Strategists on both sides
of the
issue acknowledge that the repeal effort is pure theater, aimed at fulfilling a Republican campaign promise to hold the vote and, hopefully, having the helpful side effect
of pushing a few Democrats into another
tough vote on the
health care law.
I am going through the exact same
issue as you (post-pill amenorrhea, with a slightly funky thyroid), and find the
toughest thing not to be the medical
issue itself, but rather how hopeless and out
of tune I feel looking to
health care professionals who toss out a quick diagnosis without looking at the whole picture.
