Ms Period Meet Mr ME

Ever since I contracted CFS/ME/SEID my period has been wonky.  There has been quite a bit of debate among my doctors as to whether it is CFS or menopause.  The cause doesn't really matter to me but the effects have been weird and occasionally disturbing.  Basically I fluctuate between three states at random intervals: no period at all, spotting and deluge.  I've gone as long as six month with no period and also had one very heavy period for six weeks where I had to be put on prescription progesterone since I was becoming anemic from all the blood loss.  Yuck!

Well, science has caught up with reality
