Is there any combination worse than allergies + period?

[conuly]

Because I don't see it. Leaking here, leaking there, I am leaking everywhere!

Not worse, just the same kind of shitty: Menopausal and post-menopausal incontinence (even mild, even controlled with meds). No more leaking from downstairs, just uncontrollable bursts of fluid when sneezing. Joy (not!).

[conuly]

Oh, dear. I hope you mean pee and not literally shitty. If I'm wrong, you "win"

[kulturschnepfe]

Pee. Definitley pee. That's bad enough, and I really don't want to win. It's just life being obnoxious. There I was, happy that my period had finally stopped, and then incontinence started. *sigh*

[cynthia1960]

Yeah, I'm with you on this one. Manage to stop shopping on that particular grocery aisle (the one with baby food on one end and menstrual products on the other end) but now have to move one aisle over for the incontinence stuff. And the products are even bigger and bulkier. Faugh.

I'm not the stone you can't squeeze blood from.

Little known fact that Churchill's original draft was Blood, snot and tears, but his speech writers convinced him to change it.

Spoilsports.

Allergies, period + stomach flu. Everything everywhere all at once! (even the allergies + period is bad enough though, auugh.)

[conuly]

I hope that's not you right now!

[melannen]

No, but it happened several times, and the memory lingers! I hope yours does not linger much longer.

[cynthia1960]

Ew. Virtual hugs and absorbing materials offered.

[pauamma]

No experience with that specific combo, so can't compare it to my own experience even if I felt so inclined. Sympathy.

Oh, *that’s* why Dejima is the refugee ghetto in Ghost In the Shell: Stand Alone Complex!

[chez_jae]

Ew

:D

[adafrog]

Ugh.

I once had a fierce stomach bug that involved vomiting and, er, exports out the other end, sometimes wanting to happen simultaneously, in a bathroom where the toilet was not right next to the sink.

Eh, I probably needed to wash that wastebasket anyway...
