Mark your calendars

May 15, right on schedule. Bad time ramped up. Exasperated, no doubt, by the fact that I ate without taking a pill. Ate at 4:30pm. Took an hour nap after that and from then on 'til early in the morning, my stomach (entire mid-section) hurt so bad I couldn't move. It subsided when I laid still, but getting up and doing things made it feel like someone took me by the shoulders and hips and just twisted with all their might, like a dishcloth being wrung out with force. The timing of these things over the past six months makes me think the flare ups are connected to my cycle.
