This is so inspirational. The courage you all show in the face of such adversity really makes me realise what a wimp I am. My recent three day migraine coupled with period pain (yes I know, probably all in my mind ) seem like a walk in the park compared to what you guys have suffered. You've made me realise how lucky I am to be a woman and I am resolved to take a leaf out of all of your books and to 'zip up my mansuit'!
