Pretty sure I have another ovarian cyst.

[flamingsword]

I had kind of forgotten that intense sharp pain would make me shaky, sweaty, and nauseous. I haven’t had cramps this bad since the Thanksgiving when I couldn’t stand up, and that turned out to be ovarian cysts, so I’m very sure that this is, too. It was about 12 years ago, and not only can I feel the pain in the same places, but I can feel a lumpy place where one of the ovaries should be.

I haven’t had my breakfast protein yet, so my system is getting shakier than usual as well. But I think that standing up straight would be a shitshow right now, and the meds still have not taken enough of the edge off the sharp to be ignoring the nausea. I am dealing, mostly by ignoring my body and either reading or surfing social media. It will go away eventually and I will be fine, it just sucks until then.

Menopause can’t happen fast enough, really.

In other news, I would appreciate links to cute shit and memes. Help me throw this day down the memory hole, please.

Thank you!

Ugh, sympathies. I can't wait for menopause.

My periods are starting to get closer together, which is what Mom’s did right before she hit the change. I just have to ... give up caffeine for a few months ... til the cyst goes back down. 😢

:( I'm so sorry. Have you spoken with a doctor about this yet?

[flamingsword]

No, but I will put it on the list for the PCP televisit on Friday.

I am no longer having the terrible cramps, and thank you for the historical animal love.
