Periods!
Hi Ptree,
Well, ever since I was 12, I had severely painful periods- I always felt like I was going into labour, and was put on every anti- inflammatory available. Nothing ever helped. I lived with the agony of pms, then the first two unbearable days of my period every month- I can't tell you how much it affected me socially, emotionally and physically.
Finally, when I was 18, the doctors decided to do an ultrasound to see if there was anything wrong, and they found a cyst the size of a lemon on my left ovary. They recommended surgery right away.
I had the surgery 2 months later, and it had grown to the size of a grapefruit- but it was benign. They checked for endometriosis and didn't find any. It was after this that my health crashed- I started with the chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and severe constipation. I became allergic to everything, including my dog, that I had grown up with.
I took a year off school and lived with my family, who encouraged me to deny my symptoms- I had no support and did the merry- go round of doctors who tried to put me on the pill, anti-depressants- you name it. I though I was dying.
Finally, I went and got a part time job- then went back to finish college. It was there that I noticed the chemical sensitivities, and spent every day with severe fibro and migraines. I graduated and then collapsed for the last 3 years.
My family is probably the biggest threat to my health, because of their horrible remarks and insensitivity- but I can't leave because I am so allergic to chemicals. So I'm trying everything to get well! I really hope to find someone to share a home with in the near future, because I need to heal on so many levels.
So, yes, to make a long story short, it all started with my period! In the last few months, it has been very irregular- 3 months ago I was 15 days late, then bled for a day- then last month was very painful- and this month, I'm about 20 days late! This scares me, but then again, my body is probably conserving it's energy, right?
colonics have helped with the pain- in fact, the pain I have upon realeasing waste is the same 'labour' feeling I got all those years.....
Sorry about the long post! Thanks for listening!
Terry.
