Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Aunt Flo Agony! (TMI maybe)

Hi Ladies,

Just wanted to vent to some gals who I knew could relate.. I am just having the *worst* period ever and I barely made it through work today..
My cramps are terrible, I took 3 doses of extra-strength tylenol, 2 of extra-strangth Gas-X and lots of mint tea and I was in *agony* at work.
I had to run back and forth to the potty all day with really bad D and the worst GAS EVER! This is kinda gross, but I would have to run to the bathroom and soooo much gas would come out of me, it was so embarassing that I had to wait until everyone else had left the bathroom! My stomach felt like it was going to burst, and then go away a bit when I'd go "release" in the bathroom and then it felt like it would just fill right back up with air. It felt like so much pressure, I wanted to puke!
My stomach, back, sides, legs.. everything aches. I am totally exhausted - on Thursday I fell asleep at 5:30-8:45, went to bed at 9:30 and *still* couldn't get myself to work in the morning. I was so out of it, I called in sick and slept nearly the whole day!

Then I went to bed early last night (like 9:30 again) and made it to work.

Am home now, in my sweats and the meds seem to have finally kicked in.. This is the worst I've ever had and I really hope this isn't a taste to come of my periods from now on or I'll die!.. Well, maybe not that dramatic but still..

Thanks for letting me vent!

Steph
