Happy birthday, Ella! I wish I was going to Disney, too! Amy and I talk about doing Disneyland sometimes, but I actually think it would be more fun to go to Disneyworld and meet up with a GA friend who has my favorite two kids in the world! Maybe in a few years, although if I wait too late, they won't be kids anymore! One is already a tween! :(
The periods, yes, it's something you should see a doctor for, but I've been there not having insurance and letting major problems go untreated, so I understand. I have issues, too, huge clots the entire period and really irregular schedule. I know the doctor will want to put me on birth control, which I feel is stupid, but someone was saying on The Doctors the other day to think of it like a medication for other symptoms and not like a contraceptive - if the doc said he was prescribing medication only, people would hesitate less. That's true for me, so I guess I am coming around to the idea. I know for sure my hormones are out of whack, with way too much estrogen in my body (one sign is a lot of weight gain in the hips and thighs, which I became a pro at a few years ago, packing on about 50 pounds in no time). It would be nice if it could help me with that and maybe help me feel less emotional and crazy. I have plenty of that, too!
