I looked back 5 pages and didn't find anything quite the same to just bump up, so I'm just starting a new thread. Sue me.

I've had a very bad day today, as I have on the first day of my period since the middle of school year this year. It isn't simply take a few asprin and go on with my day, I'm completely stopped. Usually now it's just me writhing and groaning in pain all day, and then coming a little too close to ODing on asprin.

Today it was bad. I don't know what the hell is going on anymore. I can't go to the doctor cos I'm so phobic of them, and you don't really talk about this to people in person. I couldn't do anything, I was colapsed on the bed crying about to puke, it was worse than normal and it's totally screwed over my entire day and mood.

I woke up at 10, played video games. realized if I didn't take some pain killers before the pain started I'd be screwed so I took two at 12. and at 1 the pain started. I take asprin before the pain starts, and a lot during. I fell asleep finally at 3, and woke up too soon at 5. By then I'd taken over 7 asprin in under 8 hours. Which I have this lingering feeling isn't especially good. I still feel like poo.

It's kind of at the point right now that if I don't find something to get it under control I'm just going to go back to not eating and just skip my damn periods. I'm serious, so will someone suggest some better non-prescription pain killers, some home remedies, whatever. It's summer so I can't take a warm bath or use a heating pad, not that it did crap anyway.

PWEASE?! I feel bad about not being at the boards much and yet I come back to start a thread, but I'm really at wit's end. And yes believe it or not I'm very tolerant of pain.
