Worst period I can remember

This period has been a nightmare and I’m only 2 days in! Granted It’s been since I was like 14 that I had birth control free periods so the last 5 months has been like learning my body all over again. But ladies AF is trying to kill me this month. It’s way heavier. The backaches and cramps have had me trapped to heating pads all day. I finally broke and took a tramadol I have from a kidney stone attack months ago. I’m hoping this lets up so I can sleep cuz it didn’t last night. I know I’ve got to go through this for a baby but damn it eve couldn’t you have just ate the snake instead of the apple!
