Whingeing

[kiya]

I hate hot flashes.

I hate getting suddenly hit with stabbity cramps when at the checkout counter at the store and thus being socially required to not double over and yelp or moan or otherwise express FUCK THAT HURTS.

I hate migraines, but at least that's better than it was last night, I'm just getting sketchy bits of hinting that it could come back if I move my head too quickly.

Also, if I could figure out what caused the sharp stabbing pain in my left shoulderblade that felt like it went completely through me and came out the other side, that would be nice, so I could hate that too.

You know, I had some really interesting results around experimenting with kala and migraines...largely fueled by "well, if it hurts any worse I'll pass out anyway."

Hot flashes are the real kicker for me. I can manage all kinds of discomfort and pain, but when I feel the heat rising in my face and head, it makes everything else feel that much worse - and makes me want to kill somebody, too.

Ah yes, my life once a month in my teens. I'm not exactly sure why it went away, but I am happy and grateful every single month. I think for me exercise made a difference, and possibly ibuprofen (it wasn't available in my teens, aspirin just makes me throw it up again).
