You know when reality can hit you right in the face with something so obvious, but it takes one of those ‘Eureka’ moments to realize it?
Well, that’s been what my life has been like for the past couple of weeks. Oddly enough, I don’t think that I’ve been in any more of a thoughtful mood, but I guess just talking about my issues is enough to bring these moments out.
I’ve had about 3 of these moments, and while I can’t yet talk about one of them, I can discuss the others. So, lately I’ve been noticing a whole bunch of not so nice changes in my body. For one, I have extremely dry skin that seems to be getting worse every day. And, unfortunately, it’s noticeable. So it’s embarrassing to me. Right there on top of my head. So, it looks like I have terrible dandruff.
On top of that, I have absolutely no energy at all, and no sex drive -TMI? Haha my bad, but my moment came when I realized that this seemed to get worse in the past 6 months. Pretty much the exact time that I changed the birth control brand I was on. Coincidence? I think not.
So, I’m going off my birth control again. Hopefully this time goes a little smoother, and I don’t have such crap side effects, although anything will be better than what I’m currently going through. Fingers crossed that this solves all my problems!!! In addition to cleansing my system from the birth control, I’m also going to be starting taking supplements, because I know that I’m not getting everything that I need – Vitamin D? Yes please! I need all the help I can get.
