my cycle started three days ago, (today is day three.) i usually have cramps on the first day, and then however long, the rest of the days are fine. which was the case until today. i was doing homework, feeling great, and then i suddenly had severe cramps. they were a little different than the cramps i normally get during my period, a little higher up, but they definitely started wherever my uterus is. i got up, took some advil and tried to walk them off. they kept getting worse, i had heat running up my arms, and i was getting dizzy and stumbling and my vision was getting blurred. i was fairly certain i was going to faint. i knocked on my classmates doors and finally one woman came out. she had me lie on the floor, and got a hot towel for my abdomen. we walked to the couch together but no position alleviated the pain in any way. finally i fell asleep for three hours. the advil had kicked in, and i didn't feel any pain, but i could still feel the cramps. i felt them all night, and now this morning, but they don't really hurt at all.
i didn't eat anything differently than normal, nor was anything out of date that i ate. i'm fairly positive i'm not pregnant. 99.9% sure. someone suggested ovarian cysts, and another uterine fibroids. we'll have to wait until i can go to the doctor up in fairbanks this fall.
any thoughts?
