I needn't tell you how much I understand the mother issue. ;) I think at some point I just sorta glaze over when she gets on about stuff I really can't understand or tolerate. It's really appalling sometimes, the things she says and does. 0_0
Heh, I know about missing periods too. While it's not abnormal to miss one (or have an extra one) here or there like you just did, I started missing mine several times in a row. Finally, after missing the damn thing for over an entire year, I was diagnosed (due to that and other symptoms) as having PCOS. That really sucked, and I am now on the pill indefinitely to correct it. Really hope I can get off it one day though. Not saying this is your issue though. No way to know that without significantly more symptoms.
If you've lost a lot of weight you can also lose your period that way (body tries to conserve resources). So I suppose the ole generic prescription of "eat, sleep well, and drink plenty of juice" would apply there. *LOL* Then again, our family doctor years ago used to prescribe things like "more bran, more juice!" for acute appendicitis too... hmm... I think he lacked a good repertoire of cures. ¬_¬
