12 Weeks

I cannot believe it’s been 3 months already. It seems like time is starting to move at a reasonable pace. I think I was 5,6 & 7 weeks for about a year.

My current symptoms -

-Tired, I thought I was getting my energy back, but was really dragging at work all last week.
Speaking of work, I have lost my zeal. I think I only worked overtime by accident last week, and started counting down the minutes till I could go home starting at about 9am
-Still have lots of heart burn
-Frequent bathroom trips –although I think I discovered that some of the time when I wake up I am just thirsty and don’t actually have to pee
- dry mouth, this is something I have failed to mention, but I wake up a few times a night completely dry and dying of thirst.
-cramps, every time I think I don't have them anymore they reappear.
-Ice water still goes down better than plain cold bottled water, and since ice water is not really an option at work I found that adding a line wedge makes it drinkable and I am now drinking between 64 and 80 oz a day like I used to.
-acne is still AWFUL
- I think I have gained about 5lbs which is the very high end of normal at this point, I am really going to work on getting myself motivated to go back to the gym.
- dreams, I have crazy vivid dreams, the ones about food I don't mind so much, but I have a couple of scary/stressful ones each week that I could do without.
- headaches, I’ve started getting these in the afternoon, they aren’t super bad but I hope this doesn’t happen for too long.

There was something else I thought of last week, and I thought I keep thinking of things to add to my weekly update but I forget by the time Saturday rolls around, maybe I should write this stuff down, but of course I didn't. Maybe it will come to me next week.

A new picture. I am going to try and start taking these every two weeks now. I said I was not going to take these withough makeup anymore, but meeting is not till 6 and I am too lazy to put make up on until I have to.
