Generic Period Blog @periodds - Tumblr Blog

I have not been diagnosed with a chronic illness but I always feel validated when reading about people’s experiences. I will not self diagnose but I relate to a lot of the stories that I hear. How did you start your diagnosis journey, and how is life for you now?

#chronic illness #I’m so tired all the time #and sometimes my body just hurts #tags #birth control #periods #spoonie

New news from the doctor. Turns out my left ovary is twice the size of my right ovary and has three cysts on it. Turns out I’ll need surgery on it

#just documenting #i admit im scared for surgery #but its fine #ovarian cysts

soo slight update. I went to the gyno today and along with vulvodynia and vaginismus, it’s very likely that I also have endometriosis as well. They’re gonna put me on birth control (my first time on it) so we’ll see how that goes. Hopefully it helps because I don’t want to waste another day lying in bed all day to intense pain. So there’s that

Yeah this is mostly just a period blog and a place for me to vent, but I was recently diagnosed with vulvodynia and this tumblr community makes me feel Seen and Understood. I’ll keep posting period content but I think I’m also gonna start posting about vulvodynia as well

#vulvodynia #im in so much pain

Scrolling through the ‘vulvodynia’ tag is wild because half the posts are about the actual pelvic floor condition, and the other half is a heavy metal band of the same name

#vulvodynia #periods #not the band

some days (like today) I want to rip my uterus out I hate periods and cramps I’m so miserable oh my god

#periods #menstruation #i feel awful

oh my god I just woke up on my period and I am in the worst pain ever. why does having a period suck so bad

#im in so much pain #i feel bad enough to cancel an appointment that i had scheduled #im so miserable goddamn

“Menstruation is the only blood / that is tied to creation but you / prefer the kind that is tied to death / because the red dripping from a / man’s head is strength but the red / dripping between a woman’s thighs / is filth even though that is the only kind / that brings life.

But boy, remember that / those red waves are / how you have air in / your lungs to state that / the red of our bodies / doesn’t belong.”
