walk, does not 23 days a month sound a little excessive to you?? Think about it. You should have already had that seen about. How old are you anyway. BYW, 40 has nothing to do with excessive bleeding like you are having. Gone through menopause myself and breeze so your hemoglobin is probably WAY down.

My mother-in-law is always telling me I'm anemic
because I like to chew ice. I don't crave ice, mind you, but I do like to chomp on it. I don't know why. It's something that I've done since I was a kid. In fact, I went to a high school reunion once, and everyone at my table started to laugh when I began to chew my ice. Apparently, it was something I was remembered for, and I had no idea!
Regarding anemia: Well, I've never been anemic, and so I always crow that to my mother-in-law when she starts up on her anemia rant.
These days I don't chew ice anymore (except to irritate my MIL), because my son's orthodontist talked to me about the damage it does to tooth enamel over time -- causing cracks and splits.
But, I've heard the anemia accusation so many times, that I guess it would be worth checking
I started craving ice and soon after learned I was anemic.
