I am shocked- SHOCKED- that hormones mostly associated with women in the minds of men hasn't been studied well.
I recently was diagnosed with ADHD, and learned that a lot of women my age were never diagnosed b/c most of the research was done on boys and women manifest symptoms differently, so most girls were just not diagnosed. I missed out on medication and treatment for almost 40 years because it was assumed that studying boys was good enough.
I just... my anger over how much women's health is ignored in studies (more importantly, in FUNDING studies) so that there is such little info about really important stuff for women that has real consequences for their lives, their families, their kids, and so on is just HULK SIZED.
I am sorry that you've graduated to the Prom Scene from Carrie. Hopefully that won't last for too terribly long, and that your next step is better and more comfortable for you. Because UGH.
