I have spent the last year in and out of the doctors surgery in relation to the extremes of my periods- they are ridiculously heavy- i know lots of people complain of this but i cant sleep at night its so uncomfortable, i cant go to school, i cant go out. I have to use night ones in the day and a matress protector on my bed. It is getting ridiculous- how am i going to get through university life e.t.c?
The pain is excrutiating, but i only get it for one day right at the start, i have to get on my hands and knees- sometimes they last for 2 days, and on one occassion 17 days! It is getting me down so badly.
The doctors have put me on menafanamic acid, microgynyn, cilest- and nothing has worked, though atleast on the pill i could be prepared! My weight control is awful too- The women doctors have been pretty good, but the male ones think im pathetic- they took me off the pill because apparently "its not worth it just for period pain" (!!!!) grrr! Now they are telling me they can give me a coil in a few months- oh great! I asked to see a gyn but they dont see it necessary- im fed up with tablets and contraceptives surely they should find out whats wrong? Any ideas!
