Before I started the pill a year and a half ago, I would get cramps so bad that I would have to call out of work for 3 days because I couldn't move and just spent the day in a fetal position on the couch crying, and couldn't sleep at all. I couldn't even schedule work around it or anything because it was so unbelievably irregular.

I was on Triphasil for a year, but it stopped working. Now I'm on Tricyclen. They both calmed the cramps down a little, but it's still pure hell... at least I know when to expect it though. I've also gained weight, which I hate.

No painkillers help much... if they do ease the pain, it only lasts for about 15 minutes. I'm getting a lot better at just sucking it up and dealing, but it's really not fun!

At least that's the only symptom I have to deal with though! Well, I do get incredibly mean, but I think I'm allowed if I have to deal with this...
