painful period Posted: 04-24-08 00:43am
My periods are so painful. They are beyond
painful... they are unbearable all I
wanna do is curl up in a ball and cry
and/or scream I am in so much pain.
I was reading on another forum that I am a
member of how our moon time is supposed to
be a powerful time for women...and
essentially a happy time... when we are
supposedly more in touch with Mother Earth
and stuff, but my moontimes make me so
miserable I can't feel powerful.
Like today, I am so crampy and in so much
pain all I want to is curl up in a ball
and cry, I am really really nauseous, and
I feel sooo very bloated. I feel like a
freakin blimp! My jeans won't even button
without being so tight I can barely
breathe (and when I sit down I am
literally afraid they are gonna go "pop"
... and on me jeans are normally lose).
And I haven't even started my moon time
yet! I am on birth control (Aleese)... and
took my second inactive pill last night
(third one will be taken tonight)
... so I assume I'll start either later
tonight or early tomorrow (that's usually
how my cycle works...
I never start on the day I start inactive
pills, it's always 1 or 2 days later)
Arrrgh... I hate this!!! And it (the
nauseousness, bloating, etc) usually lasts
anywhere from 8-11days (from a few days
before my moon time, until after it's
over)
I am so miserable... I don't wanna move...
hell, I don't wanna BREATHE... I just
wanna curl up in a ball and scream!!!

How old are you and have you always had
these symptoms? Could it possbily be due
to the Aleese you were prescribed?
Ibuprofen, at the earliest sign of
menstruation helps me - nothing else!
Family members told me that once I had
children, the cramping should subside - it
did not. I am 46 and have had severe
cramping and huge clots since the onset of
my menstruation cycle at age 14. You
also could have endometriosis causing the
pain. Have you been to a gynecologist
with your symptoms?

I started my period at age 11. I am 22
now. The symptoms started back in 2004.
I've tried Ibuprofen... doesn't help the
least little bit. And I've been on the
Aleese for about 6 months now. No... I
haven't seen a gynecologist yet... just a
regular MD (family doctor).

Have you had an exam to rule out
endometriosis? What does the MD say about
your symptoms? If you have not had these
symptoms since the onset of your menstrual
cycle at age 11, it could indicate some
sort of problem such as endometriosis!
Hopefully, your doctor will find the
answer to control your symptoms. Until
then, try a hot bath or heating pad.
Aleeve or Midol seems to work for a lot of
women, didn't for me!

Get a second opinion - that is not
correct! You should not be going through
that kind of pain each month. Maybe a
simple outpatient laser surgery will cure
the problem. I assure you if she were
having the same symptoms you are having,
she would find something to help her!
