I have just read other posts and see something I also get...Every time I get a period I also get Diarreha, Ialwasys thought it was strange? Passing a stool during a period is also very painfull, and I also have a bladder problem where I have to go to the toilet very often as I can oly hold a small amount....(Also Prolapsed) But I wonder also if endo plays a role in this too, Along with the deppression i have had for past 9 years....Im reading hear about pain people get, I find it painfull, Like it unbearable not to get relief, sometimes Two Pandene Fortes dont help totally but I wouldnt say the pain was as bad as child birth, however the pain you get during the first hours of labour would easily compare...I find rocking helps too...I understand everbodies pain coping is different but I wonder how bad my pain really is??? Its like the doctor says to me "are your periods heavy"? well i dont know because I dont go and compare the amount of blood on my pad to my friends...whats normal? well maybe also I like to change my pad a lot more frquently than another would...Its hard to judge really, I dont think Im that heavy tho...Not like after you have a baby thats for sure...
