yea. i'm probably gonna try that this summer. but my family has a history of not reacting well to birth control and also it hasn't helped most of my relatives, but i'm getting desperate. also, i really hate taking medication. Probably because i've been on so many meds for so many different things throughout my life (asthma, acid reflux, vocal chord nodules, anemia,). And i especially hate anything that i feel significantly alters my natural body chemistry. I'm usually very hesitant to even take even pain meds. that's why i've really tried to avoid getting on the pill.
Hey becca! It's Ashley C. I found your journal through Tay-Tay's and I just wanted to say that I have the same problem you do. I get really bad cramps to where I pass out. I went on birth control, and for some reason, it only made my cramps worse. Not to mention, birth control gave me horrible mood swings. Now, I'm taking a pain killer called Naproxen (600 mg) that my doctor prescribed me, and it works great. I take it the day my cramps start, take a nap for about an hour, and when I wake up, they're completely gone. I've tried a lot of different things like heating pads, different medications, etc, and nothing ever worked except for what I'm taking now. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know because I know how horrible cramps can be.
I hope you're having fun at UGA! Talk to you later.
