Thanks, I picked up those tablets today. Definitely worth a try 🙂 Any change for the better is a good thing 🙂 I just stopped by to ask about the dosage, like, starting a few days before...
Tried Neofen and nothing happened 😢 Bought Blokmax Lady yesterday too, also nothing... 😢
I am so incredibly glad I stumbled upon this thread!
I’m dealing with insane pain again, feeling totally misunderstood because everyone around me just doesn't get it. Here’s my deal: I used to rely on Ketorolac, and it always worked, but I started tapering off slowly. I went from 100mg to 150mg doses until I reached a point where even three 150mg doses an hour apart did absolutely nothing. All I got for it was an ER visit and a nasty case of gastritis. Since then, Ketorolac is completely off the table for me. I switched to Advil granules, which actually works if I catch the pain early enough. Today, I took two packets and barely felt a thing... 😢 I don't know what to do anymore. I need something heavy-duty. Is Aleve really that bad for your stomach?
The absolute breaking point was when even a Tramadol injection didn't touch the pain. That was always my last resort. Sure, the injection leaves me feeling totally loopy—sometimes I even hallucinate—but it's worth it...
Usually, a good pill plus a heating pad does the trick. I never go anywhere without my heating pad; I just press it to my stomach and settle down. But that stopped working recently. Now, nothing seems to help at all. I think I've just built up a tolerance to everything. Help me out, ladies... I need some kind of miracle pill!
Hey, I’m posting this for a friend who doesn't have internet access, so I might be missing some details, but... Just a heads-up, she's 22 and went in for blood work because she's been dealing with dizziness and nausea lately (pregnancy isn't an issue here) Here is the part that's worrying her:
Serum Iron 12.4 (ref. range 8.0-30.0) UIBC 31.4 (ref. range 26.0-59.0) TIBC 43.8 (ref. range 49.0-75.0)
She asked me to find out what TIBC actually is and how she can get those numbers up. Thanks in advance...
Alright, I’ve officially hit my limit with this supplement and I'm done. I don't want to touch it anymore. I can't even finish this current box—I'm only halfway through. I'm wondering if it's okay to just stop mid-pack, and if there will be any fallout from quitting abruptly like this...
Hey everyone. Just took the first pill from my second pack of Cilest and I’m feeling weird again. For the entire month I was on them, I was constantly anxious and dealing with terrible nausea. I was throwing up too—not right after taking the pills, but a few hours later. And don't even get me started on the breakouts. I’ve always had acne, but this is different. My face is covered in these huge, painful spots... It feels like during those eight days when I wasn't taking anything, I actually felt better, at least mentally. My period showed up four days after finishing the pack, but the cramps were just as unbearable as they used to be, which is the whole reason I started these in the first place. Everyone tells me to just hang in there for a month or two until my body adjusts, but I'm already thinking about switching to Yaz. What do you all think? Should I quit now or push through to the end of this pack? My only real worry was gaining weight, but this is much worse. I can barely eat anymore because everything makes me feel sick...
hm... is there anywhere (online or maybe in Chicago) to pick up postcards with different themes? I mean—not just cityscapes, but stuff like flowers, animals, kids, etc...
I met my current boyfriend online after dating for a year and a half, my ex from an eighteen-month relationship, and my best friend whom I’m always grabbing coffee with... Basically, I found my entire life on the internet 😁

😘
That's the truth. Once the pain really kicks in, you're already losing the battle. You want to know my other trick? When it starts, I put something hot on my stomach. I used to heat up a towel with a clothes iron, but since I can't be walking around constantly, I just use a hair dryer on my belly to keep the heat steady. Usually stops the pain in about 15 minutes.
Carol Reed19 said:I rely on Knavon forte. I take one as soon as my period starts. It kicks in after about 15 minutes, and sometimes I'm good for up to 12 hours.
Knavon forte is a lifesaver. Honestly, I wouldn't make it through those days without it...
I first started getting my period back in fourth grade, and honestly, over the last eight years, things have been pretty steady. I’ve had maybe a day or two of fluctuation here and there, which is totally normal. But this month, I’m already nine days late. First time in eight years. Now I'm actually starting to worry! It’s not like I’m worried about being pregnant because that's not even on the table 🙂 but it just feels weird... To be fair, I have been pretty stressed lately, and I haven't been sleeping much—maybe three or four hours a night. Some people say the change in seasons can mess with you too. I'm wondering how much all of that can actually impact a missed period? I mean, I've dealt with stress plenty of times before, but my cycle was always on schedule...

And my head... ugh. 🙂 It could have been way worse, though. At least I'm happy to just be done with this.
Hang in there, Susan Vaughn46! 🙂 😘
That is exactly how it feels! I'm finally starting to feel better, it hit me all at once just now. Guess that means the worst is over.
The absolute worst part is when someone hits you with, "So, is that why you missed school?" Honestly, I wish people like that could feel this pain just once. I don't even know how I'm going to get through today... I need to stock up on meds or I won't make it.
I really feel for everyone going through this... You all are truly brave 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏
Ugh, it was brutal... I was home alone, so there wasn't anyone around to give me an injection. All I could do was take pills, but they didn't do a damn thing for me. On the bright side, nobody was there to complain while I was screaming my head off. I kept the hair dryer running for three hours just to stay warm. That helped a little, I guess. Eventually, I just passed out... maybe I took too much 🙂 And now the pain is back. It’s not unbearable, but when is this actually going to end???!!!!!
