One more laugh to add @Change123. When I got my period I was very calm and called mum into my room and tried to tell her. Well, she let out an almost blood curdling scream "WHAT!" And I decided then and there that my life had come to an end. And then, in a house of 4 women there was nothing practical to offer, no pads or anything. Much to my horror, mum then went next door and told them, returning with this medieval belt,(remember) and a giant pad to attatch to it. That was it for me...I ran and cried and cried until someone found me and said we could just see what happened. I do remember that I got 4 days off school, staying with my favourite aunt living on hot chocolate. See the sweet needs had started straight away. What hope did I have? Sharks sound pretty good to me...more chance of survival..ha lol.😃
So @Former-Member@utopia do you really think this could be normal? it's been a long time since anyone said anything was normal about me! My best friend asks the question "who wants to be normal anyway"My gp sent me for a heap of blood tests but said the pill could be masking the results. She did say she could change it to hrt but when my elder sister tried that she said she felt homicidal.
I'm just so scared that my memories will become, I don't know...more. and that if my hormones are out of whack I won't be able to cope at all.
My psychologist, who I haven't actually seen for a while told me to think about sexuality especially because the only relationchips (sexual that is) have been totally bad that I might need to get in touch with these rapidly out of control hormnes to understand any of the situation. But just the word ' sex ' brings up such horrible thoughts that I am too scared to visit.
So " it" has become a real issue, in case you missed it. Thank you for showing me I am not the only one experiencing these things! BTW has anyone come across any research? And everyone is right, maybe more women need to be involved to look at the links between menopause and MI! Afterall we're the only ones who can have both!!!
