Ow. Ow. And again, OW!!!

Okay, I don't know if this is just the Yasmin or something else, but holy Toledo, I have not had cramps this bad since high school! Seriously! And it's not just the normal menstrual cramps, oh no. My digestive system seems to have started cramping in sympathy. So since 6 pm yesterday, I have been in PAIN. I've tried pressure, heat, cold, Motrin and sex, and no go, still cramping terribly.

When it started, I thought it was just gas, so just took some Gas-X. Nope, not gas, that made it worse. The ibuprofin helped a little with the menstrual cramps, but made the stomach cramps worse. So this morning, I'm on tea and toast (black tea with a little honey rather than my usual green tea) and half wondering if a laxative would help. I've also come to the conclusion that if I'm still in pain come 6 pm today, I'm calling a friend to take me to the Urgent Care center. Feeling like your stomach is twisted up and on fire is not normal.

If you feel gassy and are getting cramps from that, it could be the type that Immodium AD cures.

I wasn't really sure how I felt other than pain. It seems to have subsided for the moment, so no Urgent Care trip for me tonight. Borrowed some Advil liquigels from a friend for the main cramps, and it seems to have helped without aggrivating the stomach.

And I've had six pieces of toast today. :-P
