Brain Cheese and some horrific cramps. Disclaimer, not a palatable topic for some, especially the males reading this bog. Proceed at your own risk.
Too long I have walked this path of darkness and pain. I get trapped in this uncontrollable state of mind where I can almost hear the thoughts of others but I wish I could turn it all off. My joints ache for weeks on end. I feel at times as though I'm losing my mind. I wonder when the cramping will end. My head aches and I am nauseated.
The good news is that this only happens once a month and only for two weeks. No biggie. It's unpredictable how my body will react each month. At times it is not so bad. I am full of energy. I am motivated. I am a little less psycho.
Then there are mornings like this. I have ingested three ibuprofin and still the cramps haunt me.
For years I have wondered... Why does this thing with fangs and claws stalk me? I have gone to doctors and nurse practitioners with the same complaints and none has given me answers. I have tried hormones and no hormones. Both have their problems. I am off the hormones again but now I pay in blood and added pain (I know TMI). Is MS the reason? It is the only decent explanation that I have thought of yet.
