- The pain started when 22-year-old Madelyn Morneault got her first period at 13 and became unbearable by her sophomore year of college. Doctors blamed depression, anxiety, and grief-until surgery showed something different.

Watching this and crying because I'm so sick of this cycle.
Can agree, when I’m on my cycle i it is always awful, taking birth control literally is the only think that helps not even medicine
Try Endovan supplements, it is tad expensive but it has been life changing. The pain you feel aka hot searing nerve pain that shocks you like contractions gone within a month. Also avoid dairy or the very least 2 weeks before your period
I'm only watching this now because I'm only 14 and got the symptoms. I'm genuinely so depressed but I just have a little hope that I may not have this disease. I feel you :(
Me toooo! Im Soo tired 😩
I have been putting up with this since 2017. I’m so sick and tired of being in so much pain.
I went to the ER for my menstrual cramps, they were so bad I fainted and vomited, and they just said MAYBE YOURE OVERREACTING. I was fucking PISSED, my mom was too, since she had the same menstrual cramps when she was my age. Doctors need to believe us more, especially if we phisically show the amounts of pain we are going through
I get cramps so bad every month that I puke and pass out and can’t really eat or move for the first 2 days of my period and I go to the hospital very often, but they won’t diagnose me with anything, they just keep saying it’s normal and they give me IV fluids and pain meds and watch me for a few hours and then send me home. They won’t send me to a gynaecologist, they have given me A MILLION pee tests, blood tests, X-rays and ultrasounds.
Going to the ER is the #1 problem. ER is for life threatening emergencies, and ER doctors won’t be of much help. You need to see a specialist.
This just goes to show that the health system sucks so much. You can’t even depend on them for help. I’ve been struggling for years with my menstrual cycle and today has been the worse day of my life. Usually when I’m on my period I get cramps, but I take a few ibuprofen and then I’m fine. But today I took ibuprofen and it wasn’t working at all. I’ve been in constant pain all day to the point my body is shaking uncontrollably and I threw up twice. I’ve never thrown up when on my period before. I went to a OBGYN and they all say the same thing. “Probably you have pcos”. And I’m so sick of doctors miss diagnosing me. Just take the tests and figure out what’s the issue. Not sure why is that so hard. I hate my period 😢
Same goes with me.. sometimes if i take meds, the pain will settle down in an hour but sometimes it becomes overwhelming and these days i throw up as well. And i have done ultrasonographies many times and the only diagnosis is pcos. I would suggest you to check your hormone levels like your thyroid and other hormones along with haemoglobin. Also a lot of people say they have been though a lot but by making lifestyle changes for a really long period of time, it helps. And i have observed this too, you need to follow a very strict diet and followup with a nutritionist after doing a blood test, am sure that is going to help to some extent. Because i have seen some girls they will undergo surgery for pcos or endo and then it comes back. It will come back after certain stage. Try to do yoga and follow a strict lifestyle with no dairy product and avoid red meat.
Honestly,i respect doctors but holy shit,why do they never believe the patient? I know some patients are crazy but after so many times,so much effort just to take something? All of them?
they never believe women, people of color, mentally ill people, fat people and so on... because western patriarchal society
The first day of my period I have to dose myself on advils and have the heat pad on me 24/7 ...it's so bad I always cry. I've passed out from how bad my cramps were..in highschool. They had to wheelchair me out
Yet another entire day wasted. Please help me. I'm in late 20s. Not coping whatsoever. In unbearable agony. Can't move. How many more years of this undiagnosed hell must I endure. I get absolutely no NHS help despite explaining in plain English to doctors how very extreme my pains and other symptoms. You've no idea how how painful and time consuming I'm finding it even to sit up and type. God angels universe medical professional someone anyone please help me heal and or help me die but please end this curse I deserve a better life. Thanks in advance.
Hi! Take a deep breathe, its going to be okay. If you are experiencing extreme period cramps, there’s a high chance you could have endometriosis (Tissue grows outside the uterus, rather then inside it). If you feel that it is endometriosis, there are multiple options to check, such as a pelvic exam, ultrasound, etc. Your going to be okay. As well as this, it might be nice to get a therapist, they help drastically with improving your mental health, and its really nice to talk to someone when we feel alone. If your doctor does not listen to you, please please please get a new doctor. You are not alone. You are going to be okay. I believe in you 💗
Right now I just went through the worst period pain ever I was crying so bad it felt like I was giving birth I threw up so much and almost fainted and it was so so bad I was rolling over anywhere just begging for the pain to stop but I remembered I had pills so I took that and it helped so much after 10 minutes it went away I suggest taking pills if you really need them I’m so sorry nobody should go through this it’s too terrible.
@@bunnycakec7132 my period started today and I usually get period cramps that hurt but they aren’t too bad but today it was extremely bad and it lasted a while where I didn’t want to move bc it hurt so bad and then I took some Tylenol bc I ran out of midol and it barely helped so then I made myself chamomile tea and it helped a lot but I’ve been in pain all day long but it’s not as bad as it was this morning and idk if I should go to the doctor and get checked out or if this time my period is just bad I usually have painful cramps on my first day but like I said today was just really really bad.
@@julissaugalde7975 it could be something due to what you consume? I’m not really sure but I didn’t get my pain checked out because I was getting better. If over the days you wake up to the same pain you felt today, I suggest maybe you should see a doctor. But if the terrible pain doesn’t come back, it should be fine. But maybe if you’re worried I think you should see a doctor. Hope you feel better!
@@bunnycakec7132 thank you so much I’m going to wait it out this month and if the pain continues next month which I hope it doesn’t I will make an appointment with my doctor and have her check me out but I also don’t eat the healthiest so it could be my diet I’m in some pain right now it’s like a 4.6 I really hope I get better but thanks.
I got my period at the age of 10 and ever since I got it the pains have been so intense. I cry every single time because the pain won't go away. I can't with this crap anymore 😥. Everyone tells me that the pain is normal and i have to deal with it but the pains I get are so intense even my lower back feels like someone is breaking it. I don't know what to do. I'm 42 now
Have you visited a gynaecologist? They can prescribe treatments that may help you.
Gosh im a pre teen and THIS SAME THING happens to me luckily i have a caring mother, I have tried tons of treatments and the only thing that works for me is just stay still and stay calm
I was a doing a performing arts course and couldn’t continue because of it. It started when I was 16 and I’m now 22. The pin is debilitating and nothing will stop the pain. No one knows what it is but they’re claim it’s dysmenorrhea
Can I get in contact with her? Or her UA-cam channel. Doctors think my intense pain is due to an ovarian cyst. (but the reality is that the cyst is small).
hi there Hey can you refer me or send me the name of the doctor that treated you I am going through the same thing thank you
I just started to have lower back pain it hurts I didn't get my first period yet I'm scared if its something else idk
So you are saying even if you got diagnosed and tissue got removed you still live in pain? That sucks. So there is no cure for endo?
The weather is cold today and mine is worse then normal
I don't know why it hurts badly when the weather is called
my countries doctors says "No point doing surgery, it will grow back, its incurable" They tell you "We can give you stronger painpills" the only thing that ever helped me was treating for adrenal fatigue, the pain went 100% but the medical care wanted tests taken and told me to sto the treatment one week before the tests and since it didnt help anymore when I went back on them. We're all fucked.
I'm 21 and I'm watching and crying because I got a diagnosis of dysmenorrhoea and IBS and depression, anxiety people made me believe that I'm trying to seek attention saying I'm an attention seeker. I have pain for almost whole month. I couldn't even stand. Today while taking shower I noticed nail scratches and I didn't feel that.
A female in pain and we cant figure it out..''Must be mental health''
A male in pain and we cant figure it out...''Keep digging to figure it out''
And the doctors are supposed to be the ''smart'' ones lol
Midol helps..or Motrin 800mg 3x day..if all else fells try getting your uterus removed.
There’s already kids in this world, I shall just adopt and get my uterus removed, we don’t deserve this 😭
@@vanessarodriguez4206 if this is an option for you don’t forget you can also freeze your eggs, and then get your uterus removed.. and if possible ask a close friend/relative to carry your child maybe
@@xoxo-jl5un I believe we can all be a mother to any child. If it wasn’t meant for me to carry and deliver, then it wasn’t meant to be. Instead of using that money to freeze my eggs, I can use it on adoption. I want this pain over now 😭! It for real makes me almost pass out 😞
My mother did.. cause it got so bad.. wrse and worse.. I won't though, if I take 3 days our of every month to just be in pain I can kinda handle lofe kinda
Lol as I type this it's so much pain I am almost vomiting and this is distracting me but not enough. .owe
Adco-mefenamic acid does not help me anymore. I guess it's tolerance. I've cried and literally limped to d pharmacy because of the pain. And ppl don't take me seriously.
