I had really bad periods for yrs just getting worse and worse from 1 month to the nxt , in the end I had the coil fitted and I no longer have periods or the pain it's been 5yrs now and I've never looked back xx hugs to everyone.

@A MyFibroTeam Member. Love you name😍as far as periods go, back in the day I had cramps that completely circled my waist and squeezed hard. Heavy but 3 day flow. PMS symptoms were severe. Now, my daughter has severe PMS and used Vitex a plant extract and no more screaming at every little problem or me haha. Decreased cramps too. She would be bedridden for 2 to 3 days, with a hot water bottle, Vicodin and her teddy bear. Now, we go out and have fun.
I take Vitex for menopause and helps regulate hormones. Also, Valerian root kicks my anxiety to the curb Yahoo. Used to go into a severe panic attacks, crying and shaking.

Love, Peace, big hugs and happiness

I had a partial hysterectomy when I was 33. Oh my best decision I had ever made. I don't miss my little friend a bit!

The days when i had periods i would feel well one week in four if i was lucky, i had my two daughters in 1974 and 1976 . By my early 30s i had problems with fibroids so i was given a full hysterectomy. My body after that still even after all these years is governed with the ghost of a monthly cycle, when i got to the menopause i had to go through the hot sweats and feeling unwell. Went on hormone replacement tablets for a while, to control it. Wouldnt want to have done anything differently now though xx

I was going to put that question out there!I definitely have harder menstruals! And three days before my period my Fybro is way harder to control!
