I know the pains of a bad period, im dealing with it right now. It hurts so bad i can hardly to anything. i missed class today. The only thing i have found to work is to lay or sit with a heating pad. i slept with it last night and it really worked, but anything other issues i havent found help for. I saw my gyno about the pain but he told me to go to the gi doc first to rule that stuff out and he doesnt want to do a lapro if he doesnt have to.
