I feel for you Jbug I get my periods at the worst moments..like before a 14 hour train trip...also when friends die...(sorry)...when I was a burn victim....when I receive visitors from long distances...when Ive got an important speech....when I'm attending important meetings....etc... its all emotional (I'm 50).....but isn't it horrible when you need medical attention...like laying on a table for a med.exam......blahhhh... ....and before that train trip which had to be repeated 2 days later months had gone by.Unpredictable friends huh?
