Hormones: The Joys of Womanhood

It has truly been a privilege to experience the wonder, excitement, pain, love, and everything else that comes with motherhood. But those damn hormones.....I can't quite make up my mind if I love 'em or hate 'em. What brings this up you might wonder? Well....it's THAT week of the month again, and once again I'm battling a migraine. I know I know...migraines can be triggered by so many different things...but when they occur at the same time of just about every month, there's a good chance the cause is hormonal or the change in hormone levels. UGH. I also hear the darn things could be responsible for my bald patch on the side of my head. What is up with that?? Am I perimenopausal?? Already?? Ok...maybe, I am not so young anymore, so it could be. But how do we really know? I'm getting tired of using the 'Oh - it's not my fault - it's the hormones talking' excuse. Not to mention I'm sick of the headaches every month...
Well I guess I'll know what to ask at my next Dr.'s appointment...

  2. No...we've had that conversation. My head doesn't itch, isn't uber-sensitive, and it is just 1 patch, not everywhere on my head. I think hers is much more stress related. makes sense too given everything: work, relationship, etc....
