Ah, Blue Moon mentioned evening primrose too! I tell you, that stuff is a godsend. For a while I thought I had endometriosis, but I really don't think so. Goodness, but it does sound terrible  I have bad cramps and heavy, heavy flow, but the vomiting had only happened a couple of times over the past several years, so I don't know. The last time it happened, it was so bad they hooked me up to an IV because they said I was extremely dehydrated. My lips had turned gray and my face was completely white. Man, that was scary.
I started taking the evening primrose, multi-vitamin, and vitamin E after that, and it's been a heck of a lot better. It's still painful, but not like before. And I do take Advil the first 3 days of it (have too, otherwise I'd cry). It's so hard to tell exactly what's going on with this stuff sometimes.

Yes. It is suspected at least one of the three strokes I have had was caused by a clot from one of the endometriosis pockets and traveled to my brain.
Also what might be making my IBS be of the crippling type.

i understand 26 - i throw up every month. vomit, diarrhea,leg pain, fibroid cysts, everything! it is the worst crap in the world and i always always always think, it has never been this bad before. i know it sucks ...trust me - especially when for a while i had them every two weeks. i dont mean to make light of it because i know how bad it is. i know my relationships suffer when i am that hormonal too. does the word miserable pain ring a bell? i hope you feel better.IP: Logged |

wow. thank you three for sharing your symptoms/experiences. It's pretty worrisome isnt it? Youve had quite a rough go of it LEXX. They say there is no cure and it's sort of a medical mystery. I've wondered before if i might be on the verge of a stroke or heart attack or something. Very scary, but after i make it through i dont have the energy to drag myself to the doctor plus i cant afford to do that, but i have to now. it's too serious. i've got an appt monday. MVM, I've heard that if you can take some advil starting a day or two before your period arrives it can lessen the severe symptoms. Mine are becoming irregular so it's hard to catch. YES! I get completely white too and i was sooo thirsty this last go around, kept trying to drink water and hold down some pain reliever and it would come right back up. Now what's that all about? Yes, it is hard to tell. Glad yours have gotten better. sunshine - you too!!?!  This isnt fair or right. ...what the hell's going on?
