Ovaries are DUMB

Today was SUPPOSED to be the day where I had a lot of free time to update the blog for real and go to the Co-Op store and clean up my apartment. BUT NO. My ovaries decided to explode.

Mom, remember that one day I was in school and you had to come pick me up because I was crying my abdomen hurt so bad? And it hurt to sit down, or even wipe myself, anything with that "underside" of my bottom. Well that happens a few times a year. I just kinda deal with it, even though it is the most pain I have ever felt in my life :) I used to think it was like IBS or some sort of other bowel problem or maybe once in a while I pinched a nerve or whatever. Usually poop accompanied it, but it wasn't really the cause, I just happened to find it comfortable to sit on a toilet because it wasn't putting pressure on my bottom the way sitting in a chair would, and I was able to double over. Also the stress of it all gave me stress poo as I like to call it. Sometimes these episodes will last a half hour, sometimes 2 hours. And it's always sore for a while after that, just not as excruciating.

Well I think I might have figured out what it is! I THINK I have polycysitc ovaries and my gynos have thought that for quite a few years now. The thing is you can't really do much about it. Just make sure you have your period often enough via birth control so you don't get endometriosis. I don't get periods on my own, my eggs just dont' know how to pop out on their own, so instead they sit there on the ovary and grow until they become a certain size and is labeled as a cyst. They don't really pose any harm, they just kinda are there and they usually go away. Sometimes you'll get a super big one or one that doesn't go away which can be surgically removed but it's not a big deal if you don't get rid of them. Anyway, apparently every now and then one of those babies can RUPTURE!!!!!! And you get INTENSE sharp and sudden pain at the ovary site. Every time this happens it is on my right side, below my belly button, to the right basically, exactly where my ovary should be. And it sounds exactly like what I experience. Sometimes they're fluid filled and other times blood filled. Obviously I don't know which mine are. The fluid spills all over and it's super painful.

So that happened today. I was at the HUB (student union building) looking up volunteer stuff at this community fair they had going and all of a sudden I basically wanted to die and I felt dizzy from the pain. So I went to the bathroom for a half hourish. After the initial SUPER intense pain went down I walked home, counting in my head to keep my mind off the pain, just something I do sometimes when I want to be distracted. I immediately took some drugs and crawled into bed. I rested all damn day because it just kept hurting. Not nearly as intense of course, thank god. By 7 I was feeling sore but a lot better so I went to walmart for groceries and the like (and posted about walmart) and now I'm back.

One more thing, when I was at Walmart, my TRUNK WOULD NOT CLOSE. This happened a few months ago and my dad adn I got a whole new latch for the damn thing and now it is broken AGAIN. I had to tie it down with a plastic bag!!!!!!! I had all reusable bags except for ONE plastic so I ripped it apart and used it. UGH. So now I have to get that crap fixed.
