A woman who left a concert soaked in blood because of her heavy periods was denied a diagnosis for more than 10 years.
Linda Hardaker, 42, knew she was suffering with the same condition her mum, aunt and cousins had been for years when she first went to the doctor about her mood swings and painful periods, aged just 15.
But the mum-of-four's concerns were constantly dismissed as a heavy periods, even when at 17 she was leaving a concert with her "pants literally saturated with blood".
