Hello, I'm 22 years old and ever since I can remember I've had very irregular menstrual cycles. But for about 9 Months or a year now, my cycle has been lasting 3 weeks to a month. It varies from light to heavy flow to blood clots, every time I see a Doctor they say its normal (everything is normal for Doctors now in days - you can go with a broken foot and they see that to be normal- ) I have become very tired lately, I sleep a lot and wake up tired, not much energy going on here. I don't get the abdominal pain I used to which is ode because there were days I couldn't even get up from the pain, but I guess its one less thing to worry about. I've had a few ode things happen this past year. 1st - headaches, not just regular headaches, the type that keeps your head from staying up on its own. 2nd- Swollen feet, this went on for a couple of months to the point where I had to go to the ER. I spent about 5 hours there and yet again I was told by a "Doctor" that this was normal. 3rd. weird feelings in my body, things like numb arm, foot, lip, not being able to focus, blurry vision even with glasses on, the list goes on. and last but defectively not least and what concerns me the most is becoming anemic by the amount of blood I continue to loose each month.

Please help!!!!
