Hi,
I thought maybe it is time for us all to share our embarrassing complaints, mostly to know that we often actually all suffer from the same. It can be fibro-related or not, more or less embarrassing/serious, but let me start off with my list;
- vaginal flatulence - I don't know why I suffer from this. I've never given birth and haven't had sex in more than a decade. Especially around my periods, I have this really embarrassing problem.
- hemorrhoids/piles - I started suffering as a young teenager, so I have always been careful about what I eat, and always drink lots of water. Every time I feel constipation coming up, I fear it will happen again. When they do, they can be so painful and last 5-10 days.
- serious hair loss - I know this is quite common as women age. It saddens me how the world focuses on its effects on balding men, whereas when a woman goes bald/loses significant amount of hair, it can also be seriously traumatic. Look at any shampoo/fashion commercial, if you don't have a head of full shiny healthy hair, you are not an 'attractive woman'.
- runny and stuffy nose - I always have a runny nose - winter, summer, night or day. When outside my house, I have to go into a bathroom stall to really clean out my nose. Blowing it doesn't seem to clean it all up in there. It feels horrible having to go in there with tissues and dig out all the nastiness, but it really has to happen!
I am sure I have more...but now it is your turn....
