People should be aware of this & take it seriously. Only by that there will be changes in the workplace policies. I hope the women with huge influence are working on it. Also we as women should not quickly invalidate other women who express their sufferings just because we only experience milder cycles.

First day of mens and I feel fatigue along with dysmenorrhea and leg pain. But still have to go to work. Wish there is a work policy for this like a 1st day mens leave or can work from home. Fyi, on days without mens, I can walk 6000 to 10k steps per day but 1st day of mens I feel like I don't have the energy to even walk 1k
@shalalalaaa4126Ай бұрын
I'm the only one who feels exhausted one week after their period? Cause I also feel like that before my period and it makes sense, but I noticed that always, the week after (or after a week) of my period I go through an horrendous fatigue, like, always.

just curious how is adjusting your car seat for you? I find I tend to get upper back pain on long drives trying to hold my arms straight up towards the steering wheel, I'm either leaning my seat forward or overstretching my back - while I see other people reclined back and arms relaxed.. people tell me to just move the seat forward but I have long legs and then they bend and hit the steering wheel... but I suspected I have short arms 😅 not as your short as yours, but I can tell in certain situations, including yoga, something is a bit off. I appreciate someone else pointing that some support is appropriate.
@DrKarinaSmithАй бұрын
Awesome question! My seat headrest is one of those ones that pushes your head forward. I took it out, and turned it around and now the flat part is where my head rests. Solved lots of discomfort issues for me in my shoulders and upper body!

@@DrKarinaSmith yes I get that. My problem is overthinking, as well as damp climate where I live. A lot of fog and rain from autumn to spring. It's so obvious that when I go to dryer climate my body starts to work differently. I definitely need to move away from where I live. I'm using sauna, lymph drainage, dry brushing...

Is it possible to have a very heavy period (lasting more than a month) full of blood clots because of phlegm damnpness?
@DrKarinaSmith3 ай бұрын
possibly. But it sounds like other patterns to me. That is way too much blood to be losing every month. If you have not done so already, I advise you book in for a pelvic exam and ultrasound to see what might be causing the heavy blood loss.

I’m happy to know that I’m not the only lady going through this and all, but how exactly do I get myself back on track? I exercise on a regular basis, eat healthily, drink tons of water, and yet, during ovulation period and most of my menstrual cycle, I’m a complete slug! I barely get work done because of how tired I am and that screws with my due dates (I’m still in school.) Whenever I’m in these routine stupors, I feel so terrible about my situation because of the effects it has on my daily life. I’m in need of some tips!

I had a tooth out years ago. It didnt clot great. Like 95% clotted but the rest didnt, this one area on the corner kept leaking. I kept changing gauze but it didnt help. Still blood in mouth. Even went to er. But left after waiting too long. Anyways, after a night if drooloing blood, in morning when i woke up, it was oozing thick blood. I went to the dentist and she pulled clot out and had me re-bite on new gauze and it finally formed the full clot. Always curious what that thicker blood was that i had for hours
