No Periods, Less Periods
Period suppression is currently a very hot topic. Will you (or do you already) take prescription meds to stop your period, or to have less periods a year? Why or why not?

Freedom from Flo? Yes, please!

I have rheumatoid arthritis which, if you're unfamiliar with it, is auto-immune connective tissue disease. Rather than attacking infection like a healthy immune system would, mine attacks healthy tissue. RA can be crippling and in some cases it can attack the heart and lungs. The medications have so many side affects that I gained 50 pounds in the first three months and have been unable to regulate my period for two years. I'm so aenemic that I spend the days when I'm on my period too exhausted to get out of bed. The sudden drop in seratonin levels causes me blinding migraines. I have known since I was 11 years old that I didn't want children (I'm 30 now) and my illness is so severe that I couldn't physically handle raising them. Would I take a pill to completely eliminate my period and all that comes with it? Absolutely!
