It's been a crap month for me too. Head injury 2 weeks ago to again bonk my head last night!
Why has it been such an emotional month for you...the fatigue? Of course the highs and lows emotionally play alot into that.
In what way are you working towards feeling better? I think you're to be applauded for that!
I know and realize you want your grandkids to know you...very important. I was prevented from having any children and due to family issues my brother has cut me off from anyone in the family including his now-grown children. I've tried to make amends but he's not wanting to have anything to do with me. I feel very badly about that but...there's really nothing I can do about it.
Please let us know how you're doing.

Hi K
If you read my blogs here,it goes into more detail,it starts out with Oct 4th being my youngest daughter's birthday.But my mom died on her birthday,6yrs ago.
My oldest daughter's 11th anniversary was on the 10th.On that day,after the wedding,I went back into the church to get my parents,it was picture time.When I walked in,I saw my parents in the
pew,my dad collapsed.He had a heart attack.One of the guest was a dr & at first couldn't find a pulse.
With the paramedics there,my mom told my daughter and I to go on & have the reception,that my dad wouldn't forgive us if we didn't.He had a quadruple bypass done 2 days later.Both my parents are gone now.I just lost my dad the day before Easter this year.So,I think it made me dwell on thoughts of them.
Yesterday was our 31st wedding anniversary.
And thinking back,Oct 5th my mom had and lost a baby girl in 1968.
So I end up in Oct reflecting on the past alot.
Emotions can be a trigger for migraine pain.My pain is chronic,for the past 4yrs,I've never been without head pain.This past year allergies have joined the triggers.
I am trying to make myself take a few minutes in the morning and watch,listen to relaxation videos and at night.I get on the treadmill 4 times a week at least.I have recent weight gain,menopause.Issues with retaining water weight.I am watching what I eat,I drink plenty of water.
I'd like to feel well enough to go back to the fitness center.Take up water aerobics,just swim,consult with a trainer there and get on a good program.
So,it's both mental and physical goals.
