Well, I'm not pregnant. I actually finallly started my period. THis is my first one off of the pill in over 7 years. I feel horrid. Waht's worse is I didn't have IBS 7 years ago so all I had to deal with was the cramps. My period always triggers IBS attacks, and this time it is awful. I didn't sleep much at all last night, I have been n* since about 5pm yesterday. I debated about coming to work, but I thought it might be good to try and get my mind off of everything. Any advice? Miracle drugs? I took Midol and it helped with the cramps, but not the IBS/n*.
