BMW - you know that I rarely post here for lack of much to contribute. I'm so sorry to hear that you are being compounded with a multitude of ills - yes, maybe the weather will break and Dolly will go out to sea and you will feel better soon.

As for the "Aunt Flo" thing - I know what you are going through. Until I was 40 yrs old, you could set your watch by my cycle. Then all of a sudden it came unexpected, and never really stopped for about 10 yrs. - it was always there to some degree. It would lighten up for a day or so, then come back like normal. Doc tried all kind of hormone therapy, but I always gained weight and refused to take them. She insisted it was too early for me and put me on low dose BC pill for a couple of years - and it did put an end to the never ending flow. Finally, I decided to just stop taking them and I had one very normal one, and never saw another speck of Aunt Flo again. I don't think it is good to try to force your body to do something it doesn't want to. My body was tired of it and wanted to quit.

You have always been the most helpful, concerned - and first to reply to almost every thread I have read. I mention all of you on here in my prayers for a new form of pain relief to come your way. I'm sure there are many others that do too, but we just don't say it. I never even knew this monster existed until I was diagnosed.

So blessings to you today - there are more people who care about you than you know.
