I recognize those Cthulu period cramps. They were what led to my own hysterectomy - surgery that I bless every day for having saved my life.

Oh my god. hugs
in addition to really bad pain my period also would last way too long (like 25 days) and I bled really heavily too. It was horrible and it sounds like you were in a similar situation.

Oh yes, and it was pure misery. I had my period longer than the times I didn't have it. Laproscopy proved I had extreme endometriosis and that it had caused my uterus to almost fold in half. She suggested a hysterectomy, something I had wanted for more than a decade. I had it and it was (and still is) the BEST THING EVER!!! I've had friends who have bemoaned their hysterectomies. Me? I wanted to throw a big celebratory party. No more pain!!!

the surgeon who did my hysterectomy told me my uterus was WAY bigger than it's supposed to be in a woman who's never been pregnant. Apparently the doctors were fucking taking polaroids of it while I was under!
