Yesterday, I couldn’t sleep all night because my head just couldn’t stop thinking. So when I finally fell asleep, next thing I know the sunlight is hitting my eyes and I feel awful. I felt super tired with a minor headache. So I took some aspirins and went back to sleep since it was still super early – the sun was just rising up. But like twenty minutes later I wake up because I’m feeling super nauseous. I get up slowly, knowing that any second I will vomit.
I was correct. I made it in time, but there wasn’t anything to vomit beside the water I drank with my aspirin. Of course, what I didn’t expect was to lose my voice after that. I couldn’t talk. My throat felt fine though, no burning from stomach acid or anything. It just felt strain. Like that feeling you get after screaming so loud for a while that you lose your voice.
I went back to sleep and woke up feeling much better. My voice was still out of commission, but I got it back before night time.
Now though, it’s a new day and I can’t sit still. I’m rocking back and forward in hopes that it’ll ease the pain because my uterus is trying to murder itself. I’m also conflicted…
Sometimes I want to curl-up into a ball, thinking that if I’m still it won’t hurt as much. Other times, I feel like if I keep moving such as shaking my legs it’ll help to distract me, to drown out the pain. Most of the times I fall back to the latter, since it helps the most or at least I trick myself into thinking it does.
My cramps aren’t that bad. At times I can ignore it just long enough for it pass without taking medicine. But if gets to be an hour, or it starts up again I’m like, “nope, I suffered enough”. There are a few times in which I can barely feel it unless I sit still. This time, it’s painful like someone summon a kraken with knives attach to it’s limbs to stab repeatedly at my abdomen.
Since the medicine kicked in, I can stop writhing around like a worm and actually make some chamomile tea and heat up some water to use for the compress. This is making me wonder what other methods do others use when their on their period? Also what works and what doesn’t?
