IbuActin - Sweet Sleep and Pain Free (Month 2, Day 46)

This will be my third day taking IbuActin.  I gotta tell ya...I LOVE THIS STUFF!  If I take it right before bed (after my INH pill) I sleep through the night so well, wake up rested and my hands are mostly pain-free! My little pinkies are still crampy/achey, but I'm pretty happy with the results.  'Course, I don't want to be taking this for the entire time I'm on INH.  Sigh...I probably wouldn't mind except it costs like 20 bucks a bottle.

The Cycle: For Ladies Only
This month was pretty horrible for me on my cycle.  For my diet being as clean as it is, my breasts were incredibly sore, and I had some of the worst cramps I've had in years. I actually went home 3 hours early the other day because I couldn't sit down...could only pace and was incredibly nauseous from the pain. I did take some Ibruprofin, about 400 mg (2 200's) and it helped some.  I put a super duper hot heating pad on my belly and veged in front of the TV.   Later that night I took IbuActin and the next day felt back to 100%.  I think that it must have only men publishing the symptoms list for INH because I bet I'm not the only one realizing that menstruation and INH don't really mix!

The histamine diet - still on it.

Today:
B-Manna bread with cashew butter. 32 oz water. 2 IbuActin

Shave and an INH, white pill
2 IbuActin

Month 1, Day 16

Very tired today.  This could be caused by my cycle (sorry guys) or something else.  But man, I am TIRED! Didn't want to get up today - draggin' my arse around.  Would gladly have stayed in bed for another 3 hours.  Yes, the time just changed, but even before that I was experiencing this.
Could be any number of things...

Now, for ladies only.  About menstruation...

I usually find that with a relatively healthy diet, non-stressful month, my cycles are fairly easy - last about 7 days, heavy, but no real emotional havoc done.  This month was about the same, but I haven't taken anything for the cramps (acetamenophyn aversion), and fatigue city!  Not complete yet, so I'm not sure about length.  I'm assuming it will be about the same as well.
