Ever had or get periods do bad that you can't function for at least one whole day?

Question

Today I woke up with cramps so bad and a flow so heavy that I could barely move and had to call into work. My pills didn't help at all! I took warm bath and that helped calm it down for few hours. What do you do when you have a heavy flow and cramps from hell?

Answer

Maybe talk to your OB? I have endometriosis and it was like this since I hit puberity. I honestly thought incredibly painful cramps and even vomiting was the norm until I talked with my OB and got my surgery done.

That used to be the first day of my cycle every month. I️ would have to make sure I️ wasn’t working that day and not leaving the house at all. It would wake me up out of my sleep if I️ started at night and no matter how much meds I️ took it would be unbearable for at least 18-24 hours. Unable to stand up straight and could barely walk from the dizziness and pain. Couldn’t eat because the pain made me so nauseous. Mostly all I️ could do was lay in the tub with the showers running on me and cry. Or lay on the floor with a heating pad on my stomach and a cooling pack on my back and cry. It was so bad, my nerves would be on fire and it hurt to even have anything touch me. Many of times I️ almost went to the hospital because of the pain. The next 4 days would be fine. 
I️ don’t know what happened in the last 6 months or so but for some reason it’s stopped doing that. Other than mild cramping the first day my periods are pretty easy now and actually a day shorter and I️ stopped having hormonal breakouts. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Answer

I had one before that kept me up all night. I even cried because it was so painful and I just wanted to sleep. That was the night I almost smother my boyfriend with a pillow 😊😊 I woke him up with my crying he and proceeded to be a half asleep asshole. I went downstairs after that and ended up falling asleep on the couch two hours later. The next morning he asked me why I was on the couch 🙄

Answer

this is why I went on birth control. for the hormonal control mostly. then a few months later I was sexually active so added benefit. I still got pregnant tho lol.

Answer

That happens to me as well and I've been to the gyno about it. But I also take 2 Naproxen and feel cured in an hour. Those things are a gawd send.
