Painful Periods Posted: 11-07-05 13:20pm
Hi girls.
I have extreemly painful periods every
month. My cycle is the normal 28 days,
and I usually have my period for about 4
days.. Heavy and sometimes another 2-3
days of spotting. Growing up my period
was heavy for the first 2 days, then
nothing for the 3rd, and the 4th was just
a small amount. So they have definitly
gotten longer. The pain is getting worse
and worse all of the time. What do you
all do for the pain that you have? I have
tried medication, going on the pill (which
only makes me sick) and heat therapy.
Heat is often about the only thing that
does anything to ease some of the pain. I
have to take too much meds for the pain to
go away. Also I usually have more pain on
one side than the other. Is that typical?
My mother used to pass out from her pain
and I have one sister who is 34 who is
having a hyserectomy this year, another
who was told to have one 4 years ago (she
is now 35) and I am only 28, trying to
have a baby now for 2.5 years with no luck
at all. My mother was young when she had
her hysterectomy as well due to uterine
cancer. I am starting to wonder if I am
going to end up like my mom. Anyways,
again I would love to know what you have
all done to ease the pain as I need
something to help. I am only on day 3 of
my pain this cycle but it is really
starting to hurt worse today and my clots
are incredibly large. That could be part
of it. Hope to hear from someone soon.
Thanks, mary

I used to have really bad pains, I felt
like I could die. And it would be like
30 seconds of unbearable pain and then 10
seconds of no pain. I would lay on the
floor in such pain, and I would just
scream and cry. It was like I had no
control of myself because the pain was so
bad. I then got on the pill and I do not
have it anymore. I would def. Go to the
gyno and talk to him about it. There are
meds for people who have bad cramps during
their period, one of my friends has to
take meds for it which is not birth
control. Just go to the doc and find out
