That’s incredible!

How has that insight left you feeling?

I’ve been using the good old fashioned calendar to loosely track mine for the last 5 years.

It helped me see the emotional link to attacks, and the menstrual patterns playing out alongside - as well as the lunar cycle impact when all 3 were combined with the full moon.

Year on year improvement has been significant, but for the first few years this wouldn’t have been known beyond my own tracking (I was still so severely ill for min. 2.5 weeks for so long. Then unbeknown to anyone else, chronically ill in other ways for the other week and a half….until I wasn’t.).

I had to learn to celebrate my own wins, cheerlead myself on. It makes a big difference. I’m so pleased you’re here, on this journey 💜

Thanks Joanna! I kept it short for the fast pace on other apps, but this is a good reminder that Substack prefers a slower lifestyle 😁 I am so excited about the improvements, too!
