Morning everyone... hoping the mumsnet hive mind might be able to help me solve this one as the docs can't see me for a few weeks :(
You would think by my age (late 30s) I would be able to tell the difference between period pain or something else but I just don't know and I am in tears over it.
3 days ago I got bloating and was feeling sick, occasional period symptoms for me and sure enough Thursday night period started, however yesterday I then started to get abdominal cramping in the top of my stomach like when you have a gastro complaint.
I took some omezropole which I have needed on and off since having babies, i managed to sleep but woken up with it still there. Paracetamol relieves it some what too but not completely.
It's a combination of cramps or feeling hungry but food seems to make it worse.
I have never had this (from what I can remember) with periods, but honestly as I near 40 I keep getting different more intense pains with my period so I don't know
Has anyone ever experienced this before....
i guess if I know it's related to period I can add it to the list... but if its not then could be something more ominous or will go in a few days and I just need to ride it out.
Just to add the past few days i have struggled to eat only wanting plain food like toast, salad or baked potato.... not sure if that helps or make it worse.
Any help, suggestions or insights would be most welcome
