when i get my cramps i know when they're gonna happen because i get that twinge, but when they kick in full force by god am i not able to do anything.

but also i feel like i'm not allowed to say mine are bad because other people have it worse. i've known people that have had to be bed-bound or even tub-bound because their pain is so horrific that no medication can stop it.

and meds are able to stop mine. usually i have to take 1000+ mg of advil (or tylenol, but i have to also consume something high in vitamin c along the way otherwise the pain won't actually stop. it's because vitamin c has anti-inflammatory properties) and put pressure between my stomach and crotch, usually by laying down and having a plushie underneath.

i know this is all tmi but i legitimately think my periods are abnormal because of my cramps. and also a heavy flow. i have to wear not one but two overnight pads (i am NOT wearing a fucking tampon. Go fuck yourself) at once. during the day.

i think this is part of why i'm questioning myself as intersex. i usually use the labels extersex and mesosex because when i was born, i was not only absolutely MASSIVE (i dwarfed all the other newborns to the point where i was easily distinguished), but i was labelled as having excess levels of estrogen in my body and i went through puberty earlier than expected, just like my mom. but doctors didn't test either of us for shit because they simply cared not LOLLL

i don't know what condition i could have that could cause me to have/develop hyperestrogenism but i would Looove to find out... problem is we don't have a car. it burst into flames like a week ago
