August Twenty Third

I skipped a day again. I was tired yesterday. And today was a little rough. I had to come to terms with my health a little. I push myself a lot. I ignore my body a lot. I do it because I always want to do more, do better, keep going. And I can't. I really need to take a step back and find my balance. I have a plan, though! And I'll share it little by little as I think putting it out there may just make me stick to it.

First, I am arranging to take a leave from work for a little bit. I am seeing a plethora of doctors next month, both new and old. My goal is to have them help me solve these migraines that have been leading to bigger and bigger flare ups. I need to get on the correct HRT that will help me avoid both the migraines/flare ups and the faster return of pain causing Endo lesions.

Once that is done, I need to really balance what I can and can't do. If I have to limit my work hours to relieve some stress, then I need to stick to that. And I also have to learn to listen to my body even better to prevent these flare ups the best I can. This is going to be a work in progress, because I'm such a Type A personality.

The rest will unfold as time goes on. Tomorrow will probably be my last day at work at least until the end of September. Then, I can focus on getting these appointments taken care of and start focusing on feeling better. I'm not going to say getting better because I will never be "better," but at least I can work on things to keep me feeling better longer.

I also will hopefully have more time to work on this blogs and my other blog (stay tuned!) and that other blog that I am excited to submit to. I have a lot to say!

In the meantime, send me all the positive energy you can spare (and maybe an extra spoon or two)!

Nyte!
