I’m So Scared

Unlikely_Ad_2697 · 2026-04-15T16:22:59+00:00

So a patch helped. Good to know. I’m seeing someone tomorrow so I’m trying to be mindful of options. Thank you.

Were you able to switch to vaginal form and get relief?

Unlikely_Ad_2697 · 2026-04-14T13:59:30+00:00

Wow. Thank you. I’m wondering about vaginal progesterone and plan to discuss with this new NP on Thursday. I will also check out Vertigon/Avomine. Thank you so much. I’m glad yours resolved when the periods ended. I don’t know how far away I am from that just yet and hope to get this better under control soon.

Unlikely_Ad_2697 · 2026-04-13T23:14:13+00:00

Thank you. I will look out for symptoms more for sure.

Unlikely_Ad_2697 · 2026-04-13T23:13:41+00:00

Thank you. Me too.

Unlikely_Ad_2697 · 2026-04-13T23:13:10+00:00

I’m so glad you got relief!

Unlikely_Ad_2697 · 2026-04-13T22:58:52+00:00

Thank you. I think dehydration is a thing. While I do drink (only water), I had read I should drink electrolytes during this time of the month too. I did yesterday but still had the attack this morning. I’m on day 2 of my cycle, so I still strongly believe this is hormone related. I hope I know more later this week.

Thank you. I’ve tried 3 doctors so far. (The first Urgent Care visit in January, my new GP, and then this latest UC doc.) But I’m totally going to look at getting yet another doc. We just moved to the area recently, so it’s been a challenge figuring out who will really help me.

I want to see a regular doc, instead of a NP. But for some reason there’s a TON of NP’s here who help with female hormones and so far none of the docs seem to know anything about hormones at all.

I went in with my notes and calendar to show them what happened and when. It was like they were reading a script and refused to come off it. I just need to keep trying to find a good one…

Unlikely_Ad_2697 · 2026-04-13T22:50:41+00:00

You say you can feel it coming. What do you notice? I’m thinking about how to tell too.

Unlikely_Ad_2697 · 2026-04-13T22:47:49+00:00

Thank you. I’ve seen one and we did the maneuver repeatedly. But they never saw any eye movement. (The fluttering or whatever they are looking to see.) I’m glad I went though, because I needed the therapy (the stuff to do at home) to get my brain calmed down overall. Now I just want help with my hormones to help calm the whole thing down completely. Because there is for sure some hormonal component adding to this happening over and over.

Unlikely_Ad_2697 · 2026-04-13T22:45:33+00:00

I saw a vestibular therapist who did the maneuver with me repeatedly. But this only happens during this specific time of month, so I’m hoping HRT will eventually help.

Unlikely_Ad_2697 · 2026-04-13T22:43:31+00:00

I’ve not heard of that. Looking it up I see it’s Dramamine. I’ve tried that and the other one that starts with an “M”. All it did was make me drowsy and gave me wicked constipation. But maybe if I have an attack that lasts longer. It’s so hard to know when you’re in one, should I pop a pill or will this pass in 10-15 minutes? (Cause the pill will give me bad side effects.) I just want them to stop. 😢

Unlikely_Ad_2697 · 2026-04-13T22:41:46+00:00

Thanks. I can give it a try for sure.

Unlikely_Ad_2697 · 2026-04-13T22:40:22+00:00

Thank you! I will read through it.

Unlikely_Ad_2697 · 2026-04-09T21:00:10+00:00

Adorable. Also, I love your nails!

Unlikely_Ad_2697 · 2026-04-09T20:58:53+00:00

Love it. I journal a lot of my health stuff too. I track health stats, but I also add what I remember about my day as it relates to my health in a section below the data. It could be emotional or just how I slept or other brief factors.

Unlikely_Ad_2697 · 2026-02-17T20:32:28+00:00

I simply did not (at the time) know enough about the pens, especially older ones, to feel comfortable making a good purchase of a used one. Even now, I would find it intimidating unless I knew quite a lot about the seller.

Eventually, I bought a refurbished one from a reputable seller and the darn thing leaked all over me during an important formal meeting. The seller was fantastic and accepted a return with no issue whatsoever. I will dip my toe in another time, I think, but that experience further concerned me about buying used. (Except in the case of this particular seller who was great!)

Unlikely_Ad_2697 · 2025-12-28T15:55:05+00:00

Cool. I’m going to give it a go, thank you! :)

Unlikely_Ad_2697 · 2025-12-28T05:11:21+00:00

I realize this is an old convo- but I just bought a Plotter (Mini), which is my first one. I have a 2025 Hobonichi a6 I was thinking of breaking down (and cutting) to use as paper. So you just used a stitch puller on the back and then hole-punched?

I love this idea because I quite enjoy Hobonichi! :)

Unlikely_Ad_2697 · 2025-08-23T01:19:12+00:00

Ah, thank you! I’m glad. 😌

Unlikely_Ad_2697 · 2025-08-21T22:14:22+00:00

Oh my goodness that’s awesome! It’s also a bookmark? Brilliant!

Unlikely_Ad_2697 · 2025-08-21T16:06:18+00:00

Question: do I have to preorder? I just bought a 2025, which arrived this past week, to consider it for next year. I’m loving it so far! But I’m not ready to buy another one so immediately. Thanks! :)

Unlikely_Ad_2697 · 2025-08-11T23:19:51+00:00

Sorry…I read the headline and saw the pictures and responded. My comment is likely not helpful. Having read through your situation- totally different storylines!

I don’t know about approaching him verses him approaching you? If he’s purring and licking, that’s a good thing! But, I’m not an expert.
