stomach pain on the first day of period

wow, I noticed that all these post are over a year. I search the net and came about this website and I thought I was the only one around that had these symptoms. Every time I'm on my first day of period, I have a HUGE STOMACH PAIN, not cramps. It will last for about a week. It hurts when I sit, lie down, VERY HARD to stand or walk. It relieves the pain a little bit when I lie down on my left side into an almost circle position, but the pain is still there. I went for an ultrasound, blood test, urine test and all came back normal as you all mentioned. I ask the doctor and he mentioned that it had something to do with hormones and gave me drugs again! All the doctors that I've been too ALWAYS, ALWAYS give drugs. They never mentioned anything about natural remedies even though I know, they know, there are natural remedies to help us, I am positive, I just don't know how and where to get it They make money by us buying their drugs and the longer we take drugs, the worse it's going to get in the long run. There are TOO MANY side effects with drugs that we REALLY don't need to put in our system to ruin it as it is already hurting. I am still looking for the answer too as it has been going on for a year now. I am afraid it is some sort of stomach cancer, but I don't want to think about it and if this family doctor isn't helping me, I will seek for other doctors as I have done in the past years. I understand what everyone in this discussion is feeling because I belong to this stomach pain while on cramps thing. I will take some of the VERY HELPFUL tips that I get from reading these discussion boards. Thank you so much everyone and I wish you all well and god bless us and take care of us in this time of misery.
