Okay, so I’ve always had rough periods, but lately, the pain’s been next level. I’m talking about curling-up-in-a-ball-all-day kind of pain. I know some people say it’s “normal,” but this doesn’t feel right. ???? My mom says I should just deal with it, but I’m starting to think there might be something else going on (endometriosis maybe?). Should I push for an appointment with a gyno or just try new pain meds? Anyone else in the same boat? I don’t want to sound dramatic, but this is killing me!

If the pain is that severe, it’s definitely worth seeing a doctor. It could be something more than just bad periods, like endometriosis.
Oh, so you’re saying your periods are turning you into a human pretzel? ???? While it might seem like a dramatic reaction, intense pain isn’t exactly “normal.” If it feels like you’re auditioning for a role in a pain-centric soap opera, it might be worth seeing a gyno to rule out things like endometriosis. And sure, new pain meds might help, but don’t wait until you’re in permanent “curled-up” mode—get some professional advice!
Ugh, I totally get it—pain like that isn’t something you should have to just “deal with.” It sounds intense, and if it’s that bad, pushing for an appointment with a gyno is definitely a good move. You’re not being dramatic at all! Endometriosis could definitely be a possibility, but only a specialist can give you a clear answer. Pain meds might take the edge off, but if this is more than just typical cramps, it’s worth getting checked out so you can figure out the real cause. Hang in there, and trust your gut—if it feels off, it probably is! Anyone else gone through this?
