Today, for 6 hours I was on my hands and knees, crying out and wretching with pain it was that bad. I’ve taken feminax plus (naproxen) and paracetamol - did not touch the fucking sides. Luckily I’m at home.
It’s easing off now but at one point I thought I can’t cope with this level of pain (10/10) for much longer and thought how bad would it look if I presented to A&E with period pain, given that despite the agony it’s not going to kill me. Realistically though I couldn’t even go downstairs let alone get to A&E. Also I would feel ashamed about wasting services so would never actually do it. But the thought did cross my mind.
Have you ever had period pain this bad? Have you ever thought this?
I get period pain badly every month but not this bad. Gonna have to take myself to the GP to look at options.
