I honestly wish there were simulators that could re-create what we go through every month and that every doctor, male & female, were forced to go through it too, so they would understand. I am so tired of going to the doctor's office for help with pms and having them look at me as though I am a big baby! I have been so many times, asking for any advice on different medications or methods of relief and have not received any good suggestions from any doctor.
Last month, I was feeling miserable, I wanted to rip out my uterus in an attempt to stop the cramping that seems to take over my entire lower region. I was attempting to clean my house and came across and old prescription of vicodin, I decided to take one and pray it helped, although I could still somewhat feel it, it was enough relief that I could hear myself think again. I went to the doctor this month, excited, thinking I had finally found a way to minimize some of the horror I experience and was instead given a very lengthy lecture on the abuse of pain medication. He also stated that vicodin would only cover the pain and not cure it, DUUH! That is the point, mask the pain, until my body makes it go away!! Anyone else been made to feel like a drug addict when asking for relief?? I left feeling wounded and still had my horrible cramps.
