Comments on: Thinking Differently http://www.livingsexuality.com/2009/09/24/thinking-differently/ Sex & relationship help from Becky Knight, MPH Tue, 07 Sep 2010 14:51:55 -0400 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Cynthia http://www.livingsexuality.com/2009/09/24/thinking-differently/comment-page-1/#comment-4096 Cynthia Thu, 24 Sep 2009 21:38:32 +0000 http://www.livingsexuality.com/?p=1811#comment-4096 Somehow, I survived the first 8 years of having my period, having been given VERY limited information, started when I was eleven, experienced unbelievable pain that I thought was normal because my mother did say it would be uncomfortable, then finally seeing an old family doctor who just medicated me with muscle relaxers each month. I missed three days of school each cycle. I think it was only after my last child was born ten years ago that I really began to be in sync with my body and embrace the ebb and flow not only physically but emotionally, mentally, and creatively. I looked forward that indication each month that my body was working as it should, anticipating the cleansing. Now I'm 45 and I am starting to experience the hiccups in my cycle. Nothing is predictable. I hope to ride this tide and look forward to what lies on the other side.
