Painful periods

The orginal post had to deal with what natural remedies that can help with my period? I use maca and it helps, but being almost 21, I'm going to the GYN. I just wanted advice and wowzers did I get advice on my painful periods post.

Just a personal experience here. My 16 year old gf (many years ago) had such pain she was in bed for 2 or 3 days each time. After we began dating she improved dramatically and had to hide that fact from her mother who constantly accused her of doing "things" with me. Her father was a colonel and I am an enlisted man so we certainly were not having any vaginal sex. Not because she wasn't willing but I could only imagine how many years I would spend in Leavenworth if she were to get pregnant. So all we did was lickety split and stinkfinger but that helped her immensely. In fact I never heard her complain about the pain again after about 2 months and we dated for about a year and a half.

I guess I would call that a natural remedy if you have a boy friend.

Many years later my wife only had problems when she had an IUD so when they invented the "pill" she switched to that.

@Moppys_jalopy As much as I love the idea of being pregnant and not having a period for 9 months, I don't think getting pregnant is a good idea at the moment.

I was responding to Vicki on that one.i don't suggest you get pregnant to fix the problem. At least not yet. Wait until you find an enema compliant guy. Good luck again.

@Moppys_jalopy Oh, LOL! You quoted her then put to me. Confused me. Good luck in the New Year and work, like all adults do. Enema compliant lol.

Cheers, Megan

Thank you so so so much @Webby for restoring my post. You are awesome! ?

I hope you had a Merry Christmas and have a very happy, healthy, blessed, and kinky New Year!

HUGS, Megan

Hey everyone, I'm the one with the painful/recently just uncomfortable periods. I'm getting my pelvic and pap done tomorrow at 10:30 am. March 6th. No referral needed. I had my tb check for work like many employers today and the nurse was so sweet. Definitely was distracted by the pinch than her talking to me through. I'm getting my first women's health check and I feel empowered! She kinda gave me a look after I said 21. LOL! It's about time. Haha. I am a birgin though so then she was like ohh and ohh to my painful period statement. And a big fat yes to yes he do pelvic exams. She answered my questions and I feel more ready. I want to make sure I'm healthy reproductively and well inside, out. ? I've met the NP before and she is and heck the whole staff are the sweetest. The nurse is gonna hold my hand. I just told her I'm sick of this interfering with my life and she answered all my questions about not needing to worry about the speculum and all that. I may bleed some granted I'm a virgin, but yeah she was so so so kind and did everything to get me an appointment for tomorrow. ? I bet I'll get a breast exam too. After all wouldn't the divine creator want me to too, imo he gave us doctors after all. I'm praying nothing is seriously wrong and it's just hereditary pain.

Do you mean to say that after all this time, you haven't fixed that yet? 😁 😁 😁

Okay, upsetting, but NP said I needed to see a better specialist. So, got to get my referral, Lord willing this month and schedule a separate gyn exam that accepts my insurance....which is my only clinic. Anyway, I was reimbursed thank God. I'm calling my primary clinic now.

I never understood the fact that some insurances are not accepted in some offices unless you are on welfare/molina. I have Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and everyone accepts them. Maybe I am lucky.

Mashie

The reason some offices do not accept all insurance types or plans is because they may not pay the doctor enough to cover their costs let alone make money. Medicaid is commonly not accepted because they pay like 70% less than others.

If I was a doctor I would not accept welfare patients, not a chance in hell.

Mashie

Not only is Medicaid low pay, but very slow pay, and often do not cover the tests or procedures that the doctor feels necessary to diagnose or treat their patients. Many drugs necessary for treating their patients are also not covered by Medicaid. It's amazing that doctors spend many years learning to practice medicine, yet these bean counters can take a couple of accounting classes and suddenly, they are experts in the field of medicine!

This then affects the type and quality of care a person receives. Thus affecting their quality of life.

In Iowa there are some areas where finding special dental care is hard for this reason. So many just deal with it instead of getting help.

This is called natural selection.

This bothers me, natural selection... Does that include , senior citizens, disabled adults and children, veterans, ?

Sometimes, hell most times the only form of insurance is Medicaid or Medicare, and have no choice to use it, who can afford the extream amounts of money for "excellent" insurance? We do live in a free country and it's your right not to choose to take " those people" , I guess we all have a choice... May not like your choice you've been delt, but hey natural selection...how the hell this got here from " painful periods" I don't know. But I hope you get the best care you can afford.

I am so glad to live in a country with universal health care!

Meg, I wish you the best in your quest to find out what's going on with your periods. I hope you can find a solution soon.

Let's not get into a discussion of healthcare models/welfare. It's

A) Off-topic - that is not what this topic is/was about.

B) Political - and against the rules for that reason.

Further posts on the subject will be summarily deleted. Thanks.

@SomeRandomGuy Thank you for this! I check in on my posts and I'm like golly, what happened.

I got my pap and pelvic today July 14th, 2019 at my 5:30 (when we actually got started till like 6:30) while my friend who is a doctor played Shawn Mendes Music (where he sung live) and his assistant held my hand it was uncomfortable with the speculum, but I made it through. I did it! The pelvic wasn't the worst bit and I think that stretched my hymen a bit. It was the speculum and I was like "ick, is it out yet?" and him saying "it's in. You're doing great. Stirrups were more like I placed my feet flat out instead of my calves being held too. That speculum staying in there burned, but I held my new friend's hand and the pap was gently taken. That small cramp wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Bless the Lord and for people like @Moppys_jalopy , @bridgette, @CJ1999, and of course @SwitchableSusie for believing in me.

Love y'all and God bless you, Megan

Nietzsche had it right. It's too bad most people don't recognize this:

To die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly. Death freely chosen, death at the right time, brightly and cheerfully accomplished amid children and witnesses: then a real farewell is still possible, as the one who is taking leave is still there; also a real estimate of what one has achieved and what one has wished, drawing the sum of one’s life—all in opposition to the wretched and revolting comedy that Christianity has made of the hour of death. One should never forget that Christianity has exploited the weakness of the dying for a rape of the conscience; and the manner of death itself, for value judgments about man and the past.

.

Some die too young, some die too old; the precept sounds strange, but die at the right age.

@SwitchableSusie Sue, you are like an amazing friend but this post is about my periods and women's health not evolution.

The term "natural selection" used by Mashie in this case was not exactly, but more like a metaphor than a literal term describing evolution.

I'm so glad it went well for you and it's done! I hope everything goes well for you. ?

@caresabouthealth, so proud of you Meg ! ?

@caresabouthealth

Pleased you got that done Megan I just wished that women over here in the UK would follow your example. There has apparently been a drop off in the take up of pap smears particularly in younger women aged between 25 - 30, although they would receive the invitation automatically in their 25th year and they are free of charge over here of course. I know that girls have been offered a free vaccination of Gardasil at age 12 for some time now and boys at age 12 will also be offered it from September this year, but I think it is still good practice to have a pap smear done at least every 3 years.

Hope your results are good...

Hi, Megan. I hope your medical appointment will provide the relief you deserve. You know, birth control mostly makes sure you are on a regular cycle and your young body may just need a little adjusting to you now being a woman. Much healthier for you than any kind of pain killer. And as far as the doctor appointment goes, it is just a fact of life and not nearly as scary as you are thinking. I'm sure your mom and friend will find a professional, helpful person for you to talk to. You sound like a wonderful young woman and you no doubt will be surprised at how much better you will feel when all is said and done. Most of all, take care of yourself. God bless.
