Question:

Sarah,      I don’t know why you are going through this. But I skipped my monthly 2 months in a row and finally got it on time today. I also get mine on the same day, same hour, you can bet on it. So when I skipped it you can only imagine what I was thinking. I went to get a checkup with my doc and he said it was all stress related. Maybe there is a connection there for you. Hope you feel better soon. JoLynn

LADIES: I have always had very regular, set your watch by it, menstrual cycles. Now I don’t.  Sometimes I’m late, sometimes I’m early.  Lately its been every 21 days. YUK!!!!  Between PMS, MS, and ovulation, I don’t get my one good week out of the month.  Have had reg. gyn workups.  Nothing there.  Is this part of RA? Do not tell me I am menopausal.  I am too young for hot flashes. (although, the end of the monthlies is appealing).
