painful menstruation

[Guest guest]

Hi, did any of the female members in this forum have changes in their menstrual

cycles in terms of more pain when they got the disease? I have painful periods

sometimes and do not know what to do. It was not like that before I was

diagnosed with Chron's and UC.

Thanks!

Mine is worse with the UC only because it means I have mini flares every 28

days. It's extraordinarily frustrating because it feels like the diet just

doesn't work at the time of the month (even if I'm only intro, symptoms are just

as bad). There's one feeling in particular where it feels like a razor blade is

being dragged slowly through my colon. But yes...I get feverish, nauseated,

slightly faint, in pain and my UC symptoms flare up to top it off. One month I

ate ONLY fruit, cheese and peanuts (it was all my body was craving) for several

days before it started and it was significantly better.

Mine is very irregular. Last month it was only 17 days apart and I usually have

pain symptoms a couple days before. I do have to say that my cycles are shorter

and less severe after this long on SCD. They've slowly gotten this way over the

last 2 and a half years.
