Hey Mortimer,

So sorry you are having a rough time of it. Don't know if this is your case, but for me... no over the counter meds helped me at all, I finally was diagnosed with endometriosis.

I was in so much pain the first two days of each period-- often had to miss school and then work as I got older. You really won't know unless you go see a doctor though. I was put on birthcontrol pills and was told that was what it felt like for most women--- I couldn't believe what a breeze each month was after being on the pill!!

I say get to the doctor and get some relief....life is too short to spend so many days of it in horrible pain-- when there possibly could be a remedy out there for you!!

good luck!!!

Mandy
