stephanie is: 
groggy…
been a suck day so far and it isn’t over yet. i spent the afternoon sobbing in bed cause my medicine wouldn’t kick in. the puppy was upset at my crying noises and kissing me non stop. i finially ran myself a bath with that lavender camomille stuff that “soothes fussy babies” and it got me to stop sobbing – though it didn’t stop the pain. i watched some olympicss in bed and about an hour and a half after taking medicine i finally started to get sleepy (my hint that it is about to work cause tylonol puts me to sleep while it works). i wke up 2 hours later. danny scolded me for not eating yet (and rightfully so), so i just took my next dose of medicine and am downstairs to eat some food so i don’t barf with this medicine in my empty belly. then i bet it is back to bed for me.
it is wierd how my period came a few days early, but now all the signs make sense. i break out a little that no zit cream can stop, my bum gets bigger, and i get twinges of cramps (which i got all last night). then with my awful cramps and queasiness come a sped up metabolism so i start to loose weight again if i don’t eat lots, the clearest skin of the month, and extreme tiredness. then it is all over for 20-some days and i try to forget it ever happened. heh.
</GIRL STUFF>
i got my period right now too and its being a major bitch 🙁 i feel for you. i used to have brutal cramps before i was on the pill.. i would often vomit cause it hurt so bad, or feeling really faint or actually even black out… often i would have really hot baths to help the pain and then aftewards be curled up in my bathrobe sniffling and talking to myself ‘please stop please please stop’..
it has been much better since being on the pill (i am on alesse).. for some reason tho this month is brutal anyway tho :/
anyways i should add you prolly don’t know me but you’ve been on my friends list for awhiles…
Cramps & Periods.. bleah
Periods/cramps suck.. I have min right now too. I always end up with horrendous(sp?) cramps. And the whole breaking out thing too.. in fact, I started on prom night last year =(. How badly does that suck?? I feel for ya girlies…
P.S. I added you to my friends list also, even though you don’t me either..
ee it’s the Girl Pain Club
😐 Do I know how you feel or what? My cramps have stopped being so bad today, but I’m still in a grouchy mood and yelling at everyone for doing anything that upsets my delicate sensibilities 😛
Have you tried taking Evening Primrose Oil tablets? They work for me, most of the time, to stop the pain pretty much straight away. It’s also good to take one every day for a month to stop pms mood swings. *takes off her Dr Tegan glasses*
*gives you a cuddley teddy bear* Get better soon 🙂
I am so glad I am a guy. I feel for women. Cramps suck! I should know, I have five sisters that have told me all about it. Anyway, my doctor changed my meds for my bum shoulder to Vioxx and oh boy, I wish I had known about that drug along time ago. All the pain and muscle spasms I was having are gone and zero side-effects. I noticed on the label that they also prescribe it for cramps. Just a thought, maybe something you could ask your doctor about if they continue to be real bad.
still suffers from the breakouts due to period even after 30 years of age!! taht and mine last 7 days.. and have ” bowel related probs” periods are horrid.. i think men should have been given the period.. i think i would much rather suffer male pattern baldness and blueballs than this
yes, mine are 7 days long and i get potty problems as well. sucks! at least only the first 2.5 days are the painful ones.
