OK, this period can subside back into my normal daily light-flow-and-minimal-cramping ANY TIME NOW. I've been on Aleve since Thursday for cramps, and I'm going through the Tampax Super like a hay fever sufferer goes through Kleenex. Dang it all, if I'm going to cough and feel that sudden "Change The Tampon Five Minutes Ago" notification, and if I'm going to have this much cramping, then by golly I want 21 days off, too! GRRR.

I bet it's stress.

Current Mood: aggravated

"I spent five years trying to solve my problem in conservative ways. Nothing worked for me."

One annoyance about modern medicine: since we have more and more things to try, it takes longer and longer for them all to fail.

"I was bleeding every day for anywhere from two months to a year at a stretch, and twice went into pre-cancerous condition."

Ouch; serious anemia too, probably.

I'm glad your surgery is working for you, and that it went smoothly. Good for you for following your doctor's orders! I've known a lot of people who've gone back to work, sports, etc. too soon and injured/reinjured themselves or made themselves sick. Enjoy the rest while you can! :-)
