Randi
I had severe menstrual cramping for 15 years. Finally found a doctor who diagnosed me with endometriosis. A progressive disease of the uterine lining. I used to get very sick and even the painkiller dilaudid didn't help. Look it up on the inernet and see if some of the symptoms match yours. I eventually had to have my ovaries shut down by Lupron depot, an injection. I feel so much better, can't even begin to explain.
