Random things

--Am attempting to stay awake at work. Had migraine this morning (at doctor's office! hah!), took Relpax, it finally went away after lunch, but between the Relpax and kitten-induced insomnia, can barely stay awake.

--At doctor's office I complained about migraines every. single. month. so she's having me try Yaz now, which has a much lower dose of estrogen, the crashing of which is thought to trigger migraines, and has fewer of the placebo pills, so more days on the hormones. Hopefully it works!

--Introduced the cats officially last night because I got tired of Sora's increased sneakiness at being able to escape the bedroom every chance he gets. They had a few confrontations which appear to all be domination contests - Nefer stops attacking after she whacks him down so his belly's exposed. He's still not really accepting that his lot in life is to be second banana yet, so he tends to puff up, arch his back, and hiss at her in a really cute show of rage and SEE WHAT A BIG CAT I AM?!

--I realized last night, after cooing "You're such a sterotypical boy!" at Sora that it's not that he's a such a boy, it's that he's so shounen. All he wants to do is FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT the feather-thing, when he's beaten up (or falls off the bed) he bounds right back up with I'M NOT HURT AT ALL WATCH ME LEVEL UP!, and when he gets tired, he snuggles up on my boobs for about 3 seconds, then leaps up to fight again.

--Had a dream last night that I was driving along a highway and came upon an accident. I got out of my car, found the driver of one of the cars lying on the ground, asked if he was hurt, then told him I was going to sit there and hold his head steady until the paramedics got there in case he'd injured his neck. And then Sora pounced on me and woke me up. Guess I've been reading too many EMT blogs. :)

I actually took Yaz in three month cycles for a while. I theoretically had 4 periods a year but it rarely actually happened which was even better in my eyes. Sadly, going on Yaz corresponded with my spike in migraines and was replaced by an even lower estrogen pill but I had to go off BC all together when my blood pressure increased.

Huh, interesting. Hopefully I have the opposite result than you!

Hopefully! Triggers vary so much that you could well be in the clear. I did get some migraine relief going from the Yaz to Loestrin24FE, but since I've been off altogether I'm back to migraines being a rarity which is good.
