Periods Should Knot Be Painful

As a woman, I have lost count of the numbers of times that I have been told that the pain I am feeling in my pelvic region is normal.  I “became a woman,” at the tender age of 11, since then,  I have been in what seems like an ongoing battle with my Reproductive System. Around the age of 22, when I was old enough to advocate for myself and knew how to articulate to doctors and family, the fact that my period disappearing for months and months at a time was NOT normal, I began this journey. I have had more doctors that I can count, multiple surgical procedures, injections, implants, medications, and therapies, all in the hope of  conquering or controlling this invisible enemy that has invaded my body.

At the age of 23, I was diagnosed with PCOS which explained why I wasn’t getting pregnant. When I say I was having A LOT of sex, please understand that I mean Nympho status. Yet, I didn’t have an orgasm until I was 27, but I digress.  While I was not trying to get pregnant, I wasn’t doing ANYTHING to prevent it either.  I wasn’t ignorant to the fact that I should’ve gotten pregnant at least once.  Around my 25th birthday, I began to experience some pain. The pain felt like menstrual cramps but it soon morphed into tremendous pressure and that began two years of probing, humiliating exams, and more needles that I can stand, eventually I was diagnosed with Endometriosis.  In recent years, the last 5 to be exact, I have been diagnosed with Fibroids, Interstitial Cystitis, Chronic Pelvic Pain, and Adenomyosis.

As Langston Hughes so eloquently stated, life ain’t been no crystal stair. However, of all the devastation and heartbreak that has come with this journey, one of my greatest accomplishments, PSKBP was born of this anguish and confusion. Periods Should Knot Be Painful was birthed from my desire to understand and make sense of this life that I live. I suffered at the hands of many insensitive doctors, have been judged by people because I don’t look sick,  and been abandoned by friends. I know the suffering that comes with living this life!  If I can make this journey a little better for one woman and provide an abundance of support, education, empowerment, and love  while doing it, then my labor will have not been in vain. I know that there is Purpose in Pain and Triumph in Tragedy and I intend to prove it to as many women as I can.
