On the subject of chronic pain while female[-assigned].

My odds of getting prokopetz to see my reblog and cite their source(s) are approximately, given the 40K+ notes, nil. Thus, rather than waste my time shouting into the wind on Tumblr: is anyone familiar with the literature on adult menstrual cramps and related medical conditions? (kaberett? anyone else?) I really want to know where prokopetz's numbers come from.

(Bc my cramps suck and I'm 26. Mom's suck lots worse afaict, always have, and she's about to turn 58. Though I think if I tell her, backed up by literature (or anyway SWAGs that have the scientificness outweighing the wild-assery), that that one doctor she saw in her young adulthood was right for given values, she'll find him and shoot him whether he's still alive or not. He told her she was experiencing "schoolgirl cramps" that would go away on their own. They never did.)

There's a community on LJ which specifically aims to be: "an empowering and educational community about vaginas, vulvas, and sexual health". Maybe someone there might have useful info.

(I'm one of the mods there hence the shout-out to me! There's also a Dreamwidth-based iteration.

Alex, I see this post and am going to try to get my act together.)

Oh also my impression of the severity of Mom's cramps was false, she says. OTC meds solve them when she bothers taking them, she just likes complaining about having them in the first place.
