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.)

WE NEED LITERATURE YES. Someone posted a comment on someone else's DW once about how a doctor told them once that "if you have cramps that are not able to be controlled by OTC painkillers (at OTC doses), there is something else going on". The gist of the comment has stuck in my head, as someone who has horrendous cramps every 24 days. And too much bleeding. And basically screws everything up for one week out of every four.

So, yeah, want, and wtf.
