The agony of being a woman...

I know, at the risk of sounding like a whinny, inappreciative bitch (a.k.a. Carrie Bradshaw) which my sister already thinks that I've become, I still have to whine this one last bit (for now anyway).

Suffering from the worse ever monthly cycle pain of my life, I realise for the first time that maybe there really are a lot of things wrong with my body and they just might not go away quietly or pretend they don't exist. After 3 days of pain, I finally found a Chinese herbal doctor who actually came up with the right formular to ease the pain for a few good hours. Going back to see him again tomorrow but for now, the pain is back again. I am resisting the temptaion to drug myself crazy with painkillers as it really doesn't cure anything, but it had better go away soon as it's really dragging me down a lot. I really don't remember when was the last time I was in so much pain that I cried all night. It really drains my energy and make me realise how crappy I am :(

On the other hand, I'm am extremely grateful that I have a great mother and a super lovely sister who helped massaged me to help ease my pain. My sister even took the couch after I moved back in to the room due to the extreme pain :) So from now on, I really hope I will do better at taking care of my body and stuff. I really don't want this to happen again in another 4 weeks. It's tormenting.
