My period came this morning, but I was feeling almost no pain and the flow was very light. I was thinking It must have been because there had been enough strong earthquake activity in the world over the past 2 weeks and there was some more significant activity out there this morning. This has happened, but it is not always the case. An abundant amount of earthquakes - whether it be after a number of smaller earthquakes in the area or a number of strong earthquakes elsewhere in the world - is not going to stop a painful endo flare-up from happening, not after I have not prepared well before my period was due. I had alcohol 5 nights in a row leading up to today. I was overall ill-prepared, didn't monitor everything I ate over the past week, and I thought I would get away with it. It caught up with me this evening. I don't have ordinary bad periods. I have a condition. I have to be more proactive about it. These flare-ups can be extremely disruptive. If I want to really hone my sensitivity to earthquake energy from around the world, I need to avoid doing anything that is going to make me sick where it would interfere with that. I was feeling so far, so good earlier today. Then by 5 p.m., I was suddenly extremely tired. Then the pain started to set in and worsen by 6 to 7. I felt like I had needles in me down there. It hurt just to use the bathroom. I struggled to urinate without it hurting. I may have deep infiltrating endometriosis. I feel sore and it hurts to cough. I feel like I have been beaten with a bat. I took a soothing epsom salt bath when the pain started to subside a little. It helped. I am still extremely tender and sensitive right now. I felt that way after an earthquake, but this was not in a good way. I did read somewhere that extreme fatigue is a warning sign of an endo flare-up. I'm not a hypochondriac by any means, but I have also been concerned about my vascular system since moving here. I have been wondering if being relocated here has harmed me in that way. The severe pain deep in my calves waking up in the morning, that day I suddenly got extremely light-headed and nearly passed out, and more visible veins has gotten my attention. Right now, I'm focused on the problem I'm having right now. All I know is that I'm going to sleep very well tonight as exhausted as I am. I simply have not been taking good enough care of my body. I have been drinking more often than before since I moved. I may have been drinking more to cope with this situation. I am not an alcoholic or a binge drinker, but I seriously need to put more days in between and make sure I only have a little on nights I decide to have a drink. I also have to monitor everything I eat and filter foods that are known to trigger endo attacks.
