My period has arrived and is honesty no better at all. If anything it’s the worst it has ever been.
The daily bowel pain has defiantly improved but the monthly period pain hasn’t, that’s for sure!
Honestly the pain was so so so bad that I took to Facebook to announce how bad it is, I’m not sure if it was a good or bad idea but all I was thinking is that the world needs to know about this if we have any chance of preventing it getting so bad for the younger generation.
The evening my period arrived was the worst part. I couldn’t stand up straight as the pain was unbearable. I stumbled downstairs at around 11pm to look for pills but I stood at the kitchen knife block contemplating doing myself some damage. I talked myself out of it but still took way more pills than I should of. I’m not proud of it at all, I was desperate and just wanted the pain to stop. I couldn’t make it back upstairs to bed so I crouched down on the kitchen floor for an hour or so. Once the pain had settled down I went back upstairs to bed and slept.
I slept well into the following afternoon and in the end slept all day and the following night. I think it must have been about 32 hours in total. I know I can’t go on with this happening every month as I have a young child to look after. He is having open heart surgery in a few days too so there’s not much I can do about myself this month, I’ll have to deal with me when he’s all better.
