I hate to harp, but owwwwwww.
I don’t know what is up. Back when I was on the Pill, cramps were never this bad. In fact, I didn’t really have cramps…Even after that, when went off all the hormones. It’s just these past 2 or 3 years, I guess. My back hurts. My legs hurt. My left BUTTOCK (yes I said BUTTOCK), even my left arm, a little bit. Sleeping sucks – even though we have a fantastic bed that I love, I can’t get comfortable in any position. Doubt I could even if we had a memory foam mattress.
And yes yes, I’m so full of Excedrin and Pamprin and every other dang pain relief product out there. Lucky for me I should be getting an appointment with an OB/GYN sometime between now and June.
I do NOT miss my periods. I thank the fates that mine stopped cold, overnight, when I was 42.
It always lasted 10 days and the first days were so heavy, I used all the big artillery: two maxi pads plus maxi tampon.
Then, after ruining many pairs of underpants and sheets, it would trickle down to spotting for DAYS.
God, I hated it.
I gladly suffer the hot flashes of menopause now.
