PMS Sick Days

[Deleted]

I wish these existed. LOL.

My cramps are kicking in and they are so brutal. Every month I feel like I've been beat up, thrown down some stairs and stoned. My ute feels like it's eating itself. :-( :-( :-( :-(

I want to go home and crawl in my bed with my heating pad and cry. But alas, I'm here for another 2.5 hours.

No matter how many pain pills I take the pain doesn't stop. Nothing makes the pain stop. You'd think it'd be easier or "used to it" but every month I'm brought to tears and usually the toilet. :-( :-(

I just want to whine. Wah.

Hopefully getting your IUD will help that?

Hopefully. It will either help or make them worse.

At this point, I've given up on really any sort of relief.

Why don't you take one? Call it a migraine.

I can't. I've already used one this month.

Do you have any underlying issues? I feel your pain. This was me until a couple of months ago. Now it is only every once in a while.

I used to take 1600mg of Motrin every 4-6 hours. Yes, I know it is a lot, but it is the only thing that worked. And honestly, it would just knock me out so I guess you can't do that at work.

None that my gyno has been able to find. I've been dealing with them for 10+ years.

I used to take 1600mg of Ibuprofen. But that doesn't work anymore. Most the time they get so bad that I get nauseous and can't keep anything down. Not even water.

I been there. Actually finding the older I am getting the worse the pain and longer my periods are..Sometimes I do leave early or even end up in a dam ball under the blankets for "sick days". I need to call my doctor yet again, I can't take it anymore. I myself cannot be on any hormonal bcp, so my options are really limited. Since my hip injury, the pain for a week goes form my back to my toes and back again..

Hope your pain subsides with the IUD though.
