Random's Womanly Troubles Decide to Kill Her

[elementalhero]

So, usually when I get my period, I have some bad cramps and often minor digestive issues for the first couple days, and then I'm okay.

Today, I can't even walk without severe discomfort and/or pain.

My cramps are so bad that all the joints in my legs hurt, my back feels like I tried to lift something heavy, and the pills, they do nothing.

And you know what, that wouldn't be so bad by itself. I've had severe cramping before.

But either I caught a bug that just happened to coincide with my menstrual cycle, or my hormones are trying to dissolve all my organs, because to put it this way, I have been on and off the toilet for twenty minutes at a time for the past three hours.

I skipped my Sociology class. I am in the middle of missing the second-to-last rehearsal before our chorus concert (:C), and I plan to miss the two-hour martial arts training session, because I literally cannot walk more than twenty steps before having to run to a bathroom or just collapse with pain.

This is the worst day ever.

Take 4 motrins every 6 hours. That should help you out -- it's prescription strength.

Unfortunately, I'd have to walk into town to get them, and, well... I can maybe give my roommate money and ask her to try to scout some out for me, but I don't know where she is at the moment.

Thanks for the tip, though; I'm definitely stocking up once I get the opportunity. ♥

You really should ask your roommate for help. Ibuprofen/Motrin is best for this type of issue. Also, try taking a hot shower and having the stream of water hit your pelvis area -- the heat will help. If you have a hot water bottle, that will help too.

You can also try two Aleve, though that doesn't work for me as well as Ibuprofen or Motrin. Also don't listen to what the bottle says -- I got my instructions for period!pain from a doctor.

Just make sure you don't drink.

I'll probably take a hot shower and go to bed early.

Drink--oh! Like, mix alcohol with the meds? I canceled that date already, but thanks for warning me--I didn't even think about it.

Looks like people have already given you the same advice I was going to- Ibprofen and showers.

I hope you feel better soon!!!!!!

The concern is appreciated, though! *hugs*

Rumor has it you have a solo part in said concert?

Did my mom tell you?

Actually, Mr. Silver told my sister who told me.

Geez, everybody knows, huh? Probably because I am so newsworthy and fantastic.
