My blood clot was also caused by being on birth control. So haven't been on it
since and no blood clots (thank God).

Do you have any concerns with circulation and birth control? I'm afraid to
death to get birth control with my paralysis.

I am 49 years old. I didn't start bleeding until 14 months after my injury.
And then it came back. It was awful. My husband had to deal with the mess and
also my caregivers. My OB/GYN decided to put me on Depo-Provera. I get the
shot every three months, and I don't have any periods at all. It has been the
best thing I could have ever done! Ask your doctor about it. It's worked
great for me.

I am 42 years old, and after my accident in December of 2000, I didn't have
my period for seven months or so. Of course, when I would mention this to my
husband back then, he would say let's not talk about it. Maybe it will never
come back. Well, shortly after that it did come back. Now, I wish it would go
away. Couple of things. One is that I have a 33-year-old caregiver, who had
to have a total hysterectomy due to cancer. She is cancer free and we are
always joking about her not having a period anymore and how I wish I didn't.
Also, I never thought my husband would be putting in a tampon for me, much less
showing a caregiver how to do it. I use a tampon during the bowel and shower
program. Thank God we have a good sense of humor. I have to wonder if I'm
looking forward to menopause. As I'm normally cold, and I wonder how the hot
flashes are, besides the lack of bleeding. I guess I'll have to wait and see.
Take care --

Ladies,
I was 17 when I was injured and didn't get my period for 4 months
because your body is in shock-I was told. Then I had normal, for me, periods.
When I turned 40 I started have crying spells and being extremely exasperated,
I found out it was pre menopause. I had it for 10 years!
Also, when I was first injured I would sweat like crazy. Sometimes just
when I was in bed. I would have to sleep with towels all over my bed and my
hair would be soaking wet. Then I went through a long spell when I only sweat
when I was in my chair. I had to have my hair cut short and wear towel around
my neck. I would need to change my top at least once a day.
DATING WAS A CHALLENGE. I also went through college with sweat dripping
on my term paper's. This was before computer's and if they got wet, I would
have to type them all over again. I sweat like this from 1973 till 1988 when I
had ryzodomy surgery. An uncredited side affect from the surgery was I never
sweat again AT ALL.
I hope this helps.
