I realised my health is deterioriating... could it be due to age?
I just had the WORST 'Red Days' ever.
I've ALWAYS LOVED RED DAYS. I'm serious. I like the feeling of losing my 'dirty blood' and knowing that new blood is being created. Though the loss of those 'dirty blood' could indirectly mean babies, I still love having those 7 days once a month. Anyway, the 'factory' has closed down long ago and we have no intention of getting the production line to work again. *wink*
Last Thursday (first day), the flow was so heavy that the 'bread's' absorbency was not even fast enough to soak it in and the 'rose syrup' over-flowed and gave my shorts extra prints 3 times in a day!
The two ends of my 'flying bread' (mine comes with wings *laugh*) is not even red yet!
Can you imagine how fast and heavy the flow was?!
I almost thought I was going to bleed to death!
This has NEVER happened before. My sis was surprised when she came back in the evening and saw me washing my 3 pairs of shorts. 'Cos I hardly even stained my undies.
I was so giddy, tired and weak as the day carried on. I was even weaker the next day. Guess the reproduction of the red blood cells aren't fast enough to bring back the colour of my face.
On Friday, after I brought the kids to school, I'm on my bed. When they are back, I'm still on my bed. I couldn't even finish half my lunch and I'm back to my pillow again. I stayed there till 5pm. Yes, my close friends know that I'm a Sleeping Queen, I can fall asleep anytime of the day and in all sorts of positions.... *laugh* but such rest is not comforting. 'cos at the back of your head, you have the image of waking up in Red Sea.
Tip 1: when you are this weak, get someone else to water your plant or you'll mistook the bleach for water (which was what I did) *faint*
Tip 2: when your mind can't function as well as it should, get your spouse to wake your kids up for school or there is a chance you'd left your alarm in the living room while you are covered under the blankets on your bed. (my kids missed school this morning because I couldn't hear the alarm, which I forgot to bring into the bedroom and overslept)
I couldn't quite recover till today. Feeling the beat under my feet once again. And with so much words written on this post, you know the chatty Angeline is back! *wink*
I hope those 'Red Days' next month will be back to normal....

I hope you feel better soon! I've never had them that bad before. Actually the older I get the less they are.
Take more warm water and rest more, you'll feels better.
I couldn't help but laugh when you tortured your plant again. Hahahaha.
Get well soon. Hope these heavy red days is just a one time thing.
try to consult a physician asap!
This is your first time like that? Better monitor properly girl.
maybe you were also already ill and your body was a bit weak. Have to take more "poh" stuff ya.
We women have to take care all the time especially after we have had kids!
sounds really bad. I agree that maybe it is a good idea to see a doc. take care
My days are worse every month. It seems as we age things get heavier. Doesn't seem fair to me. I'd rather just skip it all together and take a vitamin.
