068 - Chronic health and the menstrual cycle

On today’s episode I’m talking about chronic health and the menstrual cycle, and how the two affect each other. 

One of the things I learned very early in my illness is how much having a period exhausts my body.  

Since my operation, I can no longer control how often these symptoms are coming.  I can no longer control how exhausted I feel and how the simplest things that could seem difficult enough with my illness, for a few days become near-impossible.  

So I thought I’d share a little more info about the menstrual cycle, and what you can do to still feel somewhat in control of your body.
