My experience of dysmenorrhea a.k.a painful periods

I wanted to talk about that topic and maybe share my experience of that. Because sharing about it may be a step into the recognition of it as really inconvenient in every day life.

For a little context dymenorrhea is from 2 words in greek : "dys" wich means difficult and "men"ย it's month. It's known as painful periods but like really tough.

I've had my first period at the age of 11 during summer break in august and at the begining it was great with no pain at all. I could go to sport with no fear even the blood wasn't that big, I used to do a sport using a kimono wich is WHITE so if blood got there I would be so embarassed ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€

Then, at the beautiful age of 14 I started throwing up for no reason and didn't know why but because it was repeating itself I linked it to my periods. It's been like that every periods since then. And every month a new symptom would appear out of the blue so there was really bad pain on lower stomach, I'm unable to pay attention to conversations, my knees were hurting like crazy and a new update that came recently is mood swings so crying for no reason YAY !!

The blood was more and more, the pain is on maximum 3 days. It's like you're trapped in a cave and there's a guy who always uses a new torture method for funsies ๐Ÿฅฐ. To describe the pain it's like someone stabs me multiple times in the lower stomach, it's just HORRIBLEย ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€ I hate so many people but I wouldn't wish them to go through that tbhย ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

One day, I heard about this beautiful thing calledย โœจ๐“Ÿ๐“ป๐“ธ๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ช๐“ฐ๐“ต๐“ช๐“ท๐“ญ๐“ฒ๐“ทโœจ my belovedย ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

Prostaglandin is a hormone that is supposed to cause periods so it makes cramps BUT because my brain decided to make a lot of it soooooo it hurts and I can't move all day <33

AWESOME ! And I literally can't move cause the knee pain is too high so if I stay up for 5 seconds I fall, like genuily

I hope it has more recognition in the future cause it makes everyday life just tougher. It can be horrible for people at work or at school. For people that have painful periods just know that if it interfers with your everyday life you should see a doctor.

Here's a video to understand better :
