And I keep telling myself I can make it. But the pain is so bad & I still have about 6 days till it comes. The Dr said I could only have tylenol. How am I gonna make it on just tylenol? Sorry, just have to have a good cry.

Boy do I feel your pain...
Me, too....
Mine is due Monday, and the cramps/emotions are unbearable. I am thinking of it this way, though...It is the very last time!
Bye Bye to Auntie Flo, the miserable witch that has mad my life a living hell on earth for the past 10+ years! Pack your bags and get out! After this month, you are not welcome anymore! Well, you were never really 'welcome' in the first place! I've just bought you a one way ticket to Nowheresville.
Okay, I'm done ...sorry...I've been in a strange mood lately!!
Toodles, only Tylenol? Not Motrin? Or Midol/Pamprin? I can't imagine it?
if you can't, then maybe you can take more than 2. Instead of and RX for 800 mg Motrin, my DR usually tells me to take 4 OTC instead. Ooh...call him back, please? There has to be an option.
I hope you feel better soon!!!!!!

I'm so sorry for your pain. I know how you feel. My doctor is wonderful, though, and he gives me Vicodan for my pain. I go in May 10th to discuss the exact date for my surgery, and I can't wait. I have my last period right now, and I am so glad that it is almost over for me. We are going to try for the last week of May. Hang in there. I never thought at 31 that I would be doing this, but I am so lucky to have all of you to talk to. Take care, and keep your chin up. You'll have your crown soon.

Oh, good luck, sweetie. I just finished my last 14 day period....if AF doesn't decide to rear her ugly head again before Tuesday. She's been known to do that in the past. Hopefully this one will be an easy one for you. You're on your way.
Jenny, 32
I'll be a princess in 5 days!

Thanks ladies, it's so nice to be able to come here for advice & hugs from people who understand. I've put a call into the dr about pain meds...just waiting for a callback.
DebbieDoodles-your post had me laughing about aunt flo not being welcome, seems we must have opened the door wide to her.

we share the same surg. date
Madilyn,
Just wanted to send you a big and let you know I am going in on the same day as you.
Just think the pain is almost over, it's less than 2 wks away now!
I can't stop looking at my huge box of Super + tampons and trying to imagine my life without them. I have literally planned every event in my life around this bi**^ and I can't wait until she's gone for good!
My kids will be getting their mother back...the one that's not lying on the sofa doubled over in pain, or running to the bathroom to change her pants for the 3rd time in a day!!!!! I will be able to go more than a mile from home without having to worry I'll be out too long to go home and change my tam./pad.
Keep looking forward and thinking about the positives.
I can't even believe I got teary-eyed today thinking about losing my uterus.....for a very brief moment until the next round of cramping came along.
I am here if you need to talk. I know every day that gets closer is going to be harder...emotionally I am all over the place.
YOU CAN GET THROUGH THIS NEXT TEN DAYS! YOU CAN! Think how many times you've gone through this already.

Toodles--
Becareful using Motrin/Advil/Aleve, etc--they are blood thinners which most are halted at least 7 days prior to surgery. I know that is tough--they were a staple with me. I would take a presribed narcotic with the Aleve as a combination pain relief. I do wish you the best as your date approaches. Heating pads/Thermacares used to be my best belly buddies--take care!!!

Thanks ladies! The nurse clld bck about meds. Says I can take pamprin but would need to be stopped a few days b4 surg. No ibuprofin. Not willing to call in a presc., I explnd that my pain is so severe that I have to practically od on pamprin & ibu to get any kind of relief. She's like "Thats not good to do", well, yeah, but I'm gonna do whatever it takes to ease the pain even alittle bit. I think I'm gonna call back today & ask to spk w/ Dr since the nurse is reluctant to prescribe meds.
fheather-isn't that the truth about not wanting to get too far from home. I plan on having a bonfire with mine!!

The more I see that everyone has problems getting pain relief, the more I love my Dr. Unfortunately, I have already taken 2 vicodan in the last 5 hours, and I am hurting so bad I may have to go home. 3 More Weeks!
