I wish to register a complaint.

[baratron]

I am DEAD. Really. This is the letter I'm planning to send to my deity of choice:

Dear God,

I wish to register a complaint. This body you gave me is defective. I have spent the day mostly in bed, with gallstone pain, period pain and a cold, all at the same time. This shouldn't be allowed. I wish to claim a refund and/or a warranty replacement.

Thank you,
No love, h-l.

What do you think?

Blah. So, I have:

• a hot, achy gall bladder
  
• acid pain in my large intestine
  
• crampy spasmy uterus
  
• period so heavy I'm flooding through pads in a couple of hours
  
• wind. Lots of wind.
  
• a sore throat & cough
  
• itchy, watery, burny, bloodshot eyes
  
• not enough air in my lungs (I have, at least, taken more of my preventer inhaler so I can breathe mostly)
  
• excessively dry skin on my hands (no, that isn't a symptom of anything in particular, just the time of year)

It's especially bad because this period crept up on me from nowhere - my breasts only started hurting yesterday, so I figured my period wasn't due until the middle of next week. So I've been drinking orange juice right up till yesterday, and not been taking raspberry leaf because I didn't have any. Hence the utterly appalling uterine cramps that I usually manage to fend off by avoiding citrus fruit. Arrrghh.

/me makes a weak attempt at a joke

not enough air in my lungs

Obviously these two things are related....

Sorry - in the absence of anything useful, I defaulted to humour-as-defence-mechanism. Hopefully that wasn't the wrong thing to do.

what is it with this month? my breasts didn't even bother to hurt at all, so i was really surprised when i started spotting 2 days ago. which normally presages a period 3 or 4 days later, so why was it all heavy clots and agony yesterday?

I'll join you with the sporks. Thankfully I took Codeine and voltarol-slow-release and ibuprofen and paracetamol to wean down to while I am in Scotland as I wrenched my neck/shoulders the day before the trip.

I just have the going to the toilet every 30 mins and getting funny looks for sometimes going twice in 5 minutes from family ;)

Can you take any decent painkillers for this lot? Sounds like it could do with a hammering.

... and my period started the day after the last Pill of the pack, whereas usually, it takes four days. Strange.
