Ooph, babe, I feel your pain. My period has always been crazy..been on bc since I was thirteen just to not have four week long periods (then two weeks off, then three to four more weeks on...). I'm also severely anemic, to the point where my hair falls out in the shower so bad it clogs the drain in two sessions...good thing I have INSANE amounts of hair. I actually got off birth control when my ex and I broke up, because my gyno dropped me from not having been in for a yearly (no insurance). It's taken three months, but my periods are finally getting 'normal', at least more normal for me than they have ever been. I just took the pill, though. (on that note...never take Estrostep. It's not very strong and you'll have breakthrough bleeding CONSTANTLY, and your cramps will make it feel as though your ovaries are trying to eat their way out of your body
( ... )
ugh. four weeks long would make me want to kill myself. mine WERE about 10 days long, which was just nonsense. i was anemic, too, but not to the point that i was losing clumps of hair! that's really miserable. and thanks for the advice - i'll steer away from the estrostep. the name is lamerz anyway.

granny's cool. i just talked to her earlier because she wanted to know if my brother and i were warm. she said, "do you have the heat on?" no. it's 17 degrees outside, and we're just sitting here with the windows open like rebels. she's soooo crazy.
i talked to my cooperating teacher today and he was practically begging me to come back and take a job there. when he emailed me this morning, he was like "i have no one to talk to." awwwwwww @ old men. i gotta say, i do sorta miss it a little bit, and might give it a go for a little while. it WOULD be good experience.
emily, this may be presumptuous, but have you ever had your thyroid checked? my om has a thyroid that is out of control, has become anemic and has hair falling out, too. if you can go to the doctor and tell them all of the problems you are having (try to write everything down over the course of a month) and have him do a battery of tests. not to scare, it really could be that your hormones are out of wack and can be greatly improved with medication or sometimes even spefic foods...also, check out dr weil's books, the address lots of problems like that with suggestions that are easy (food, vitamins) and then when to worry...
i love your cartoony bananarchy. so cute. i mean tough.
Thanks for the concern and help. I know that I need to have my thyroid checked, because my mom has thyroid issues, and so I probably do too, but I have don't any insurance! I'm so sickly, there are so many reasons I need insurance, but I just can't afford it, and my job doesn't offer it. It stinks.

hahaha, that made me laugh kind of loud at work, when I'm supposed to be working and not checking my livejournal. I blame granny!
