Hey girls, I recently turned 20 in September and for a year now my periods have been so painful I have to take off of work just to sit on the couch til I’m comfortable to move again. I seem to be drained of my energy the first couple days. My boyfriend told me last night that I become a different person, I loose my conscious-he sometimes has to tell me whats good for me. I also get really nauseous and some months I can’t bend down. I was wondering if anyone else gets this way. Has any doctor ever found what’s wrong? Or if there’s anything you’ve noticed that helps month to month. I’ve noticed other women at my work don’t get this way, so that tells me there’s something wrong.
