But I actually want to go and see what the eye doc says.
The irony is that i wear fake glasses on cam everyday, just frames with clear lenses. Imagine actually needing a prescription smh.
Haha, well...an eye exam would be a good first step. I've had glasses since jr year HS. I just remember squinting so hard sitting in the back of the room. I didn't have any headaches, but usually squinting can produce headaches.
Let BF take you. It would be a good thing to rule out the possibility. Curious, how much water do you drink a day? And also, where is the headache located? Sometimes a lot of stress can cause a tension headache.

I have no idea. We blow through so much water in this house but i still feel like it's not enough. I most definitely could drink more. But the pain is right behind my eyes.
I can feel a little heartbeat 1) right at my temple, both sides 2) and at the point where my nose and eye meet 3) under my eyebrow. I'm about to take some Tylenol pm and knock myself out.

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
^^Well, the amount we need to drink PERIOD, without any exercise is half our body weight in ounces a day. I'm 140 so I drink 80 oz period. I'm behind right now. I need to drink 30 more ounces. But, yeah, it's a shit ton of water.
You know Nita, it sounds like a tension headache. Ruling out vision problems could be good. And de-stressing could help. You're already doing a good thing by reducing the amount of light you're exposed to, so yeah...right on.
You been extra stressed lately?

Money is a big stressor, I have to watch my response to bills because I've been known to fall into a suicidal depression when I'm having money troubles. I've been really good at recognizing my triggers and managing any reactive emotions though. So, at worst, I'll get lethargic and quiet - a far cry better than my reaction to shit in the past. But still not the space I want to be in. Balancing my schedule around three kids has me constantly feeling like I'm dropping the ball also.
So money and the way my long shifts are clashing with the kids homework - just for me to still not be making money - has my energy all types of fucked up. That nap helped immensely but it's basically bedtime now so I'm just gonna crawl off the couch and get some real sleep.

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
^^Sounds like the headaches might be from stress. It sounds like mentally you have them under control but it's manifesting physically. But I wouldn't rule out the eye exam just yet. Your stress is what I'm experiencing currently: financial. I feel you.

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
After foolishly lifting groceries twice this week, I now have a bad backache.
I could feel it coming on yesterday, when my neck and lower back started aching.
At first I thought it was because of the impending rain that's coming. But, that never happened.
My entire right side of my back and right arm is numb too. Right down to my fingers.
Nerve damage from scoliosis, degenerative disc, and arthritis is the cause.
As much as I bitch about the heat. It's the cooler temps that cause my body to ache.
Not looking forward to Winter. I can already tell it's going to be colder than usual.:'(

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
I took last night off because of my period. My flow and cramps were too heavy to push through it. It feels like it sucks the life force right out of me.
I am going to go to the health food store to find supplements to alleviate PMS symptoms. Anyone have recommendations of what they take to help work through shark week?

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
^^I've only experienced cramps on my period once in my adult life & it legit felt like contractions. I took Tylenol extra strength, but it'd be interesting to hear what other ladies use.
I'm sorry I'm no help.

I take progesterone in an olive oil base.. even take it on my period.. I think heavy periods and cramps are caused by high estrogen.. go to a website called Health Natura, or Forefront Health.. you rub a few drops on your gums.. I rarely get cramps anymore when I take it, or heavy periods.

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club

Thank you for this. I will look into it.
I switched my multi-vitamin in the last month which I believe may caused the heavier period. I love the one that I am taking currently because I have noticed a huge improvement in my energy levels, mental focus and ability to stay calm during stressful times. Unfortunately there is no potassium in the current multi-vitamin and there isn't the other herbs such as black kohosh, etc.
The sales woman at the health foods store set me up with the supplement "Female Comfort" from Nature's Sunshine. I am hoping this will help.
I managed to work my shift last night, after taking a nap, taking ibuprofen and using a heating pad.
Thankfully last night one of my regulars was understanding when I told him that I couldn't do his type of show. He hung out and chatted for a bit and then tipped gold in free chat. I modeled the boots he bought for me. He eventually came back because he couldn't sleep :) He took me to exclusive block.
The rest of the night was fetish and femdom shows.

Hope you get to feeling better soon!
It's awesome you filmed that! It's making the most of out the situation. I always tell myself that when allergy season hits I will film those types of clips- but I forget.

Ugh, still so sick but logged into SM long enough to get daily payout!

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
^^I'm exclusive with SM. I remember being sick back in Dec 18 and blowing my nose and sneezing a lot. The guys on cam were like "are you ok?" I was like "yeah, just a cold" and I still made sales. Good for you for powering through. You'll make it. Sending healing vibes.

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
My anxiety is really bad right now. I'm trying to cam through it. I meditated, but I still feel horrible. Does anyone have any advice for me? I know I'm usually the one to give self care advice, but I'm struggling.

Are you feeling anxiety over a certain issue or is it just a generalized anxiety (in your body and headspace)?

I'm sorry you feel that way. Magnesium. I always take one when my anxiety is high. Other than that, breathing. Decatastrophizing whatever might give you anxiety right now could help too. Other than that I don't know but I'm sending you a hug.

It's definitely over income. I'm stressed out that I won't make enough to live which is a fear I have often. I try not to think about that as I know with LOA you can manifest that. But it's definitely over finances. It's really slow for me right now on cam and I'm worried I won't get enough shows to support myself.

Re: The 'Sick Girls' Camming Club
^^^ I'm just going to throw in some things that help me when I am struggling with anxiety.
When the anxiety is over a certain issue I will give myself a set worry time- just to worry- I know it sounds corny. Then I will focus on solutions- is there anything I can do about the situation? Is it in my control or is out of my hands? If I can do something then I will brainstorm a list of things that I can take action on it. Then create a plan and do it.
If it is generalized where I feel it in my body/headspace - I remind myself to focus on one thing at a time. ( I get overstimulated really easy)
Taking some deep breaths-is helpful.
If you have an icepack grab put in your hands for a couple of minutes- it will give your brain a wake up to get back to the present moment.
Do you take a multi-vitamin? or any other supplements?
