I’m trying to get a feel for whether my pain is out of the ordinary or not. Could people let me know how often you experience any of the following:
Diarrhoea
Cramps bad enough to make you vocalise the pain
Cramps bad enough to make you cry
Vomiting
Pain so severe you are unable to concentrate and struggle to keep up a conversation
Pain that makes your legs feel weak / your body wobbly
Cramps that you have to use breathing exercises to control
Pain severe enough for you to miss work or social engagements
Pain that isn’t resolved by over the counter medication
Pain that disrupts your sleep / cramps that awaken you in the night
Cramps that last 2 or more days
If you don’t mind doing so, could you also let me know your rough age (like a decade - I’m in my thirties)
I experience most or all of the above most months, and I have had investigations done (inc a transvaginal ultrasound) which haven’t revealed anything untoward, and I honestly just don’t know if I can carry on experiencing this level of pain every month. Am I just a wuss? Is everyone just dealing with this better than me? I am so miserable about it. I spend easily half the month dreading my period. It’s such a waste of emotion.
