Question/Comment:

I am 38 years young with Cardiomyophy, Congential Heart Failure, I have had 11 strokes and 2 Heart attacks, 2 Brain Anursiums and Lupus. I have been on disability since Mothers Day 2003 when I had my first stroke. I am always in pain and MY periods last anywhere from 7 to 10 days. And they are severly heavy. I have to use Super Tampons, Super Over Night pads (even in the day) and adult diapers. I change almost every 20 to 40 minutes. I can't go out because I am going to bleed right through to my clothes. Can anyone recommend anything to help with the Flow or Cramping? I really would like another child one day that is the only reason that I havent had a historectomy. PLEASE ANYONE???.............................. Evidence

Not to forget to mention I am on Coumadin (a blood thinner because they found a blood clot in my lungs once about 2004) and I can't dtop taking it or I could die. Please any sugestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.......................... God Bless Evidence.

Answer/Reply:

ooh yeah that is all three at the same time (tampons, pads & Adult diapers) and I am enemic my blood level from my last labs a week ago was a 7. If it goes down anymore they will admit me to the hospital again and I hate that place. Getting poked every half an hour is not a great feeling. But it is neccessary to keep me alive. Ladies do as your doctors says (that is the reason they went to medical School for 8 years) So if anyone has any encourgement for me I thank you now in advance................................. Good Luck and God Bless................ Evidence

I bleed for the whole month of May with severe cramping and heavy bleeding. I found out that I had fibroids. You might want to get that checked.

Question/Comment:

has anyone else been diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome? did your doctor suggest metformin as a treatment option? if so, i would like to know how this is going. at one point in time, a doctor that i no longer go to wanted to treat my ovarian cysts with metformin but i wasn't comfortable with the idea. however, now i am taking metformin to treat my diabetes (gotta love life's little ironies, right?) and was just curious as to what other women may have experienced.

Answer/Reply:

ask about the nuvaring. it's got hormones in it so it can help regulate your periods but it's a low dose so it's less likely to cause problems. plus you only have to think about two times a month (once to put it in, once to take it out, lol)
