Period talk: Questions and advice
in Women's Health ·
I’ve been dealing with these absolutely brutal pains for a year now, every single month without fail... Since this all started when I was 14, I honestly never felt anything at all, 😕but now, all these years later, I’m suddenly facing this pure AGONY. I try taking Ibuprofen or Voltaren Rapid depending on what’s on hand, but either way, the pain just lingers for an hour or two before it finally subsides. It is hands down the worst pain I have ever experienced in my life. Honestly, I’ve reached a point where I’m actually terrified of the day it hits because it completely paralyzes me—I can’t do a single thing. On top of the physical pain, I get these weird tremors, almost like my body temperature is dropping, and my face gets flushed. I’m not sure if it’s a reaction to the medication or something else, but as soon as the pain lets up, the tremors stop too. 🤷 Has anyone else gone through something similar?? I’ve finally scheduled a doctor's appointment, so we'll see what they say.
