So I've had my period for 4 or 5 years (I started when I was 13 or 14) and since last year I've had these terrible cramps ones that would make me house bound and cry my eyes out and be in the bath a good portion of the day. I've been told to get checked for endometriosis (apparently it hurts really bad?) But I haven't yet and I've been taking midol and pamprin all that stuff and NOTHING works or make the pain go away. I've seen some helpful things on here so I'm hoping someone can help me out.
