      The reason your breathless huni is because you are losing blood it's important to eat fruits and veg so it can replace your vitamins and minerals and ano huni we do go throught horrible things but it's makes us woman stronger lol x

Hope u feel better soon x

      Hi Rachel. I know how you feel. It really sucks. Everything is so much worse and it's really hard to deal with it. Sometimes it feels like I turn into a different person. The opposite of me. It's actually scary... Do you take any medication for it? xx

      I know! How awful! I take some herbal pills, but I think when I'm on my worst, they're just not strong enough to help me. I'm afraid to be around people as I feel so much anger and can lose my patience so easily and just hate everything... What kind of therapy? xx

    I think so but then I'm 31 and mine are not like they used to be, all so much harder and bloody complicated, I think the older you get the worse they get, or in my case anyway, I have random symptoms every time now, nothing simple like I used to a dull back ache and achy boobs lol... Everything seems to bloody hurt and fatigue, dizziness, stomach pains the list goes on, just see how you go.

      Hi. I know what you mean. I think you're right that it gets worse when you're older and also about the random symptoms. I'm 33 and I thought I've seen and experienced it all, but it just keeps on changing and adding new things. Like it wasn't enough to start with! How do you deal with it?
