hi,
i know how aweful it all is too. i have had the heavy heavy clotting &
bleeding, bleeding all over car seats, office chairs etc, because you
never know when to expect that huge gush ... and the period that never
ends.
my gyn put me on prometruim to help with the bleeding and it really
helps!!! there are no side effects, i only take it for the first 10 days
of the month (it is even supposed to help calm pms symptoms )
i also have noticed a weird thing (sorry if you find this gross) but i
find the blood doesnt absorb into the pads very well. i have tried
every kind on the market, even incontinence (sp) pads, but the blood
just almost runs off the pad and soaks my panties up the front & back!!!
hang in there, at least you know you are not alone, and can get support
here anytime. liz

Some people are like that, either have to control others or build themselves up by tearing others down. (Its why I have killfiles.) Lots of positive people out there just waiting to be found. :)

>napkins at a time and change every 1/2 hour and most the time the period lasts for a month or so. Like everyone is saying " gee she needs to go on a diet" wich I am sure some people are saying that. My self asteem is so low I have often thought about calling it quits with everything. I do not know what keeps me going. I was scheduled for a hysterectomy on the 20th of March 2002..but the insurance company denied me :(. They want me to start a Horemone Therepy. I am so tired of taking pills for this and pills for that I could puke. Has anyone else been suggeted to do
>Hormone Therepy ? and if so what exactly is it that they put you on ? I have the facial hair both on my upper lip and chin... and yes it is embarassing. I have gone from using Nair to waxing to shaving every other day. I have tried the premphase,provera and BC pills nothing seems to work. I had a hysteroscopey and D&C done and that did not even help. I am at my wits end and do not know what to do.Any suggestions?????
