Yes, I understand perfectly. My mother struggled with that for years. She was sent home by her Dr once who said if she lost 50 pounds she'd feel better. She was in the emergency with a putrid gall bladder a week later so I perfectly understand trying to get someone to notice more than your weight when your sick. Her weight was a problem but sometimes we fixate on the most obvious thing instead of looking at the other hidden things as well.

I alternate between two brands, but I'm wondering if I should try just not using tampons at all my next period. I'm truly beginning to wonder if I should use them at all. I have such a heavy period that the tampons were so wonderful for not worrying about accidents any more, but I'd rather have that problem than this one.

Thank you for the number. My agoraphobia is at an all time low and it's really starting to have an impact on the quality of my life with this health scare and other problems. I have looked for a Dr who makes housecalls in my area and have a lead, even if I can just get him to stop by once to give me something that'll help me make it to an office visit. I have had Adavan before but don't trust that drug at all.

Oh, I totally forgot to mention before but I have had absolutely no pain during any of these incidences.
