The new remedy seemed to working fine-ish, but I saw Dr. W on Tuesday and he wanted to try something different. I had an EXTREMELY bad week a couple of weeks ago. DH commented that the last time he saw me so upset was when my brother died. I was crying at the drop of a hat at every little thing. Many stressful things coincided with PMS. Yuck!!
Dr W thinks/thought the remedy should be helping my PMS more so onto a new remedy. He wasn’t sure if he was going to tweak the current remedy or change completely. He opted to change completely. I am now on Cyclamen 30c. We have a back up remedy if this doesn’t work out.
The big news is I have opted to take a stress reduction class to help with my newfound anxiety (well, going on a year now). It is called the Stress Reduction Program and is offered by the Center for Mindfulness at UMASS Medical School. I went to the orientation 2 weeks ago. The orientation was a bit of a bore, but I am looking forward to the class. I think it will be very helpful. It is an 8 week program with one full day class. For the rest of your life, as long as the program is in existence (and it has currently been in existence for 31 years), you can attend the one day class during each session for a tune-up.
It requires a pretty big commitment – it is about 45 minutes away from where I live and you are asked/required to do an hour of work 6 days a week. This week, the first week is a 3 hour class. I barely got any sleep because DH was snoring last night so I think I will need some caffeine in the evening, which is unusual for me.
I expect I will be posting more frequently as I try to keep track of what I am learning and doing in the class.
