Does anyone else hate periods? I mean really hate them! Mine are so awkward!!
 
Every time I go diving or walking you can guarantee that I am going to be on! It's pretty much the only way I can work out when my periods are going to come..by planning a walking trip! lol
 
It's not the actual cycle itself that annoys me! It's the changeability and the pains! god they kill! Some days just moving makes you want to be sick and then the days that it's controllable and you are actually able to walk, your legs turn to jelly and you just want to spend all day wrapped up in a duvet sleeping/drinking copious amounts of hot chocolate and watching movies!
 
I'm not sure whether it is the effect of the period pains or the pain killers but all day I just feel so lethargic..everything aches, wobbles, and I just feel to weak to do anything, obviously you have to just get on with it..you know, haul yourself out of bed at 6am when you feel the first stabs of pain..run to the kitchen..make some toast and gobble it down followed in quick succession by a couple of painkillers then head for a hot shower before going to work or college where you spend all day running around feeling like you are about to die and paranoid that someone can tell that you are on and is going to say something..
 
or is this all just me?!

    Oh, I hate the monthlies.  Even worse for me because I'm so irregular with them that I just got one a few days ago for the first time in a year and a half nearly.  It was SO hideously heavy I felt like I was just a walking eye sore or something even though I'm sure nobody else could tell.  I just felt so gross.  Then yes, the cramps were killing me.  They weren't as bad as some I've had ... but instead of being sharp, nearly crippling and quick ... they lasted forever.  But if we didn't have 'em ... we might get lumped into that "other" crowd, lol ... and don't want that ... although I wouldn't mind not seeing my monthly for another year and a half.

    Hege ~ gosh! that out of sync, that must be very annoying! Have you ever tried the pill or anything?? Saying that biolgically we women aren't meant to have periods every month..but that is because technically we should be pushing out babies in between..I read a statistic in a magazine..can't remember it now tho! Urgh that's another thing I hate..you feel unclean the whole time!! Haha! true! yeah..it's a shame it's not a "yearly" !!

    I love it!

    LW - Yeah, actually going on the pill "regulated" me into not having periods at all, which was fine with me.  I was somewhat irregular before, sometimes I'd skip a month or two or three or four and when I did have periods it could last anywhere from two days to five with no pattern whatsoever.  I've heard that now, medically, there really isn't any reason for women to have a monthly period.

    *shudders*

    i had 5 periods in one month a little while ago, and the one before all of those it lasted for 12 days continuously and heavy. don't talk to me about the damned things!

    the pain gets so bad i cannot stand up at all. and the mood swings are horrid.

     

    oh to be male!

    insanity~ gosh I'd never heard of that before! Sounds pretty extreme tho, but I bet the results make life so much easier!!
     
    Hege~ gosh really? I want to go on the pill but my mum isn't keen on the idea - cancer runs in the family and so she is worried that me taking hormones will make me more susceptible..I'm going to wait until I get to uni and have a chat to a dr about it and see what they advise I think!
     
    Rose~5! wow! unlucky! *hug* every June for some reason I seem to get 2 a month and they always last for 8 or more days anyway..so the whole of June is basically spent on! Gosh I feel for you! Men are always moaning half the time you just wanna turn round and say well you try having these!! lol!!

    why dont you try streching or doing yoga? it would help you with cramps.... just don't depend too much on painkillers... and if you missperiod by months and the pain is intolerable. go to a doctor.
  • LonelyWanderer said on Jun 09, 2009....
    queenie~stretching...yoga...really?! When I have cramps the idea of just standing up is bad enough..but stretching and yoga..?! I don't generally over use painkillers..I hate taking pills, I only take them if I have to.
  • queenparanoia said on Jun 09, 2009....
    lonely: just try it... ;-)
  • Hegemone said on Jun 09, 2009....
    LW - Well good luck either way you go, definitely wise to be careful and completely weigh all of your options.  The pill can do various things, also, not all pills are created equal, might want to check into that too.  For instance, the one I'm on ONLY has progesterone (progestin?  can't remember right now), no estrogen, because I have high blood pressure and the other types of pills help raise it.

    Queenie~ I'll give it a go and let you know!

    hege- isn't that the mini pill?? I forget. it had a special name.

    lonely- I'm pretty sure I'm in the same boat as you, pain wise. I did try yoga but only on like, the last day, and it helps when the cramps aren't awful, same as horseriding. but I seriously can't get up or even think about stretching the rest of the week!

    My doc actually told me to pretty much skip periods on the pill for years, because I couldn't deal with the pain. now we find out that that doctor was an idiot and pretty much screwed up my whole system. Don't rely on them!

  • LonelyWanderer said on Jun 10, 2009....
    Rose~ Yeah I've heard that horseriding is supposed to help....they're such random remedies..I can't think of anything worse that being jiggled around on a horse!! haha! Apparantly also there is supposed to be some sort of relaxation nerve at the base of your spine that is suppsed to relax the muscles and relieve the pain...I've never found it though! I just like lying in bed with a hot water bottle..but then that's just me bing lazy! It's so good now I don't go to college..I can have a whole morning to myself to work myself up to actually doing something with my day!
     
    God that's awful..I like the consistency of having a period every month..it's quite a relief at times...;) but it's the pain I would love to have to live without!!
