Return from the land of hot flashes
I obviously took a lengthy hiatus from posting in my blog, or at least from posting publicly. I have written a handful of posts in the past few months, but for all your sakes, I made them private. All the posts I wrote while on Lupron were emotional diatribes about how horrible I felt while I was on Lupron. In summary: it was horrible.

I had headaches, hot flashes, weight gain, joint aches, and bitching mood swings. I completely lost sight of why I had decided to engage in those six months of hell. I yelled and cried a lot. Tom miraculously put up with me and is not too much worse for the wear, though I may have threatened him with bodily harm more than a few times.

I had my last injection over a month ago, so I am slowly going back to semi-normalcy. I say "semi" because I am still taking progesterone pills to prevent me from ovulating. I am still a bit moody and extremely prone to weight gain and pimples...lovely side effects for any bride-to-be to deal with. But at least my body is not completely devoid of all estrogen.

So, as the Lupron leaves my body and the estrogen returns, I thought I would celebrate feeling more like myself again by writing again.

Ironically, I seem to have written about how horrible I felt on Lupron yet again. I promise, this is the last one. Tomorrow I will rant about how much I hate wedding planning!
