I have heard that is indeed one use for the pill. My husbands sisters suffered horribly as young women from painful menses. As a result , he was always so understanding to that particular issue. It spoke volumes to me about his compassion and character.

I suppose there are those men who feel it is a woman’s burden to suffer in pain and silence as though it is a shameful thing. We are blessed though that modern medicine is comprised of men and women who think and research for ways to cure disease and create medicines to alleviate pain. A man on the thread for the Black Plague was cured by antibiotics when he was in Vietnam. It is sad when side effects from these meds result in a death, when the patient was seeking help.

Thank you for your thoughtful post. God Bless your husband:)

I agree, women shouldn’t be ashamed for suffering from menstrual problems. At times my pain would be so bad that I would literally be physically ill & lying on the floor crying. And I’m someone that normally has a high tolerance for pain. It was regrettable that I had to get on the pill but it helped.

I don’t understand why that poster was so incredibly rude & hostile. Maybe he just hates women:)

We are blessed to have the medical options we have today. I agree, one must be really vigilant about the side effects & possible dangers of the medicine we take. That’s fascinating about the man being cured in Vietnam.

Thanks & hope that you & your family have a great week:)
