Oh my goodness, some of these stories
So maybe I'm not as hideously bad as I thought compared to some, on the scale....further down towards pretty bad lol
It panics me as when it is really fast and sudden I can kind of imagine it not stopping and my body draining of blood - like haemorraghing. My husband has been logical with me and explained that in ml I lose about 0.32 of a pint each period - when you give blood they quite happily take a pint and people are ok. So, I'm losing a full pint in 3 months - to try and kind of give me some perspective on it. I get that, it does help and calms me a bit - but its the thought that I might just gush and not stop that really freaks me.
Trouble is if blood were green it would still freak phobic people, as we'd be used to green being the danger colour lol
