OP-I think this IS part of the earthquake! I'm 54 she's 52. She's been going through it for the last 3 years it seems. Bleeds like someone has stabbed her. I've never really known for 30 years when her period was by her attitude, but now-she'll get tired and she and I call it Itchy, but for 10 days of the month you just do NOT want to be around.
This is another issue my kids have tried to talk to her about. One of my D's MIL is a nurse and has gone through it and tried to encourage her to see the female doc, along with my D. She would not talk to them for weeks. The Doc himself 2 years ago suggested she try hormonal therapy and she commented she would never see him again cuz he thought she was crazy. That's part of what I'm dealing with.
Thanks for asking as I meant to add that to the 8 page novel but forgot.
