My cycle has been debilitating for years and some of the symptoms are migraines, severe nausea, extreme pain, and just overall feeling terrible. Only thing that has helped was hormonal birth control to skip periods, which gave me tumors so I can no longer take it. So now at 31, it’s either try and get a hysterectomy approved (after 2 major abdominal procedures in 2 years - liver resection + c section) or just live with the fact that I have at minimum 1 week a month where I can barely function.
