Well I'm up a little more. But I guess it could be a lot worst, considering I have had my period for the last 3 weeks and this week is the heaviest so far, along with my appetite. I'm not use to being hungry so much and I'm having troubles saying "no" to a lot of food that I normally wouldn't eat. It’s getting frustrating!
I know it could be a lot worse, I mean some girls fluctuate like 10 pounds when they have their monthly friend, so I'm not going to complain too much, it's just my appetite that is really irritating me this week.
Also on Monday night when I was doing my weight training at the gym I hurt myself really bad. I must have pulled something or pinched something but the outcome was the worst headache I have ever had. I knew right away when I did it too. I was in the middle of a set working on my chest and I got a crazy sharp pain from my shoulder right up through my neck and into my head, the pain pounded so hard in my head that I had to drop the weights and stop right in mid lift. I stopped working on my arms right after that and just did some work on my legs for a while, but then I was feeling better and I went back to lift with my arms. I was doing the pull down bar working on my arms and back and it happened again, this time it didn't go away and I had to stop working out all together.
I went home and went straight to bed with the worst headache I have ever had and slept from 7:30 right threw till my alarm went off the next morning at 5:30. When I woke up in the morning the headache was still there! That has never happened to me before. So work yesterday was not fun at all, probably one of the worse days ever.
I left work early and went to see my massage therapist and she worked on my back, neck and head for a straight hour. She said that I was stupid tight and that I have to come back in a week because I was too tight for her to be able to get all my knots and kinks out in one treatment without aggravating my muscles even more than they already were. So i'll go back and see her again next week for another beating.
Today my headache is GONE, thank god! I really couldn't have taken another day like yesterday. Is it normal to get really stupid sore after a massage? Like my muscles are so sore I can't even put my bra straps up on my shoulders or carry my purse on my shoulder. My muscles do get sore like this every time I get a massage, maybe I'm just a suck? It's just that no one else I know complains about being this sore after a massage, so I wonder if it's normal (or maybe I just like to complain more than everyone else???)
Anyways, sore muscles and cramps, no big deal I can handle that. They say that pain makes you stronger, doesn't it? LOL.
Well thanks for listening to me vent. Have a great day!!

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger! (Thanks Kelly) Glad your headache is gone. I'm sure your massage therapist worked you over and you are extra sore because of it. Yes, lots of people are crazy sore after a deep tissue massage. Make sure you drink your water and it should feel better in a day or two.

So glad your headache is gone.
As far as being sore after a massage it is absolutely normal. I have had massages that I didn't feel sore, BUT I also did not feel I got much benefit out of it. If you have really tight muscles they are trying to work out then it should hurt, and I have even had bruises after it sometimes. Take Iburpofen and drink lots of water and keep moving. If you guard it and hold it still it will be more sore than if you move it.
My massage therapist will tell me if I am going to be sore the next day based on how she worked on me.

and as far as your period goes, That really sucks having it for so long. I know when I was having regular periods I was one of them that would gain 5-8lbs and feel like I waddle and I want to eat EVERYTHING in sight. In Sept Dr. switched my Birthcontol to a 3 month cycle and I have not had a period since.

I am on birth control pills but all of a sudden there not working any more, and that is the only reason I have been on birth control since I was 15, is to control my wacky menstrual cycle. I have an appointment with my OBGYN in the beginning of July so I guess I'll see what she suggests then. And thank you ladies for letting me know that I'm not a suck and it's normal, sometimes that's all you need!

I know that women are supposed to take breaks from BC throughout the years. Have you taken breaks? Also, I had a friend that had periods like that (2-4 weeks at a time). She had fibroids. A lot of fibroids! You should tell your general practitioner. He/she might schedule an untrasound so they can see and share with your gyno. Thinking of you!

Crazy but true, less than 24hours after reading your journal I did almost the same thing at the gym and the result was a migraine. I was doing bi-cep curls and upped the weights toooo high. By my third set it felt like a blood vessel broke in the back of my head. It was painful and scary. Spent 4hours in the emergency room and had a CT scan. All was good there, thankfully,and they said it was a migrane. I rarely even have headaches and sure dont want to start having migraines. Took two days but better now. Hope that doesnt happen to either of us again, or anyone else.

Tarla, I'm going to BEG you to see a doctor about that abnormal bleeding. It's really, REALLY important.
