[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 223048, member: 1233"] It is fascinating to hear how your culture functions. I think maybe your family gets more attention because you are not a native citizen, but that may just be an impression from earlier posts. I was put on the pill at age 15 for migraines - my dad was SO embarrassed when the pharmacist started giving him all the instructions! I was home sick with a migraine, we had tried about everything available and they were certainly linked to my periods. Many medications are different here than in other countries. My dad wanted to get some peroxide for a cut when he and my mom were in London. He had NO idea that it was very closely regulated - mostly because here it comes in a bottle for very little $$ and no one ever talks about harmful effects. It is far less diluted in London, apparently. And it is easier to get narcotic pain medications and also medications like phenergan (anti-nausea medication here - used for allergies as well in Europe). There are just a LOT of differences between countries. Here in the US we don't have 1 single culture to follow the traditions of. We are made of so many cultures, that it is harder for us to imagine a country where people are considered "outcasts" or almost terrorists if they don't drink. But alcohol is a big deal here in the reverse. I hope the implant has little problems for your daughter and helps regulate her cycle so that she isn't so sick. I wish we could do something for my daughter's cycle as she is about where your daughter is. But my daughter cannot have ANY hormone therapy due to other health issues. Docs say it is jsut too risky for her. [/QUOTE]
