Honestly it’s the migraines and leg pain that kills me. Cramps/back pain are very much tolerable because those are with every period, only on occasion do I get life altering migraines 😭

When I first started my period, there were several years where the pain would be so bad I’d collapse and curl on the ground and could hardly breathe. These days it rarely gets that bad though.

It’s like someone is twisting my fallopian tubes or some shit. Don’t say 10 because I’m not crying but some of these period cramps makes me want to die ngl

Personally, I grew up my entire life with it being the worst at a 4. Once I had my miscarriage everything changed. My periods are now much more “clotty” and if I do not take a blood thinner (aspirin) along with pain medication it gets up there to a 7.

I mean it’s the worst pain I’ve ever felt so I’d give it a relative 9 but ik other people have it so much worse so I’m going to say 5/6 in general

I’m SO LUCKY I don’t get migraines I hear they’re the worst ever 😭😭😭. I get edema in my lower back though which is the funkiest weirdest symptom I’ve ever seen. Makes my back pain INSANE like I cannot stand or maintain balance at times idk man.
