Period Pain + Sickness

Someone please tell me if this should be moved elsewhere - couldn't think which message board this should go on.

For the past 2 months, the 2 days before my period is due I've either been violently sick or had extreme diarreah. I'm currently sitting at my work desk, hot water bottle tucked into my tummy, doped up on Mefenamic Acid, drinking lots of water and running on 2.5 hours sleep. I was up from 3am unable to get off the toilet for anything longer than ten minutes. I was lying on my couch in tears, feeling so sorry for myself too.

Does anyone else suffer to this degree? I've had pain before but the sickness thing is new. I can stomach nothing other than water and my stomach is actually growling (not hunger, I forced some cereal so I could take painkillers) at me.

Any advice would be welcome.

I'm 24, 5ft3in, currently 228lb x

    I would see a gynecologist ASAP. It could be any number of things, from the easily treated to the extremely serious.

    I have had vomiting and diarrhea. The vomiting came from the intensity of the cramps. I am not sure why the diarrhea comes. But yours sounds pretty intense. I would say if it happens again next month go see your doctor. It could be something serious like ovarian cysts.

    Do not wait till your next period go see your GP a.s.a.p. and have this checked out. No one should have to suffer extreme sickness or diarrhea at the time of the month. That is not normal and does require investigation. Go on phone for an appointment now!
    p.s.I told you I'd be watching you xx
