ARGH...

*pulls favorite blankie, diet dr pepper, goodies powders *cause they hit fast*, waves hello, then curls up in the corner to die*

God, I've not had cramps like this in years... I don't want to go back on the pill (weight gain, emotions) but I can not go back to having the cramps I had before I was on the pill-- and this is terrifyingly similar. Worst thing is I started in the middle of the day here at work and I can't go home which is the only thing I want to do.

I hate being a fucking girl sometimes.

God, I don't want to do the pill again and I'm too chicken to do depo-- I know a 50-50 mix of people who quit their periods and people who had them continuously. I can not deal with continiously and not sure I trust an injection that lasts that long... at least with the pill I can stop it right then if things start going bad.

Christ, this hurts and I have no decent alternatives.

oh, how horrid.
I have to confess to beeing one of those *evil* ppl who don't get cramps... (well not bad).

But I have a friend who suffers terribly, and I am so sorry that some ppl have to go through that.

I don't know if it helps you any but exercise somtimes helps my friend, and there are allways painkillers.

Thanks for the sympathy-- luckily the goody's have take the edge off-- I can deal with a lot of pain, just that final edge....

Exercise doesn't work at this point-- and I hate painkillers. Occassionally yes but not days of them monthly. Out of the question. I don't want to get dependent on them. My best friend would slip me anaprox in high school so I could make it through guard practice. (flag corp, drill team, everyone calls it something different).

The only thing that ever made a difference was going on the pill. The first time I got my period after starting them I was just crying, my boyfriend-later-husband-later-ex-husband freaked and asked me why I was crying and I told him, because I wasn't in pain. We were both very very happy :)

But-- I gained weight and had a lot of negative side effects from it. *sigh* We just can't win!

As soon as my cramps start, I begin to masterbate twice daily and it does wonders for me. The pain virtually disappears.

I've explored that avenue before-- the few times I got any beginning signs of anything while on the pill that would help a lot. But when hurting this bad... nothing helps at all.

I used to have severe PMS and Evening Primrose Oil really helped me as well as, drinking plenty of water before my period. Dehydration can cause cramps to be worse and I have heard that these supplements have helped many of my friends. Give it a month or two. . . after that you should see major improvement. You can purchase the EPR at most pharmacies and health food stores.
