Wherein I reveal how my body hates me, and the incriminating evidence of pasta sauce.

Maybe you should go to a girl doc and see if it's endometriosis. It's the most common cause of massive pain and cramps associated w/ periods. http://www.endometriosisassn.org/

I went through the same thing for years, taking a day off each month from work or school because of excruciating pain, so I know exactly what you're going through. Diet change may help too, increased calcium intake can make a huge difference.

I keep meaning to set up an appointment with a gyno .... but I suppose it has been subconcious aversion - I really hate those exams!

My mom's excruciating pain was due to ovarian cysts I think -- which only stopped when she had me (of course, that coincided with menopause at 42, but...). Definitely get checked. The discomfort of the exam is NOTHING compared to what you are describing!!!
