the pain is gone!

Gentlemen reading this post should probably stop now. This one's for the girls.
I've been told that having your period is called "the curse". For me, as of yesterday, i thought is was a misnomer. Inconvenient and messy, yes. Evil? No.

Then today came, and I wished for death. For about two hours I was in severe pain in my mid-section. I thought I had food poisoning, untimely-with my monthly. The pain was so bad I vomited three times. I spent the time, curled up in the fetal positions at various locations in my apartment, alternating between chills, hot flashes, and walking around because the pain was too much. I ended up calling my Mom, asking her if a visit to the emergency room was appropriate. Two hours of "I think this is how you are supposed to do relaxation breathing", and two pills of Midol (2 try)-It suddenly stopped.

The weird thing is now, today, it's a good day! It's amazing the contrast of pain/without pain has an effect on your mood. I'm ecstatic that the pain is gone, even though it's been a mediocre day otherwise.

ah, strange that you get cramps now and not really before. things like caffeine and asprin can make those worse though. it sucks cos sometimes i get migraines as a menstrual symptom and i'm unable to take excedrin to treat them because the pain will just tradeoff with cramp pain. a total bummer.

also, i meant to comment on your last post, but my gizmo is looking for a new home insteaed of moving with kyle and i to lubbock in the fall so if you're interested you can just have him and all of his things. the only downside is he is a boy so his socialization with your girl would probably need to be supervised and i'm not sure if giselle's was or not. just message me or email me if you're interested.
