Viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs) are a group of illnesses caused by four families of viruses. These include the Ebola and Marburg, Lassa fever, and yellow fever viruses. VHFs have common features: they affect many organs, they damage the blood vessels, and they affect the body’s ability to regulate itself. Some VHFs cause mild disease, but some, like Ebola or Marburg, cause severe disease and death.

VHFs are found around the world. Specific diseases are usually limited to areas where the animals that carry them live. For example, Lassa fever is limited to rural areas of West Africa where rats and mice carry the virus.

The risk for travelers is low, but you should avoid visiting areas where there are disease outbreaks. Because there are no effective treatments for some of these viral infections, there is concern about their use in bioterrorism.

Your period eventually stopping is a normal and inevitable part of menopause but one situation which often surprises women is when they still experience period symptoms without a period!

This week I explain why it’s possible to get period symptoms but no period during menopause, as well as why periods can come back and what you can do to help yourself.

You mentioned that you were concerned about feeling cramping 3 to 4 days before your period starts. And actually, this can be normal. Many women feel cramping in the days leading up to their period, and of course, while they’re on their period. But if it gets more intense, or it’s so severe that it’s affecting your ability to function, then talk with your doctor. And after asking you more specific questions about it, they’ll decide if further investigation is necessary. If you have any other questions for me in the future, feel free to ask them on our Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/IntermountainMoms, and recommend us to your friends and family too.
