this is the worst

Jada

so I haven't been diagnosed with Endometrosis or PCOS but talking to my friend who has PCOS our symptoms are identical. My period is so painful me and my fiance actually just had to leave the resturaunt in the middle of dinner because I couldn't handle it. I've noticed if I wear tampons my symptoms get so much worse and stay bad for hours even after the tampon is out. I avoid wearing tampons as much as I can but I have to at work because you can see the outline of the pads right through my pants. I am just tired of this pain and can't find anything online to explain this other than "its not in right" I know 100% the damn tampon is in right. ugh. I just want to know if this is normal and how to maybe relieve some symptoms. I'm basically bed ridden with my heating pad on my period. ☹️
