I. Am. In. Pain.

I have always had painful periods. Once I was diagnosed with ovarian cysts in high school, and put on the pill, the cramping went down enough so I could still function during them.

A few years ago, my OB/GYN but me on the "quarterly cycle"; basically, I only have a period 4 times a year, once every three months. All and all, it's a much better system, as my period only last 3-4 days and is usually very light in the pain department. As a bonus, I suffer from very little of the other assorted PMS problems, like bloating, headaches, food cravings, etc. Very seldom do I have a full blown "OMG I'm gonna die!" period anymore.

Guess I was due.

I woke up cramping so bad I could barely move. Had to get up and walk around some, because that usually settles the cramps down to a tolerable level. On top of that I have a terrible headache, right at the base of my skull. I feel like I gained 10 lbs overnight and don't even want to think about eating because it may come back up. My body aches.

I think I'm going to lay on the couch and watch bad TV all day. I'd go back to bed, but the upstairs gets really warm during the day, plus Alex thinks if I'm in the bed he has to be in the bed too and worries me to death. Not to mention the cats would pile on top too.....

Basically, I just feel miserable.
