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.
