Yes, I said good morning! After a good night's sleep and a good doctor's visit yesterday, I am feeling much better. I was up at 5:45 am and have already written 3 pages (I'm starting The Artist's Way course today), made and eaten breakfast (2 waffles and 2 fried eggs, yum!), drank a pot of tea, made apricot chicken and buttered rice for dinner, done my email and am now onto LJ. Not bad for a non-morning person.
It's the Snooch icon today, which means...I'm getting into SCA mode! I can't wait for GNEW this weekend. I need to make some new garb tonight - I'm pulling out the sewing machine and going to make some more t-tunic dresses. I have enough cotton to do a few, and I need them.
So, Mom came with me to my doctor's visit yesterday - I was (as of yesterday) STILL bleeding, for the 3rd week - and this was the 2nd period in a row that I had had my period last more than 2 weeks. Something was definitely wrong.
Luckily, my doctor actually takes the time to KNOW her patients, to LISTEN to them and to TALK to them like thinking human beings. I adore her. She listened to both of us and talked about the various options for treatment.
They think it's a hormone imbalance - I'm starting to exercise and eat right, which is breaking up fat cells - breaking them down into estrogen. So basically, I'm flooded with estrogen, which is making my period act up. The treatment plan is to get things straightened out by putting me on progesterone this month, to stop the bleeding (although I think it might be stopped now - who knows), and then, next month, I'm going on Seasonale to regulate things.
FOUR periods a year. I cannot WAIT.
If this doesn't work (ie, I don't stop bleeding), there are some other things we can try, but I'm hopeful this will work.
So, now I need to get dressed for work. Onward and upward, as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cbpotts would say!
(oh, did I mention the SUN IS SHINING?????)
