I'm off....

Right quick update as not blogged here for a while.

1. I am off the pill. Whoo. It was giving me chronic 3 day migraines, and mood swings that made everyones life hell. Keeping a lid of the mood swings was hard enough for the sake of Pauls mental health, but I was not willing to put up with the migraines.

Now this leaves us with a bit of a predicament. I was only on the pill for period reasons, so if they fuck up again I am asking for a scan to see how thick the endometrial lining is, to see if I am at risk or not of developing endomentrial cancer. If I am I shall be asking for a high progesterone dose to kick start a shed every few months. This means I don't have to stay on the pill if I can't because of side effects. It may just mean I have to take a break from the pill for 9 months, and then back on it for 9 months, which seems to be the trigger point for most of the side-effects.

In the week I have been off it, my mood has stabilised. Books have deflated (thank Christ) and I'm not wanting to rage kill everyone who annoys me. I'm also no longer starving all the time.

2. I will be starting back on Cambridge diet as of 5th of July. I would start now, but alas I have gnocchi, veal, buffalo, noodles (Wagamama cookbook) and 1 week of placement left. I am going to chow down this week over dinners and get them sorted and out of the way.

3. Placement is going okay, feel a bit less of a complete tool now. The travelling time is a complete bastard though. 4 hours a day I'm racking up. I AM NOT going back to fucking Erskine unless I can drive.

4. On that note I have started driving lessons. Man says I'm a natural. This may be complete bullshit but am hoping to pass test quickly as the rules re driving change in October. Apparently you can't carry a passenger or drive at night. This is from my brother via my mum, so something may have been lost in communication.

5. Thats about it really. Wee odd thing been happening on placement. but nothing to really repost back.
