Woohoo!

Okay... the past month and a half have sucked, health-wise. Boobs are still leaking, they hurt, and now my right one (previously an A cup) is now AS BIG as the left one - which is a bit over a B but nowhere near a C. HELLO. That ain't right, ladies!! *lol*

Do not ever let someone tell you there's nothing wrong with you if it's YOUR body and YOU can see the problems going on. My old OB's office basically just kind of gave me the "shrug" treatment and said it looks fine. Well, it's NOT fine. I'm going to get my 2nd opinion tomorrow morning. =)

And this afternoon, I meet with my counselor to go over all of it. She's got FM, so I think that's really going to help - not like she's dealing with the same thing, but since all of this breast crap started... man, I am HURTING. I'm exhausted twice as much as usual, I'm worrying less oddly, and I'm just overall not in a very good place. I'm achy worse than usual, I've been getting cluster headaches and normally I get sinus headaches or migraines. It's been YEARS since cluster headaches!

Plus, since caffeine is supposed to make breast pain worse, I've been super low on caffeine intake for the last month and a half now. Two months? Either way. SUCKS. *lol* Don't get addicted to coffee/tea/caffeine, people. Seriously. Cuz when you have to stop, your life SUCKS. I suspect htat's leading to the cluster headaches but it's hard to say.

So aside from all of that stuff, I'm just having really, really weird dreams. All of a sudden I'm sleeping through the night, not even bathroom get-up trips lately... where the heck did -that- come from?! Not that I mind!! *lol* But it's just another what the heck item for me right now.

Still no luck on the job front, which is NOT good. We need new windows and a new back door before the hard freezes hit next month, and the husband is gonna have to cover that from savings. =( I'm totally strapped for cash and it's looking like the holidays are going to really, really be lame this year. I have homemade liquers setting up right now, so there's going to be some interesting stuff like that for gifts instead of expensive things. At least his side of the family has asked for "consumables" for gifts! PHEW!

I'm really trying to eat well, too, and I'm doing a crappy job at it. Not a lot of veggies lately, and I'm feeling guilty. So tonight is gonna be some fresh bison spaghetti with lots of fresh veggies and whole-wheat pasta. And wine!! YUM.

Anyway, I know if I don't sya something on here at least once a week, I'll forget - and I'm forgetful enough as-is!!

Hope y'all are havin an awesome week! Hope for my boobs!! *lol*

Hope all goes well with your dr. appt. this morning.

I agree, the stuff going on with your boobs is not normal and a second opinion is warranted. I hate it when a doctor basically tells you to "take a hike" without saying it...and that is exactly what the doc is saying when they shrug something off as being ok! Like you said, who better knows your body than yourself!

Good luck at getting some answers and relief soon!
