Day 3

I hate periods. I'm in great pain and feel weak and dizzy from all the blood loss. At least I'm not nauseous anymore. I just spent $100 on herbs to combat my endometriosis and PCOS that causes me to have irregular, absent or lengthy, heavy and painful periods. I had to temporarily stop taking my B12 and multivitamin supplemental, as it was strengthening my flow. It's either no period with weight gain, or a prolonged "period" with weight gain that spans MONTHS, or an EXTREMELY PAINFUL and HEAVY period that lasts 7 to 9 days. The pain radiates to my waist and lower back. At least the pain is no where near the pain I used to feel when I was younger.

*sigh*

I was contemplating going on Seasonale, which is birth control to help regulate my hormones and lessen my extreme period symptoms, but after reading all the potential side effects, I said NO! No way will I risk cancer, embolism, heart attack or stroke for some period issue. Yes it's to the point were I'm chained to the bathroom or risk having an embarrassing and messy accident. But I don't feel risking my health further is the answer. Hopefully the answer lies in the herbs I just bought.
