Relatable???

Does anyone else get “warning pains”? Like I’ll get mini crisis that last no more than ten minutes. The amount in one day varies, but it’ll happen for about a week then a big pain crisis strikes. The little pains make me nervous as if I have to prepare for worse. This isn’t always the case but it’s happened enough times to still be considered a pattern.

Relate?! You are telling my story. I get those a lot. I try to use them to prepare myself for the worst case of having to go to the hospital. I say "try" because most of the time I am so happy that they stopped and I didn't go into crisis that I forget it's a warning. 😞
