Reading about people’s #endometriosis, the pain they feel, their infertility, the heavy periods
It’s horrifying that it takes so long to diagnose. Between 5 and 15 years. Ridiculous. Why aren’t people being taken seriously about this? Period pains THAT painful aren’t normal

The only painkiller to touch endo pain is mefenamic acid. It is a godsend. But just try getting a prescription for it
I read about a girl who was admitted with sepsis after a ruptured appendix. Asked why she didn't get help sooner "I've had cramps worse than that"
Ah yes, I have some mefanamic acid... they gave me that and some Zapain for my 'perfectly normal period cramps' that had me off work and angering my previous manager because 'your generation are mollycoddled'

ahh i used to be on tranexamic acid for the heaviness but I admit I never tried mefenamic - since tranexamic did nothing I never bothered.

Tranexamic acid made me violently sick. Mefenamic acid, I was in pain, but could still function like someone suffering 'normal' pains. It's worth a try!

Zapain just added to my nausea. But the mefenamic acid helped. Notably, as did going veggie.
Mollycoddled when you're fighting pain that has medical evidence of being as painful/debilitating as heart attack pain.... Amazing -
Oh gosh Zapain makes me feel wobbly? Like shaky? But it works so I take it anyway, then use mef acid specifically for bad cramps. We can't keep doing this, can we?
