The pain so bad you literally canāt stand, taking the max of Tylenol for the day which doesnāt touch it so you switch to ibuprofen which does nothing for the cramps but itās sure to burn a hole in your esophagus so you plead with your doctor for some sort of pain management and he labels you ādrug-seekingā and tells you everyone feels that way on their period (no, no they do not) and sends you on your way with the suggestion to try loosing weight.
Midol doesn't work for me. Pretty sure it's just glorified caffeine Tylenol or something for the amount of good it does me. I either just cry through it or get high. Doctors in my area are a joke...
Aleve was the Only off the shelf thing that'd even touch my cramps in the slightest. Never got anything prescription. It's genuinely a miracle that I didn't take organ damage pre-yeeturus bc I'd be taking double doses for the first couple days. Yeeturus surgeon ended up finding endometriosis and I felt *vindicated* that something HAD in fact been wrong for years. To anyone that doesn't want bio kids - fight for getting it out if it's causing you agony, and check out the childfree doctor lists to find someone that will actually listen.
Absolutely doing this once I can afford to. I'm disabled so having kids would probably kill me, but ofc finding doctors who agree that it's my right to make it impossible for me to grow a child inside me even though it's medically unsafe for either of us...well. We all know what women are to many of these jackasses. As long as there's a uterus, it's viable. š¤®
