Dog Sitting ! :(

Today is the beginning of dog sitting, hopefully everything goes well!? My only concern really is Friday, hubby will be leaving to work the track early morning and I will only stop in after work to let the dogs out to pee then I'm off to the track as well and won't be home till midnight. Hopefully my brothers dog (Piper) doesn't destroy the house and all of Jacobs toys!?

I think I have High Estrogen!? ? I read an article in a magazine my Mom gave me and then decided to look into it more and Googled it - I have a lot of the symptoms, such as:


Symptoms of Estrogen Overload
-PMS -- yup
-Migraines -- check
-Mood Swings -- more now then before
-Cramps -- yup
-Uterine Fibroids -- don't know?
-Depression -- yeah, a little but is it just because of the symptom listed below
-Unexplained Weight Gain -- I keep trying to loose it but it ain't going anywhere!?
-Fatigue -- yes
-Osteoporosis -- don't know!?
-Insomnia -- a little, I lay awake even though I am very tired, takes forever to fall asleep
-Allergies -- don't think so
-Memory Loss -- just ask my hubby~!
-Acne -- I feel like I'm going through puberty again!?
-Hot Flashes -- no I don't think so
-Thinning Hair -- Yes! I know you hair falls out after you have a kid but mine is still coming out!?
-Irregular Periods -- Not really irregular but they have changed since having a baby
-Breast Tenderness -- a little
-Miscarriage -- No!
-Low Sex Drive -- just ask the hubby!! ;)
-High Blood Pressure -- I don't think so but haven't had it checked
-Facial Hair Inflammation -- not really sure what this means but I do have an issue with facial hair.

So I look at this list and think holy crap I have a lot of these symptoms but then I look at the list a little more and think that these are all just regular womanly symptoms of what we all go through! ? Maybe it's just part of life and me getting older? I'm all paranoid now that my Dad is sick and my Mom really isn't in the best health condition either. Plus I think I am borderline hypocondriact (sp?) so sometimes I hear things on the radio like "if you experience, frequent urination, gas and bloating you could have ovarian cancer and you need to get checked!" then I think WOW - I do have all those symptoms (along with a gazillion other women out there I bet) and I worry a bit that maybe I have ovarian cancer (especially now since Dad has been diagnosed with cancer). But at least I have the smarts to know that I am crazy and that lots of women feel this way so I probably don't have ovarian cancer (but the thought is still there in the back of my head). Either way, I am making a doctors appointment for the middle of Sept, I'm due for my yearly physical anyway so I will tell my doctor my concerns and hopefully they will send me for blood work to ease my worries!
