Girlie Talk...Beware!

7 months is far too long to go without a new blog entry!  What have I been thinking?!  Maybe I just haven't found the right source of inspiration.  I haven't been moved to the point of needing to express myself via written avenues.  BUT!  I told my friend Liz I needed to write so here it is. :)

Is it appropriate to write about how much I hate my cycle(of course it is dummy...it's YOUR blog after all).  Seriously. I hate my time of month.  It's just so damn uncomfortable and icky and just bleh.  And mine is just all sorts of bad.  I get the heavy days, the bloating, and the cramping....ugh!  The cramping is the w-o-r-s-t! My surefire way of assuaging the pain that comes with my cycle is normally a couple of Excedrin Migraine (a divine combo of acetaminophen and caffeine).  WELL, guess who recently (well since right after I wrote my last blog at least)has developed an allergic reaction to caffeine? *points to self* SO, any time I have caffeine now it does a combination of at least two of three things:
1.)Heart rate off the charts
2.)Lips puff up bigger than Angelina Jolie's
3.)Right Cheek goes numb
NOW, normally its #1 paired with 2 or 3...here lately I've had more the cheek than the lips. So, to add insult to injury, I can no longer take my "go to" pain reliever because it causes other problems entirely.  I have gotten to the point where the pain was so unbearable that I just had to suck it up and take the Excedrin, but that is usually chased with a Zyrtec pill to even out the allergic reaction, but damn.  I suppose its a good thing to have happened since I was trying to ween myself off of caffeine anyway, but geez!  I'd like to be able to have it when I need it, but apparently my body says NO!  Wish it would do that when it got hungry instead of craving shit that is no good for me.  LOL
Honestly I must have had this allergy for years, because I was breaking out in hives for awhile.  I figured it was brought on by stress, but ever since I stopped having caffeinated drinks (soda/coffee) I don't have the hives anymore either.  Thank god for that!  I only really miss the caffeine when I'm in pain...so...I'll live I suppose.
So it's short, but it was a mini rant cuz it's day 2 and I'm kinda in pain...BUT I've got a lot done today trying to ignore the pain since I can't take anything for it.
