*Lift corner of Lid to Vent*

[themeletor]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGHfgafghsadf.


Period.

*rage against the uterus*


...

Ok, I know this isn't half as bad as many people have to deal with. I, however, am being pissy and vocal. You all are free to be vocal as well.

...In fact?

Let's do it. Right here, right now. Complain, vent, bitch, rant, and moan. Horror stories, furious raging, slumber-party material, whatever. This is your soapbox. Let's hear it, ladies. It's good for the system.


(In the meantime, I have Sparrington to corral)

Strangely enough, I'm suffering from the same condition right this moment. Ah yes, don't we all love it? I particularly hate it because it always makes my bloody back flare up again.

Huzzah for tampons. Sorry, that really needed to be said.

[meletor-et-al.livejournal.com]

No apologies needed.

Onward, sister!

I hate girls who go after guys simply to break their friends hearts. One bitch did it to me a year ago—still ain't over it.
Her poetry is shit too.

I also really really fucking hate when people tell me I'm stupid. I'm not. wtf. Could an idiot have scored what I did on my SAT? Grr. I work hard and I study hard. I've got a fucking 3.9 and people call me a stupid slut? NO. Further more, I'm a virgin! I will be until the night of my marriage! Don't call me a whore. Don't call me a slut. RAAAH.

I'm calm now.

*sends hugs, love, lots and lots of Ibuprofen*

Wow.

You go, girl!

I just use it as a (valid) excuse to eat loads of chocolate.

[meletor-et-al.livejournal.com]

That, too.

[duckgirlie.livejournal.com]

Until my brother steals my chocolate, and I must unleash my wrath.

[meletor-et-al.livejournal.com]

RAWR.

[duckgirlie.livejournal.com]

Indeed.
The only other benefit is when you can make shifty eyes at the PE teacher, mutter 'cramps' and watch him squirm as you walk to the bench.

Have I told you today how much I love you?

Well, I don't feel the need to vent anything right now, but I'm sure I shall in a few days time... Right now, I'm just at teh "can't cope with the real world" stage. This is fine at teh weekend because I can bury myself in fic-writing today, and tomorrow I have a 9-hour shift of cheffing. Oh god I hope my period doesn't start in the middle of that! Eeeek! Well, I'll have to hope that there's enough stress to hold it at bay, because I know from experience that I really can't cope behind there during the first day... Well, I'd like to know who could cope with any work when it takes 85% concentration to stand up straight, and 60% concentration not to be moaning out loud because it hurts so goddamn much! yep, who has over 145% concentration? No one!

Ah well, at least there's fryers to keep my back warm on :-) If I need them, that is...

it's strange enough when your cycle synchronises with your real life friends - even more so when it happens online - i've been chewing ibuprofen like smarties all day.

and now? the rant. I have endometriosis. I know this. I know this because, despite what my pe teachers, my boss at work and some of my friends say passing out, vomitting, and weeping in pain for 12 days out of every 28 is not natural I've tried every birth control pill i could for 6 years, tried yoga, changing my diet, popped prescription painkillers at double the stated dose every day (and washed them down with neat spirits to get them to work faster) does any of this work? nope. so last year I finally had a laporoscopy to sort it all out and have a coil fitted. when they checked they found no endometriosis cells whatsoever. this is total crap. crap crap crap. the pain i get is so precise i could have drawn them diagrams on where to look. Also, theoretically the coil should have stopped my periods completely by now. well it's stopped the bleeding, that's for sure. the pain? still there. worse than before.

ah well I can spend the money i save on tampons on codeine and chocolate cake i suppose.

[lolita-stardust.livejournal.com]

having said that though - I got the best thing ever for christmas - a hot water bottle with a knitted pirate cover.
functional and themed, what more could a girl ask for?

[ima-pseudonym.livejournal.com]

O.O I just started 'mine'! I've been waiting over half a month for it (was beginning to worry) and then my friend showed up, unexpectedly this morning to go out.. I had about five minutes to get ready from being dead asleep and.. bam. There it was. After the initial shock, the physical complaints set in. So now I'm quite uncomfortable. Especially as she kept laying on me all afternoon.
My period is as spontaneous as they come.. It can last anywhere from 6 to 8 days (once, it lasted 2).. And might strike at any time. The discomfort will steadily grow from tonight on, until I'm nearly sick tomorrow...
And then, on day 4 it will seem to go away... lulling me into a (would be unsuspecting calm) before coming back full force on day 5 and then stopping.

...Sorry... I had an invite to complain about my period.. Couldn't pass that up... I'm gonna go take some more motrin, now, so.. sorry. Again.

You asked for it, so here I am. Rock you like a hurricane. Ha.

About a year after I started getting "mine", they came every other week. Not to mention now it hurts like heck, and pms is a problem.

But now for my real unloading.

I am suffering from the post-graduation blues. I see how incredibly not-far my diploma with high honors is getting me. I spent a lot of my time in high school trying to keep my grades up so that I could graduate with high honors, and you know what? That stupid diploma and two bucks will get me a cup of coffee. I have never felt so aimless in my life. My job sucks. It's hot, and just hard enough that I can't zone out. But I don't use my brain at all. Today I could almost feel my IQ points melting away in the heat. Ugh. Not to mention my brother has a job where he's making twice as much per hour as I am, and he's using and developing the skills he'll need to pursue a career in engineering.

Don't mind me sneaking in to add you so I don't accidentally miss your fic!

Plus, anyone who likes seafaring slash has to be a good thing.

As for period horror-stories, my sister has polycystic ovaries. Until the doctors finally got off their arses and diagnosed her, she'd have one or two periods a year. In the week before, she'd get badly water-retentive; during the week of the period she would bleed so heavily she had to stay off school. She would lose a stone's worth of blood and up to nine inches off her stomach, she was bleeding so bad.

I'm lucky by comparison, I just get pain so bad I've been known to chuck :X. Hallelujah for mefanamic acid!

[meletor-et-al.livejournal.com]

oh, my fic doesn't tend to go here except rather recently, but rather it hangs out at thexyboombang. but it's always good to have new friends! *sparkle*

If you're looking for seafaring slash people... well, yep. All over the place, here. Seriously. (Of course, it helps that slash is practically CANON in Age of Sail fandoms...) --don't mind me; I'm working on little sleep and much coffee.

Oh... oh dear. that is a horror story. Well, I'm glad she got diagnosed and all in the end... .::sends mounds of retroactive virtual hugs::.

What sucks is when the pain's so bad you can't chuck because you think your stomach's going to tear out.

Rant on, milady! And welcome aboard!

[drbillbongo.livejournal.com]

I'll be in your position soon.

On the one hand, it's quite relieving to be punished with it every month.
But on the other hand, it sucks. Majorly.

[justwatchmetry.livejournal.com]

Don't you just LOVE being a girl? Guys bitch about...things all the time. Well, I say we castrate them, and give them a uterus, ovaries, and the works for a week. And let a period fall somewhere in there. Haha...not so macho man.

[meletor-et-al.livejournal.com]

Bwahahahahahah.

Yes.
Like to see them deal with THAT.

To quote, well, me--

Guys have it SO easy.

Once a month we go through HELL and we BLEED from INCONVENIENT and VERY PERSONAL places for ALMOST A WEEK.


Once a week they have to orgasm, or their balls turn blue. And even this is a myth, apparently, but who do you imagine has ever gone more than a week to verify? I mean, when it is -that- easy to jack off, why the hell not? Lucky sods.

[trolleypup.livejournal.com]

Pretty much. The easy part anyway.

I mean, I hate the passengers sometimes, but if they actually annoy me to the point of, well, seriously annoying me, I can always stop the bus and inform them that the bus is broken down, kick them off and take a break.

Passengers...raaar![1] I would be happy to hand a few of them periods, along with their transfers.

[1] It's been 9 days since I drove a bus so the earsplitting cranky snarling is in abeyance for another 37 hours.

[justwatchmetry.livejournal.com]

Bastards. All they need is a tube of Bengay or Icy Hot, and they are just fine. Well, physically at least. Why can't periods just...I don't know-why can't the blood just...evaporate invisibly, and all you need is something like an extra deodorant or something? GRRR.
