At Ease... For Now.

Thank you all for your thoughtful and informative comments on my last post. They have certainly put me at ease for the moment. I had really started to freak myself out with all of the worst case scenario thoughts. The more I read your comments, the more I recall reading how much your breasts change post pregnancy/breast feeding, and your body in general...

While my cycles have been normal since getting my period back in October, my PMS is totally off the grid. I used to get cripplingly sore breasts (for 7-10 days before and during!), lower back pain and a migraine on CD1. In that order. Now, I am sad to say, I turn into a big bag of crazy the day of. Rage being the primary emotion. And it appears that only chocolate can appease the monster. I'm a walking, talking, screaming fricken cliche... But hey, at least I got to keep the migraines! Wait... Oh, and now I get cramps, which blows on top of all that. Why am I telling you this? I decided to write about it instead of screaming it from a roof top with a hostage. So much less work.

Anyhoo, quick thing about the email comments on my last post. I understand the laws for HIPPA regarding medical info. I really just meant that I wish she could have emailed the Mammogram and u/s requisitions. The nurses with my RE used to email my blood test req forms all the time. Would have been nice to have them the day of, instead having to wait a week for them via snail mail.  So I got the req's in the mail yesterday, and my appointment is next Friday.  They told me to allow 2 hours for the whole appointment. I will also be doing routine blood work, so I'm thinking of heading there early and treating myself to a nice breakfast downtown, in between the two appointments. 

Stay Tuned...
