I know the males probably won't want to touch this one for their life, but if anyone out there has insight, I would appreciate it.
I was awakened from sleep at about 2:30 a.m. with what was quite likely the worst menstrual cramps of my life.
The uterus is a muscle. Imagine it as a fist. Imagine you are clenching your fist as tightly as you possibly can. That's what was happening in my lower abdomen.
I consider myself to have a high pain tolerance, but it was almost my breaking point.
It even seemed to affect my bowel. I kept thinking the cramps would subside soon, so I just tried to bear with it and go back to sleep, but after about an hour, I got my magnesium oil and sprayed that on - giving my abdomen a good massage. That didn't help at all. I took 1/3 of an aspirin and washed it down with mineral water. It didn't help, so I did an accupressure trick that used to help in the past. It helped some, but not completely, and I couldn't lay there all night clenching my fingers around my wrist, so I took the rest of the aspirin.
FINALLY, after 3 hours of torture, the pain subsided enough that I could sleep.
I've felt like utter carp all day, similar to how I felt a week ago after ODg on the PUFAs at the July 4th parties: drained, achey, tired, ugh.
This is the 2nd month in a row I've had a day of bad menstrual cramps since Peating. Last month was when it began. This time it was horrible. Prostaglandins, estrogen, blah blah. What's going on?
I must figure this out so I can prevent it from happening next month.
