    I meant that the medical profession would have taken it more seriously sooner. I am afraid that menstruation, like the menopause, is not of much interest to a lot of medical men.
    but what about medical women?
    Research needs funding .., while most funds are still controlled by males it doesn’t really matter whether the medical women are up to it or not 🙄

    surely if enough " medical women " got together and " sorted out " period problems, they'd become multi millionaires?

    Menopause. It's worth a few wrinkles.

    I think an analysis of the twists and turns of this thread over the years would be a fascinating study.

    It never ceases to amaze me either B3 and I'm a new girl, well newish. Never a dull moment despite the title.

    Can't really agree with the suggestion that 'if men suffered women's problems, those problems would have been solved' - 'me Lud' I present to you the case of 'breast cancer', the onslaught to tackle this type of cancer has been phenomenal. Now it's time to do the same for prostrate cancer. 

    My 78 year old OH had a blood test at a hospital last week, the nurse taking his blood had to ask him if he was pregnant.... she say's they now have to ask everyone if they could be pregnant. We've now gone past the point of finding such diktacs amusing.

    I agree with you there Jenny_Aster. My husband died because of it, not with it. Poor care came into it too but I won't go down that path. Men's diseases need eradicating just as importantly as womens do.

    Coir or Coco substrate is driving me nuts. Trying to find what's a good deal is so confusing and I'm sure a lot of 'A**zon' sellers are taking advantage of the confusion.

    I understand 5kg of compressed coconut fibre coir blocks are able to swell in water to create 70L. I've just bought 10L of dry but not compressed coir, how on earth do I compare like with like?
