Guest guest Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Not those two things but I've always felt that my severe PMS had to do with my mom issues. The way my mother handled her periods with me (showing me her underwear when her tampon leaked) and my period (tracking my periods, along with hers, on a calander in the kitchen... " look lynn we have to track both of our periods together), always, incessantly talking about her period, getting excited by the fact that my periods stopped for a year when I was 16 because I was anorexic, acting dissapointed in my lack of " control " when my periods started up again after my weight went up to 115 (at 5'7'')... Sorry. Maybe this was TMI but the post hit a nerve... Who has endometriosis or fibroids? I have a theory that women with " mommy issues " tend to have problems with their periods. I have endometriosis. Anyone else? -Deanna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 And I had endometriosis for years, had it " cleaned up " twice and finally had a hysterectomy when I was 34.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Fibriods big time. Bleeding and hemorraging at least half the month. Led to a hysterectomy 10 years ago. Can't say I miss the uterus! The big joke was that my nada offered to come from out of town to help take care of me during the recovery phase. I said thanks, but no thanks, It would have been a month of me looking after her! > > > > I have a theory that women with " mommy issues " tend to have problems > > with their periods.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 I have endometriosis, diagnosed through surgery when I was 16. For years my mom told me I was just being dramatic about the pain. It wasn't until I passed out and was found on the floor of the bathroom at school that she had to take it seriously. I've been on continuous birth control pills ever since (I don't take a break for a period except for once a year) and that helps...except for the once a year I get a period! I also have PCOS, so the birth control pills help control the hormone issues from that as well. > > I have a theory that women with " mommy issues " tend to have problems > with their periods.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 I've not been diagnosed with a reason for bad periods. But, I tend to have horrible, heavy periods. That is until I tried something I read in a book. Sorry, don't remember the book. But, it works! The book was talking about women and poor health in this country. In other contries where they eat more vegetables, fish, fruit etc, they have easier menses and some never have menopause symptoms at all. Basically, it recommended 3 Tablespoons Cod Liver Oil every day of your period to cut the bleeding in 1/2. I also decided to take a capsule or two daily...that seems to help me in needing to take less on the days when my period starts. > > > > > > I have a theory that women with " mommy issues " tend to have problems > > > with their periods.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 yes, great theory. my nada loved to talk about the pain of her periods too, but I didn't let her know when mine started and I just remembered what I learned in 5th grade and took care of it myself. I don't have fibroids or endometriosis but I actually had Pre Menstral Dysphoric Disorder - I would become suicidal for 2 weeks before my period. I got an IUD 2 years ago called Mirena. If you have problems and can get this IUD please do. It hurts like hell to put in (really really hurts), but it has been wonderful. I have no periods and no PMS and few suicidal thoughts. > This is interesting and I will keep that in mind when the " change " come > upon me. > > > > Re: Who has endometriosis or fibroids? > > > I've not been diagnosed with a reason for bad periods. > But, I tend to have horrible, heavy periods.
