It used to only really cause her pain during her period, but this past
time, she was crying from pain a week after her period ended. They had
also prescribed the 800 mg motrin, but they don't help with the pain
either. This is the same way it began happening with me, irregular
heavy periods, sharp pains, (except I didn't keep vomiting), which all
just gradually increased to where it happened more than just on my
periods and they recently found both adeno and endo, which was
everywhere...so I'm scared that could be what she's experiencing also. I
appreciate everyone's responses, you've all been really great!
