Is it normal to have to deal with agonizing pain when i get period?
I can't even take medicine to dull or remove the pain. Why? When I get my period, for at least 4 hours straight, I have such bad pain that I vomit up nonstop, uncontrollable every 5 minutes during the 4 hours or longer. I tried to use a heating pad, but it actually makes me throw up more and the pain gets so bad I sometimes also get a throbbing headache.
When I try to relax myself and try super hard to not throw up and I get there, I have about 5 minutes. In the 5 minutes I try to take medicine to make the pain go away. But minutes later, my body goes crazy and throws it up.
I have had this for years and have no idea what to do. Doctor prescribed me birth control and I did take it but it doesn't do anything for me. One time I even passed out on the floor in my living room before the guests were arriving for thanksgiving. My Mother came in from outside (she has a key) and saw me there and freaked out. She said I didn't wake up until she spilled ice cold water on my face. That's pretty much how bad it gets and when people tell me "childbirth is worse than period pains", it may be compared to theirs, but impossible for mine. If childbirth is worse, I would probably have a heartattack from the pain and die so I don't believe that nonsense. My Mother knows I pass out sometimes and throw up constantly and she has heard of people having it bad, but not THAT bad.
Why am I stuck tortured every month and is it normal?
EXTRA- you don't have to read.
Also, when I get my period, its only the first 2 days that I experience these symptoms. I tried to take medicine before the pain came but I always time it wrong. I can't even go to work when I get it and I remember, once, I called in sick the night before work and I work with a friend..my friend told my boss I had my period and thats why I didn't come in. I was then treated harshly when I arrived back 2 days later. I went over to my boss and began to tell her that I get it bad and she interrupted and told me, "when I get my period, I suck it up and come into work and even if my pain was bad, I wouldn't ever take 2 days off. Don't do it again, please." I then tried to tell her AGAIN but she talked over me saying, "I'm a girl, I know what you go through. there's nothing different there, nothing. A little pain here and there shouldn't prevent you from coming in. Take medicine and you're good to go."
I was so annoyed I told her I quit and walked out.
