The doomtime edges closer
For the last three days, I have been experiencing right side ovarian stabbing pains. It’s intermittent, but enough to take my breath from me.
Yesterday I began taking Ibuprofen gelcaps. This has in the past been known as “premedicating” before the menstrual cycle, in some sort of bid to soften the pain. I am here to tell you it does not work. The premedicating is simply medicating the premenstrual pain, nothing more. One of the myths doctors will tell women with endometriosis is that if they premedicate, the Ibuprofen remains in the system and helps mitigate the pain. What a load of crap. It’s another lie doctors tell because they only want us to be on Ibuprofen - they don’t want to prescribe narcotics or opiates. They don’t want to believe the severe pain we are in.
I have a more protracted rant about doctors and ibuprofen, and I need to port over more diary entries from the old website to this one, but as usual, there’s not enough time in the day. I need to be fed and dressed for work and be out the door in 30 minutes.
Last night around 9pm, my vaginal mucosa turned a pale brown/pink colour. I expected george to be here by today but he’s not. So I Wait For It. He’s officially due tomorrow.
Gotta get to work.
