Does anyone have endo-period cramps that go away with medication?
I suspect that I have endo for a variety of reasons, the strongest one being insane debilitating menstrual cramps. I used to take ibuprofen for the first 10 years of having periods and it almost entirely made the pain go away. Sometimes it wouldn’t. But it usually did. I stopped taking ibuprofen because it gave me undesirable side effects and I wanted to be meds-free. The pain however is quite unbearable. I miss 1 day at work if not 2 every month because I literally can’t function as a human being. I think back to when I used meds and sometimes think I should try and use again for the pain but don’t really want to. Yet I know it helps. This has made me wonder: is it ”normal” for endo menstrual cramps to go away with meds? Or is the fact that meds almost always take my pain away a sign that I don’t have endo? Thanks for your help!
