My cycles were a nightmare from day one. I reacted badly to the changes in hormones with cramps and migraines - every month from age 13 to 50. Week long migraines twice a month for all those years. It got worse as I got older. That's why the doctor went ahead and removed everything. The last nineteen years have been so much better.

I even read about a woman who was allergic to her hormones and nearly died. I think I had a mild form of that.

You were sooooo lucky!
