What if an imbalance of my hormones play a large role in my heightened pain and symptom intolerance?
Now, it could simply be that I’m decreasing by more and more each week and so it’s all part of the process and has nothing to do with a hormonal imbalance, but I’m a thinker like that and I have two more cycles to go before my 77 days to freedom ends and I plan to pay attention.
My Symptoms
I woke up with a stabbing pain on the side of my left temple, carried it with me throughout the day and went to sleep with that same pain and awoke once again with it. BUT, I’ve had mental clarity in both yesterday morning and this morning. There’s a win for me, small one but a victory all the same. I’ve learned to take each day, one by one, as they come and loosen my grip as they go. Each day is very different from the last and that’s okay because if one day is bad that doesn’t necessarily mean the next day will be as well. My torments usually come in 24 hour packages and then switch up their pace. Lol, each day is like a surprise.
For those of you reading this blog, either identifying with or curious about it, you do not stand alone in this nor do I stand alone in this. It’s how we push ourselves to get out of the chaos regardless of how we got into it. If you need to cry, cry. If you need to sleep it away, sleep it away. And when you’ve had your fill for the day start again. Tomorrow will come no matter how you feel about it, I encourage you to focus on the blessings in your life and take each wave as it comes. I promise you, no one pain is forever.
