WHYYYYYY
Okay so I've gotten my period 3 times since I was diagnosed. The first time was immediately after being diagnosed, as in the day after. I was pretty miserable at the time so the pain kinda blended in with everything else.
The second time I was late by almost 2 weeks and I didn't think it would happen at all because my body had gone through so much trauma. I didn't think menstruation was at the top of my body's to-do list but yeah it happened eventually anyway. I didn't notice anything particularly different.
This time... I started last night a couple hours before bed. I'm about to go to sleep when suddenly I'm hit with an intense feeling of hunger. It felt like I hadn't eaten in days, like I was starving. I go downstairs and get one of those little babybel cheeses thinking that should be enough to make my stomach stfu. Normally it would. This time it didn't make a dent. I had to make a whole thing of baby carrots and peanut butter before my stomach settled enough.
So I finally fall asleep.. but I keep waking up in the night either from cramps or hunger pangs. Finally I get up after about 5 hours of broken sleep because I'm so hungry I can't stand it. I made the most filling breakfast I could think of, which was a huge bowl of oatmeal with eggs. I ate every bit of it and I was fine. Full, satisfied.
That was less than an hour ago.
I'm starving again. =/
I'm also in a lot of pain, which is unusual because cramps (though painful) were never so severe that I could hardly walk straight. This time.. they're pretty severe. It's like I'm kinda light-headed but only when I'm walking. It's because my body is still changing..? I guess? But one thing's for sure, I feel SUUUUPER SHITTY right now. Like omgshitty. This sucks.
I'm wondering why I'm so hungry this time around. My numbers have been good so it's not that. Right now I dunno what to do because I'm hungry enough to eat a full meal but I just ate one less than an hour ago! Being hungry might be part of the light-headed feeling, idk.
I gotta get something to eat.. T_T
