Hormones

I feel silly talking about hormones.  Yet, this is where I am at.  I ran out of progesterone two days ago and I feel the affect of it.  I think anyway!

I am more anxious in my belly and my head seems more imbalanced.  I feel more out of my body.  It's harder to grasp anything mentally.

My skin is certainly starting to feel softer and more pliable and I felt an immediate STOP to this without the progesterone.

I don't know if I am nuts or if I really feel this.  Can it be my imagination.  I think it can and I don't think it is.

So, I just took a dose because it came by mail and I'll see what happens next.

Progesterone is produced in a greater amount when we women get pregnant.  While I was pregnant, 17 years ago, I had no symptoms of scleroderma.  This is why I am trying this hormone now.

It is calming.  Also, when I went from a high dose to a low dose on my monthly schedule, I almost immediately started to develop ulcers on my fingers.  I have one really small one on my toe presently.

Trials and tribulations of being me, being human and being female. 

Life.  It's a beautiful thing filled with ugly things.

Where is your focus today?  The beauty or the beastiness of life?  How does it feel inside of you?
