what do doctors really know......?

First of all, Aunt Kriss, I am so glad that you are now a follower. I love family!

I have been struggling with migraines a lot lately. I don't really know why, except that my stress level has increased. And I get them around my cycle. That seems pretty normal, as I have talked with many women who deal with the same thing. However, it seemed more complicated when for about a month I had migraines twice a week or so.

Plus, I cry at the drop of a pin. My emotions are so out of control. Plus I have been having some extreme mood swings. One minute I am happy and energetic, the next I am angry and frustrated. I don't know why.

I thought maybe that I might be pregnant, but I'm not.

Then I began to think my hormone levels were off somehow. It just really isn't like me to be so off. In so many ways. I made an appointment with my OBGYN to see if he would test my hormones to figure out why I have migraines and all the other stuff.

Three minutes after coming into the room, he answered a phone call from his wife. "Yes dear, I'll be out in a couple of minutes", he said. He asked me if my periods were regular, and I said yes. "Then your hormone levels are normal. There is nothing else I can do for you, unless you want some medication for the migraines."

Thanks for nothing. Wouldn't even test me. I was so disappointed and frustrated. Now what? Another appointment with another doctor? I just don't know quite what to do at this point. Maybe I am pushing something that doesn't need to be pushed.

But have you ever felt like something wasn't right, and no one would believe you? That's how I feel.

Any advice?

Welcome!

Hi just wanted to welcome Sandra as my newest follower. They don't come very often, so I love it when I get to say YAY!!!

Today is Monday, and I woke up at 5:15.

Then I brushed my teeth.

Got in the shower.

Got dressed.

Blow dried my hair.

Then my puppy looked so cute sitting there on my bed, that I crawled back into bed to cuddle with him for a minute. (Husband was too tired to cuddle)

Then I got out of bed at 5:55.

Then I packed a lunch. (Spaghetti squash and cheese)

Then I did my make-up, while watching Betty la fea.

Then I put on my shoes and grabbed my school bag.

Then I go in my car at 6:20 ish.

Then I forgot to put on my wedding ring.

Then I drove away and got to school and slept with my head on my desk for a good 20 minutes. Till a student knocked on my door and woke me up. Darn kids. ;)

Today is a monday!

toilet papering

Do you remember when you went toilet papering last?

I do.

It was at the neighbors house.

After we felt bad.

So we helped them clean it up.

We are silly.

I woke up the other day, and realized I had been toilet papered.

I was slightly upset.

It is such a pain to clean up.

Especially when it was done by YOUR DOG!!!!



That darn animal! He loves to destroy my toilet paper.

Someday...
Somehow...
I will get even.

Modern-Day LDS Pioneers - Growth of the Mormon Church - 3/8

I just want you all to know that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is true. In all the turmoil and discontent in the world, there is peace in knowing that God loves us and the He has a plan for us.

I sit at my desk this morning, with tears in my eyes as I watched this video. My heart is touched by the strength of the members of the church. And in many ways, my heart longs to be back in Latin America, where I will always feel at home.
