So, my mom and I had been getting ready for me to start my massage therapy classes on the nineteenth, which is what pretty much all the information I'd been given had said. A few days ago I got my welcome letter, which informed me they'd be very happy to see me...
on the ninth. Not nineteenth. Ninth. And no it wasn't a typo, because the fourteenth is my first anatomy class with them.
Cue a mad scramble to get the rest of my supplies, figure out what time we need to leave every morning to get there on time until I find an apartment there (the drive is a few hours, so to be on time I have to be up about three or so am every morning-not that that's new for me), and all the apartments we've seen are either over a thousand a month or every review I can find for them talks about crime, druggies, muggings, car break-ins, fires and generally...not the kind of places I'd want to live. Oyy.
On top of that, I may have endemetriosis and may have to have a hysterectomy (my wacked-out hormone levels thanks to my screwed up thyroids could easily have caused this, which would explain the crippling pain in my abdomen-I do mean crippling, I was curled up with a heating pad crying in agony last night and unable to do anything about it- and severe bleeding, far more than what should be normal....like, FAR far more, and no I haven't been to a hospital yet and most likely won't be because of the cost), which will add even more medical bills on top of all the ones I already have for my thyroid and allergy problems. Joy unbridled.

As a 'comfort' ... sometimes, girlsj sut have random HEAVY periods. I've had a few 2 week long, dripping, oozing, (heavy duty overnight tampons? LOL, soak through that AND decimate that pad in an hour.) miserable, crampy death periods. Periods where after a few days your uterus is so tired of being crampy that every move is ~sore~
of course. I am fat and dont' cycle regularly so it might be my body occasioanlyl saying "FUCK YOU."
Anyway, I don't know much on the topic, butdont' go to the hospital. Emergency room is always WAY more expensive then it needs to be.. schedual a regular appointment.. you should be having those anyway, you you are not already. Also, if you havn't already, do your research~ I'm not actually positive that heavy bleeding is a sympton -- pain, yes,, but not bleeding. I'm no doctor though :)
Anyway.. if that's true, the bad news is that you may no longer have an idea what's going on. the good knows is, hysterectomy may be avoidable :D ... it COULD just be wacky periods. (maybe birth control would help? I don't knowh ow something like that would work with wacky hormones...
let me see.. other options... http://www.earthclinic.com/CURES/menstruation.html There's probably a lot of crap there, but I find there's a bit of truth smetimes peeking out.... sides.. if drinking some apple cider vinegar helps out.. why not? :) something to look at, anyway
I didn't have regular cycles either, until I started the medication. I'd skip about three to eight months at a time, then suddenly WHAM-YOUR BODY HATES YOU, HAVE FUN WITH THAT. But it never got quite this bad as far as pain. D8
And yes, the emergency room is crazy expensive. I'm still paying off the bill for a laceration that I could have taken care of myself, but my mom insisted I go to the hospital because of how badly I was bleeding. Guh. -headdesk-
yeah, I HATe irregular cycling. I'm like.. WHAM EVIL PERIOD... 4 months pass, WHAM! EVILNESS.... ... month passes.. WHAM WHAT AGAIN ALREADY? FFFUUU.... *nothign for 8 months* .... FUUUUUUUUU... .
I'm really sorry you hurt, though. I hope youcan find something useful there... cheaper then medicine, anyway :)
and uuugh, to the laceration bill :( I jsut wanted to flail at you.. since I know some peopel go "oh no, I hurt, I WILL GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM AND EXPECT THEM TO SOLVE EVERYTHING> ... NOW.. for CHEEPS
Oooyyy, I hate that too! It's like, I don't know if I should keep stuff with me, do I need it? So when I keep it with me, I don't need it, but the moment I decide to leave it at home because I am not having any problems-BAYUM, ENJOY THE MARCH OF THE RED ARMY!
Oh, it's okay, I'm feeling a lot better now-I made an impromptu heating pad with a ziploc bag and hot water. XD It helped some. And I hate hospitals, hate hate hate hate HATE hospitals, but she insisted that I go. I was carving and the knife slipped and got me in the webbing between thumb and forefinger, all the way up to the hilt. It ended up being something that I could've probably just bandaged myself, all they did was flush it out (OW OW OW) and put surgical glue on it, that was it. And then two bills for over seven hundred dollars. D<
