So I get really bad periods and I know some of ye think bad oh cramps but no I'm talking about the heavy period that i wear night pads in the day, shaking , feeling hot and cold , crying in pain then throwing up and the pain doesn't stop until I fall asleep from exhaustion of working myself up.. It all starting when I was 13-14 , my periods started when I was 11/12 , the first two years went by great and my mum would tell me how lucky I was for not getting cramps and I would literally just carry on my day to day life without any hassle but now ... I've been collected from school numerous times from the pain and have had to ask my dad to pull over on the side of the road to throw up .. Also the pain in my back and stomach is so bad , I was lying on the bathroom floor in school that it was that bad ... My mum (is a nurse) thinks that I could have low iron so she went to this drug shop and told the sales person about my periods she prescribed some pain relief tablets and ginger tablets .. They worked for the first periods but now they don't work at all , I've tried everything from Panadol , paracetamol , neurifon , ibuprofen .. Nothing works .. And now I've resulted to take atleast 2-3 days off school when it's my time of the month ...... Any ideas why it's so bad? (And sorry I ramble)
