It continues to be bewildering to me that I made it to 20 thinking it was just normal to have pain so bad once a month that my body decides I’m dying and need to throw up about it and then once I realized maybe that wasn’t normal we segued directly into ‘well this is almost definitely not normal but literally no medical professional I have ever brought it up to DID jack shit about it.’

#tmi #I hate that if I hit an 8 or 9 on the pain scale my body's like 'clearly this is food related and we should throw up'#migraine? time to throw up. cramps so bad I want to die? let's make it worse by needing to uncurl and move.#broken leg being a bitch? you're not going to believe this body that is NOT RELATED TO ANYTHING WE ATE.#also this is news to no one whatsoever but dehydration helps in exactly 0 of these situations #anyway this brought to you by the fact that I spent yesterday unable to keep down the ibuprofen that would have made it suck less #I hate that dysmenorrhea is so trivialized #the first time I brought it up they were like 'go get an ultrasound. ultrasound is normal. you're fine'#and it's like 'I'm really not actually????'#and I brought it up to my new doctor last year #and was told 'go get an ultrasound'#done that! found nothing! it's apparently working as intended it just also makes me pray for death like 2 weeks out of the year!#which I understand is unimportant to anyone but me BUT I DO IN FACT KIND OF OBJECT TO THIS
