Hi guys,
Ed - I've tried Neurofen but Feminax is better. It deals with all the stuff like achy thighs and all that.
Went to the doc this afternoon, he seems to think it's fine. Ha ha, it was quite funny actually what he said. I explained it all and then he went...
"Well you know, what with your age, and what with being a girl..."
"Being a what?" I said
"A girl. FEMALE"
Ha ha ha
I thought he was gonna say "Well you know, what with your age, and what with....", I dunno...
"all the medication you're on..." or "this time of year..." or "your size and shape" or whatever!!
But, "being a girl".
Um hello, if I wasn't a girl, would I be having this problem??
Lol
He maybe was having a funny day, coz later I saw this big long wooden thing on his desk and I asked what it was and he said "Oh I use that to beat people with".
Hmm.
Anyway, long story short: he basically said that everything's ok, the fainting thing is prob coz my periods are heavy. He gave me the option of Ponstan but said it was more for pain and less for bleeding, so I'm sticking with Tranexamic acid.
As for all the other things you guys posted in about, I hope you don't think I'm ignoring them, but I think I'll just try and take docs word for it and just see how things go.
I am, after all, "a girl".
Ha ha ha
Anyway, thanks for all your replies!!!! Glad you were embarrased about Ed too carebear! You get kinda connected to people on here, even though you've never actually seen them! It's like your big brother reading it or something! Eek! But nevertheless Ed, thanks for your tips!! And thanks for pulling us out of the middle ages! He he
