Getting this diagnosis was actually a relief for me. For years I had battled sever pain before, during and after menstruation. My periods were so heavy that I would need to wear double protection (tampon and pad).
But like many women we just keep going on thinking that what we are experiencing is 'normal'. Everyone gets cramps -
Everyone has heavy flow days -
Its all in my head -
Its not that bad -
Its normal to buy 5 boxes of super heavy duty tampons each month -
Well funny enough it isn't normal!
