My ovaries tried to kill me
So I was woken up this morning at 9:45 with incredibly pains in my lower abdomen and I'm thinking okay I started my period yesterday it's just cramps. So I take some midol and whip out the old trusty heating pad and try to ease the pain. Well an hour goes by and the pain is worse and nothing is working, so I call my mom who is on her way home from a trip and is about 7 hours away. By the time I get ahold of her I'm already writhing in pain and am out of breath. So my mom tells me to go over to her house and get one of her muscle relaxers and try to take a nap. Mind you, during this phone call, I can't find the strength to sit up in my bed. So I get over to the house and the whole drive I'm literally screaming in pain. I unlock the front door, drop my phone and keys and run straight for the bathroom and vomit. The pain was so intense that I threw up the dinner I had last night. I finally stop puking try to call my mom again so she can tell me where the medication is and I can't even stand up. So I lay on the floor and wiggle to try and suppress the pain. This goes on for another 30 minutes and my mom finally calls me back and tells me to go to the ER. I get to the ER at about 12:30. The nurses take my vitals and ask me questions and I throw up again so they gave me an anti nausea pill and sit me out in the waiting room for nearly 2 hours with my brother. By the time they finally take me back in to a room my pain is nearly gone and my dad has shown up from is work site, and hour away. They did blood work and took a urine sample and everything came back okay but they suspect that I have ovarian cysts and that the pain I was experiencing was caused by one of the cysts bursting. They didn't find it necessary to do an ultrasound since my pain was already subsided. We won't know for sure until I go see my gyno next month if it really was cysts or if it was just crazy menstrual pains. Either way, today fucking sucked lol.
