The Family's Health...Starting with Me.
Naturally, taking care of the family health is the next thing on my list to do after getting settled in. I've been taking a look at how everyone is doing. Determining who needs attention and make the necessary appointments. Also, addressing the annual well-baby medical check ups and dental cleanings. I can see the boys are pretty much healthy and happy. My husband insists that he is fine and he will make the necessary appointment for himself. I push him to care for himself anyway. So, I recently had to look at my own health. After having four children, my body had taken on many changes. There was no identifying me by constant characteristics. Pregnancy does those things to you. Now, that I have stopped having children. My body has been settling into a certain metabolism that I'm trying to understand and manage. I am not happy with how it's going. I tend to get very stormy. Impatient. Dependant on my husband. Fearful. Depressed. Angry and (sad to say) rage. I've been concerned with the range of emotions that I have been dealing with. I am reduced to a puddle of tears. I am emotionally and physically exhausted. I become unproductive for the next 24 hours. I sit in my comfy chair or sequester myself to my room to read. So my children won't see me get so emotional. (Also, to reduce the confrontational interactions with the kids.) Then, miraculously, I would be relieved and relaxed the next day my period starts. The flow is light and normal. At first, I thought I was bi polar, with all the stories going around. That would be quite scary and dramatic. I don't think so. I have noticed that there is definatly something different and darker building up to...THE DAY....before the start of my period. I have never before experienced this pre-children. Could this be severe PMS? I would be relieved to know that this is, what it is. Could I remedy it by natural means? I am looking for answers and remedies. 1 comments from 1 users

It sounds like you have a lot on your plate (to say the least.) I think it's great that you are concerned about your health. I would definitely find a health professional to help you with your period: he or she could have good options for you. Good luck!
