Hi Dayna, I have had the same problem for 4 years now just trying to figure out what triggers my bad days. I will say that it seems some months right before I start my period that I tend to have bad days but then some months not. Because I am older I sometimes wonder if I am going through premenopausal problems. It is so hard to try and plan activites anymore and wonder if it will be a good day and can I pull this off or not. I think it is a good idea that you are doing a journal. I think maybe I should start one as well. I don't know how you young mommies do it. I admire you all. I was lucky enough to not get this dang stuff until I was 40. Its just like someone turns a light switch and life changes in a heart beat. You are ALL an inspiration to me. Some of you are going back to school, raising young children, moderating this great site and supporting and staying as positive as you are. Thanks so much Patty
