Zetti Posted May 8, 2011 Report Posted May 8, 2011 I have the most incredibly terrible period pain. I just kind of wish that other people who don't know how it feels (& who tell me to get over it) would experience it. My ankles ache, my back aches, my legs ache, my thighs hurt & I have stomach cramps. Oh god. When I get it, I cant move at all. Literally. I totally feel for ya!
Miranda Posted May 8, 2011 Report Posted May 8, 2011 Carina, I totally feel for you, I used to get that. So many people don't understand the agony, its awful isn't it. The only remedy I found was having a baby, which is rather drastic LOL!
HighwayUnicorn Posted May 8, 2011 Report Posted May 8, 2011 ^ Yeah, just a tad drastic ... & I don't know what my mum would say ... I went on the pill when I was about 15 for my periods & all it';s done is make them very regular but it hasn;t stopped the pain, regardless of the fact that I'm not even heavy that often. I do actually take feminax when we have it in the house which usually works (seeing as what was prescribed by the doctor isn't strong enough). But it's just so irritating when it affects day to day life ... I can be in so much pain that I don't even want to get out of bed some days.

HighwayUnicorn Posted May 8, 2011 Report Posted May 8, 2011 It sucks Kind of ruins your life. It really annoys me when people say 'It's not that bad.' But when you do get it really badly, it sucks. At school, I used to have two or three days off a month because I would be in so much pain. & I always take a hot water bottle to bed to ease the pain. & then I get hot sweats as well ... oh & I eat like, the weekly shop ... Seriously, I eat so much chocolate & sugary foods it's unbelievable. I actually had a bar of dairy milk chocolate for my breakfast today ....
Miranda Posted May 8, 2011 Report Posted May 8, 2011 I used to take something stronger than feminax, some ibuprofen based thing. I had to get it from the doctor, you should go and tell a doctor and say its ruining your life, what can they do to help you

I cant move when I get it.. Hot water bottle does help a bit but sometimes it feels like it will never stop.
HighwayUnicorn Posted May 8, 2011 Report Posted May 8, 2011 I have pretty much tried everything over the counter. Feminax does seem to work (but I do take a lot of tablets in one day). I sometimes go up to six within the day (I know that's recommended but it always seems like a lot) Yeah, a hot water bottle doesn't really do much else other than soothe it when I go to sleep. I suppose I can only hope that it will settle down in the future ...
Laura Posted May 8, 2011 Report Posted May 8, 2011 I have college at half 9 till 5 tomorrow, then straight to work for the night and I have sooo much college work to do and not a day off till Sunday
