Thousands of women reach out after Perth woman's bleeding disorder story

Within 24 hours, Ms Christos' social media accounts were swamped with messages from women and girls around the world.

"My babysitter contacted me, old neighbours, all these girls I had sat in a school classroom with, all going through similar things," she said.

"Before I knew it every time I opened my phone I had thousands of messages on my Facebook, email and other social networking sites, all reaching out.

"So many said to me I was just like them, they didn't know someone else went through what they did."
