Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

i went to the doctor at 19 with similar issues and was told to stop complaining, and that as soon as i had a baby my cramps would even out

... what? WHAT? wow. seriously? this is the information you were given? 'have a baby and your cramps will go away'? like... are they advocating that now? what about if you don't ever want kids? what if you can't have them? what if you don't want them for another decade? you have to sit there and go through this shit every month because someone thinks childbirth makes it all better?

wow. i'm legitimately pissed off right now.

pretty much

i told her (this was a female nurse at a big name hospital) that i was childfree and gay and she just kanyeshrugged

it took me ten years to find a doctor after that who i could trust to treat this issue

jesus fucking christ. i am so sorry about that, anon. can i ask if this is an american situation? not that i don't think that this couldn't happen anywhere else, but i don't think i've heard of people being that... fundamentally ignorant in canada. i'm so grossed out by how women are treated in the states.

I'm from the states and I remember being told that time would take away the pain. I was also told it couldn't be that bad because I had no proof I was in pain. I was instructed to take Tylenol but it did NOTHING. Only heat helped so I would spend long days at home in bed on a heating pad. On really bad days I took Advil. It thins your blood so I bled even more, but I was a kid and adults weren't treating my pain. I stupidly overdosed on them a few times because I was so delirious from bleeding and being in pain, but again, no one would treat my pain.

menstrual things are one of the topics that always piss me off. i had a foster mother that would insist the only thing i needed for cramps that made it literally impossible to move was to 'get up and walk around'. this is also the same foster mother that refused to buy me properly sized bras because she couldn't conceive of the fact that a thirteen year old had larger breasts than her. some people are just fucking dicks, anon. it sucks more when they're actually medical professionals. this is why i don't talk about what's actually wrong with me when i go to the doctor, because i'm tired of them looking at me like i'm bullshitting or being a hypochondriac and ignoring the things i'm telling them that are pretty serious and at the time of them happening, debilitating symptoms.

unless you go in bleeding from your eyes or have something visibly wrong with you, a lot of people, doctors included, like to think it's not that bad. what i wouldn't give for a device that hooked up to my head that i could hook up to them to show them just how much pain i'm actually in on any given day.
