When I was a teenager, my mother would tell me to keep off the kitchen and the puja room during my menstruation. I used to resent this very much, as my mind always rebelled against any differential treatment of girls. My mother would say that this was meant for giving rest to the body. When you rest, the body is able to repair and regulate itself better and employ all the available energy to eliminate the waste. Every one knows the bleeding is maximum at night for the same reason. I have thought about it and tried to correlate with my personal experience.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a disorder characterized by laboratory and/or clinical findings of higher levels of androgens (male sex hormones), difficulty with ovulating and menstrual irregularity, and polycystic appearance to ovaries on ultrasound. Its prevalence is nearly 10 percent among reproductive-age women and may represent the largest underappreciated segment of the female population at risk for cardiovascular disease.

To give you a sense of what I am talking about, consider the 15-year-old who had suffered from progressive emotional disturbances ever since her periods began three years before coming to see me. About one week prior to each period, her anxiety levels would rise dramatically and she would become irritable, volatile and have great difficulty sleeping. On the first day of her period, relief would come and she would be back to normal, fearing the next go-round 21 days later.

PORTRAIT of me, 2005: New Yorker, writer, age 31. I had a new boyfriend, an agent excited about my novel and a new college teaching job. I was finally approaching happiness, even if I had taken the scenic route. I should have been running victory laps.
Here’s what happened instead: I got sick.
At first, my symptoms were nebulous, mild, easy explainable. I had recently gone off the pill after several years, so I wasn’t concerned about not yet getting my period. Hot flashes — soaring waves of heat so strong I put my cheek against germ-ridden subway poles to cool off — could also be a result of hormonal changes. I was just adjusting, I told myself.

Ask any woman with fibromyalgia about her disease, and she’ll probably tell you this: The disease —and the pain — is real. People who have fibromyalgia may look fine. Their medical test results may be normal. But they are suffering from serious pain.
Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain disorder that affects between three million and six million Americans, and more than eight out of 10 are women. The American College of Rheumatology classifies the disease as chronic widespread musculoskeletal pain for three or more months and tenderness at 11 or more of 18 designated “tender points.”

Comment from Leslie
All of the Gardasil girls are struggling with menstrual issues due to endocrine system imbalance from heavy metals and other toxins in the vaccine that have damaged the brain.
Is Merck aware of this?
Are they now in the fertility business and producing ovulation stimulating drugs for infertility? Does anyone see the sad, sad, irony here? Is MErck creating another market out of thin air?
BTW take a look at the side effects from these treatments…

Every woman goes through this at one time or another to the first period. It may be interesting, it may be scary, it may be reassuring every woman feels differently when it occurs first. However, you may be feeling, and the onset of menstruation is a sign of the real that you may have moved from adolescence into womanhood. It may not seem like you’re any older, but your body is actually ready to have a baby of their own. This can be scary, but it is through knowledge, and prepared, you can place you have any concerns about menstruation and femininity of the rest.
