@JuliaHB1 @BBCRadio4 @BBCWomansHour what's your take on women with cysts, fibroids, endometriosis?

@susieblues my take? I'm not a doctor. -
@JuliaHB1@susieblues You don't need to be a doctor to have an opinion. -
@dornerk@susieblues each case is individual and if a woman has a doctor's note, then fine. But not all women need time off for periods. -

@JuliaHB1 You absolute ignoramus. My wife nearly died because of her heavy periods and had to have life saving surgery. Disgusting. -
@dannyyoung35 so every woman should be entitled to time off work for a tummy ache because your wife had a major medical problem? How absurd. -
@JuliaHB1 My point is that heavy periods ARE a major medical problem. Absurd?? Really?? -
@dannyyoung35 no, your tweet was absurd. A heavy period doesn't require time off work. A medical need such as your wife's does. Next? -
@JuliaHB1 We might find some common ground here if you accept that heavy periods can equate to a medical need. This is an emotive issue. -
@JuliaHB1 Very heavy periods=low HB=Blood Transfusions. Ordinary periods=go to work. Issue needs more understanding. -
@JuliaHB1 And certainly not an issue that should be generalised or simplified.

@JuliaHB1 this is a non story.If you're not fit for work you don't go in,simple.Why provoke argument with women?Got a radio show to promote? -
@emsmort you've not read the story, have you? -
@JuliaHB1 yes I have. If women experience pain they take time off and make up the time elsewhere. Don't see the problem.

@JuliaHB1@BBCRadio4@BBCWomansHour I can remember times when I was practically crippled by period pain, and yes, I did turn up for work. -
@JuliaHB1@BBCRadio4@BBCWomansHour For some women that time of the month can be really debilitating ...the menopause is no fun either!
