help for pmdd pain?

[ex-aporia643.livejournal.com]

i have pmdd.
i take effexor for the depression.
I take yasmin continuously to supress my period because i get *so* *sick* i can't function, but i stop like every 3 months and have my period...

I've tried pretty much everything, tylenol, ibuprofen, vioxx, all of the antiinflammatories but they just don't help that much.

i've had ultrasounds, tests, etc done and there's not anything *wrong* wrong with me. but my mom has always had pmdd and i am like the posterchild for it. I've been thinking about asking just for like... 4 percoset every 3 months but I don't know if they would give them to me.

it's not just uterine cramps. it's intestinal, it's the muscles in my sides, they cramp so hard sometimes i throw up because it is so painful.

Any suggestions?

I used to have cramps so bad that my back would seize up and I spent most of the day in the loo.

Chamomile tea is my wonder drug. It might not work for you, but then it might help. It is certainly worth a try. It is an anti-spasmodic, not an anti-inflammatory.

Poor you...*Sympathises* Sometimes my cramps get so bad I actually vomit. No fun. I've found that peppermint tee helps settle my stomach when it's being iffy (usually around the time I get nasty cramps).

Hope it helps.
