I really hate my periods. The cramps are out of control and flow level reminds me of the scene from "the shining" where the elevator doors open up!! I tend to get very depressed as well from being in so much pain. I was sort of a "late bloomer" I got my period at almost 14 years old, but it didn't get bad like this until about a year after my first one and I was diagnosed at 17 with endometriosis. I have taken 10 mg percocets with 800mg ibuprofen and I'm still in pain, I have to sit in a scalding bath tub or constantly keep heating pads or hot rice bags on my abdomen. If I'm on my feet for an an hour or more, I start having joint pains in my knees and cramping in my legs. I always joke with my husband that my cramps have gone to my legs but it really starts to get annoying having to keep putting stinky muscle rubs on them. I finally got a gyn to give me Ponstel and it worked great for the bleeding and cramping part, but now its starting to come back, and I'm having to go back to basics (heat and Midol) - very frustrating! I also have severe ovarian pain that happens the week before and after sex. My husband knows when I'm going to start without me having to say anything because I look so bloated and get very crabby. The bloating part makes me feel self-conscious because otherwise I'm thin but my stomach looks so noticeable, like I'm a couple months pregnant. I always want to wear PJ pants and over-sized shirts just to be comfortable and hide it but its not always possible to do so when I have to go to work or other places. I know when I am ovulating because its right on par with the bad ovarian pain if I check my calendar. The only thing holding me back from getting an endometrial ablation is that my husband and I really want children some day. I wish I was ready to have children now, but we are a young couple and not in a position to financially. As soon as we get our 2 boys (hopefully), I am DONE with AF for good!
