I think you are absolutely right about having a trainer here.
My experience went from complete hell once a month to tolerable to trackable in the one year I have started proper training.
I try to be completely open with my UA trainer and that works really great.
Now I’m in the phase of figuring out what type of training + food combined with the phase of cycle works for me. It’s really learning about yourself as I understand from you guys. The better you know yourself, the easier it is to deal with it.
I have to say, this is harder on people like me who are organisationally impaired 😉
