Paging Dr. LJ
If I were in the US right now, I would hit up my OBGYN, but since I am out of the country, I have to depend on google and LJ. I'm pretty sure they are more reliable than Egyptian doctors, anyway.
Girlie stuff:
I woke up this morning with a SUPER full bladder, so full it was painful. I ran and peed, then went back to bed and laid down. About five minutes later I started having the most awful cramps. They sort of felt like labor pain, I was nauseated, it hurt more when I moved, but still hurt like hell even when I didn't move. The cramps were confined to my pelvic girdle, but the pain radiated inside to the rectal and vaginal area. As I was laying there trying to take deep breaths, not throw up, and slow my racing heart, I started wondering if I could have an ectopic pregnancy or something. I had Abigail go grab my medicine bag and I took a 600mg ibuprofen and a vicodin, then just lay there on my side holding my belly and waiting for it to kick in. After about 30 minutes I started feeling better, though I'm not sure if it's because the cramping stopped or the codeine kicked in.
This has happened a few times in the past, but never for so long, and never so painful. I've had a pelvic ultrasound semi-recently (within the last 6 months) and I didn't have any cysts, adhesions, fibroids, etc. A couple years ago they thought I had interstitial cystitis, but I didn't think that IC could cause this severe of pain... I freaked Ahmed out pretty bad.
So, anyway. Thoughts?
