Migraine Update & Got cloth?

The migraine I had the other day must have been hormonal b/c I started my period yesterday. Makes sense. I started feeling like it was coming back last night but slathered my neck and upper back with tiger balm and dived under the covers and feel fine today. Thank Goddess!

I need to sew more cloth pads so I'm not constantly having to wash them right in the middle of my menses (I mean besides the preliminary rinse). If you've never used cloth, I'd highly recommend it! I don't like to be plugged up, so the keeper or a sponge won't work for me. And I refuse to use chlorine-bleached commercial pads. Once in a while I will use unbleached disposables from the health food store but I find them very unsatisfying, not to mention expensive.

I used to pin plain rags on but I do find using an actual flannel pad is neater. I have plenty of cheerful flannel, so I just need to buy snaps and a gizmo to put the snaps on (hammers always break the snaps and I've read the plier-like gizmo is much better).

Hopefully I'll have more to report about the parasite/colon cleanse soon! Right now I'm still waiting.
