Are you perimenopausal? Do you suffer from Fibromyalgia, Lupus or another arthritic condition?<\/em>\u00a0<\/h2>\n
\u00a0<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

If so, you may have noticed your pain levels have increased during your cycle. Perhaps you have more severe migraines, more intense pain, etc.\u00a0<\/p>\n

People with Fibromyalgia get a different type of migraine than the usual kind. These migraines don’t just affect the head; they are whole-body-encompassing, including all the joints and ligaments. Literally any moving body part hurts, along with the fuzzy, hazy headache that begins slowly, creeping over the body and consumes you.<\/p>\n

If you suffer from these debilitating migraines, you know exactly what I mean!<\/em><\/h3>\n

Any stage of menopause can ascorbates these types of migraines, making them more intense and cycle-dependable. Meaning, you know you’ll get one when your cycle hits.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I have logged my cycles and symptoms for over a year. What I have learned about my body is the predictability of these symptoms to be true. Now, when<\/em> my cycle begins is not as predictable!\u00a0 I am perimenopausal so I may start at 23 days or as long as 36 days. However, what is<\/em> predictable are the symptoms once the cycle begins.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I am not usually a medication taker…but, when I feel that migraine “sitting” on the shelf in my head, I have learned that 600mg of Ibuprofen will help ward it off, if I catch if soon enough! Once I take the meds, I can literally feel<\/em> the battle of the pain fighting with the Ibuprofen and that pain is worse than anything!<\/p>\n

I have to sleep it off. <\/em><\/h2>\n

The pain is way too intense-even for this high-pain-tolerance personality! A quiet room, a warm cloth over my eyes, or a helpful back or neck rub, will all help to ease the pain.<\/p>\n

Knowing this about Fibromyalgia can help you with planning out your weeks<\/em>.\u00a0<\/h3>\n

I have found keeping a low-key schedule the week my cycle is due is best. Is this always possible? NO!! Life sure seems to get in the way!! But, I do try to have some control over these times of the month by not planning doctor appointments, outings and family-get togethers. It really makes a difference, if you can!<\/p>\n

So, try keeping a log of your symptoms! You’ll be surprised at how much you can manage your pain!<\/em><\/h4>\n

God Bless you in your pain journey!<\/p>\n
