My mother has assured me that either childbirth or menopause will fix my headaches right up.
Eggs. Blah.
My god, why do I still want Nutella?
My god, why do I still want Nutella?
Because it’s way better than childbirth or menopause?
Re: migraines, times of the month, etc.
So, I had really bad pain monthly, starting from age 16. Back in the day, aspirin would not cut the pain, and when advil was available OTC that was a fucking wonder drug. I learned since that I could take 3 tablets, and then 4 (responsibly), but after the pain, etc. got really bad about 5 years ago, I had to have a fibroid removed. the doctors thought that such a small fibroid wasn't likely to cause all of my symptoms, but when it came out, I didn't need to be on advil AND vicodin 2 days of every month.
I want Hec's poached eggs on hash browns. (Although I'm not a huge fan of dill.)
Instead, I am having a Pop-Tart. (I plan to make up for this by going and having yummy Mexican and margaritas once I know the kids are safe and in the keeping of their grandparents.)
Dill with it.
Oooh, herby snap!
The only reason I have fresh dill is because JZ got a bunch to make Tzatziki. But it's lasted surprisingly long in the fridge and it works well with tangy/creamy stuff. Plus it has a lot of visual appeal to me. It's very delicate when you mince it up.
I wonder what other sauces I can put on poached eggs besides Hollandaise...
