What gives? ?
Mar 12^th, 2009 at 11:32am

The weather's been crazy here! It's 25○ right now. Tuesday it was 78○. It's been going back and forth for a while.

I'm noticing that when we have a few nice days in a row, I am shadowing lots. When it turns cold again I feel fine. When I look back it seems that the earlier the weather turns nice, the sooner and longer my cycles are.

Even after 28 years I'm still trying to figure this all out. Undecided

PF wishes,

Jeannie

Darlin, I have had this for 30 years, now. I guess my longer experience has allowed me to figure it out. Wink

Let me explain it for you: As SOON as you think you have it worked out, and know what to expect, the beast morphs on you ... JUST to mess with your head. It is the nature of the beast.

It is almost like having a toddler, running wild, in your head, with an icepick, for 28 or 30 or whatever years!

Hang in there, girl, YOU can make it through this!

Reply #4 - Mar 13^th, 2009 at 10:06am It sucks to look forward to and DREAD the warm weather all at the same time! Sometimes I think I imagine it. It's nice to know I'm not crazy! Thanks for letting me know that it happens to you guys as well. I'm sorry it does though! Jeannie

Reply #5 - Mar 13^th, 2009 at 10:12am I understand the dread, however, being chronic means I always have to have my tools (oxygen and imitrex) at the ready. The knowledge that I'm prepared with the tools offsets the dread for me. Pehaps it could help you too. Wishing you well, Ray

Watch the barometer... I started doing this and when it's rising my head morphs up big time. When it's falling - I do really well. Above 30, I get hit - below I have a nice day.

I HATE this time of year. We had spring last week and now it's winter again - supposed to have spring starting again Tuesday... It's been raining since last Wednesday and below freezing every night... Next week it's going to be in the 80s -- I feel like someone is standing at the backdoor with a sledge-hammer.... Oh well - such is the life of a CHer....

Hugs BD
