Trill I think you're on to something with the cycles...I'm still not sure if i'm fertile or what, things have been crazy on that front. Acupuncture is a great idea...might look into that once I've had surgery and more scans show no signs of anything brewing (don't want to accidently stimulate the wrong processes in my bod). I was especially demoralised after my kg gain - I am having a massive summer-clothing crisis (like every year) made worse because I'm desperate to do something before my surg because of the long recovery time. Summer lasts a looooong time here but they always bring out the autumn clothes early. Most of the clothes are either Urgh (horrid horrid colours, horizontal stripes, transparent so you have to wear 2 layers, flimsy fabric that's gonna wash to ****) OR they are cut so that my scars/horrid surgery bras are all gonna hang out the top .
