Have a Happy Period!

[Dogmama]

Well, I'm one who really suffered & not just physically. I planned my life around my periods. I had my wedding in the middle of my menstrual cycle to make sure that my evil twin sister would be asleep. Seriously, it was like another person came out & she bore a remarkable resemblence to the Wicked Witch of the West. I menstruated for 45 years, starting at age 9. Next month I will be one year without periods and I am rejoicing.

If you were a coworker or casual acquaintance,you did not know because I was good at keeping my feelings under wraps. Perhaps the most frustrating thing was trying to get medical help. Male doctors' eyes just glazed over & I could see them thinking, "Hysterical Female."

So, yeah, I laughed my butt off.

Itself - you're spot on. I worked at a well known heart center for 11 years. The director would lament that although heart disease was the #1 killer, cancer got more funding - both public and private.

As far as E.D. - I agree. If I see another grey haired man with his trophy bride who can't...you know. I want to scream, "Get over it! You married an old man! You traded money for sex!"

But, I no longer scream at the TV because I don't have periods.
