This months period has honestly been the worst of my life! It’s feels like I have been in constant pain for a month.
A couple of weeks ago I had a “stitch” type pain in my side and ended up at AnE. It was horrendous, I was sat on the floor cannulated waiting for 7 hours, to then be moved to a bed on a corridor, a couple of hours later I was told go home, in the middle of the night! It was a horrible experience and ended with me going home still in agony with no answers. Luckily that pain has gone now but I still don’t know what it was or what to do if it happens again, I don’t feel like going to AnE again, that’s for sure!
Anyway, back to this months period pain. The pain started a week before my period full flow started. This seems to happen each month now, full on period pains for a week with flaky red skin falling out. The best way I can describe it is like dead skin coated in old blood. Then a few hours before the full flow arrives I’m in so much pain that I can’t stand up straight, I can’t walk or get comfortable in bed. I roll about in bed and take so much tramadol that I eventually sleep for 15 hours or so. It is a cycle that lasts a few days. I can’t make plans, if I have they are cancelled. I can’t work, luckily my work are very understanding. I can’t be a mother to my beautiful miracle child, luckily my husband is fantastic as is his mother who helps too.
There was a time when one tramadol a month would help and completely remove my pain but now even after 15 a month the pain is as bad as ever, I’m just very drowsy too.
Today I really have reached breaking point, I have called my doctor (so sorry Tricia the receptionist) for crying uncontrollably down the phone at you. I am now waiting for a call back from the doctor.
