Pain Pain Go Away

Once, a doctor told me that pain represent a signal that your body is giving you. That there is something not exactly right, so we have to listen to that "pain signal".

For the past couple of months, there have been this strange set of pain occurring not before, not during but close to the end of my menstral cycle.

I've had all sorts of pain related to my menstral cycle before, those terribly intense ones on the 1st day of the cycle. It feel like there's an excavator digging along the womb, it occurs randomly and when it does, its so intense that you will have to just stop whatever you are doing. The only way to seek relieve from that is to bend down and hug your womb tightly. I can still recall the many times I do that in the corridors of my lab (where there are less people).

Many years of enduring that pain later, I found out that my intestines were attached to an old wound, making it terribly difficult for the intestines to do their job (freely flowing in the abdomen) and therefore causing the intense pain whenever they try to shift away from the wound.

After the operation to separate the intestines from the wound, I did have a few years of peaceful periods.

Now, I just want to curl up in bed for the whole day during the early parts of my period. :(

I am scared... what if the intestines are stuck again? What if the giantmorous cysts r back again? So many what ifs. *bleah*
