I'm sorry! I have pain on and off, but its def worse during my period. I
hate taking pain meds and won't take unless I'm in tears and literally
can't stand it. I too hate taking NSAIDs. I have acid reflux and
stomach issues. I changed my diet big time a few months back and I'm
more healthy now than I have been, but I still have pelvic pain/endo
troubles.
Your def not alone! You'll be in my thoughts and prayers!
