Patient ID: Sex:female Age: 24

Please answer the following questions in a descriptive manner after careful analysis and recollection of previous experiences and happenings.

1. Describe your main suffering?
Menstrual cramps, and after the last menstrual period bleeding stopped, I felt twinges of pain(pain was very mild.On a scale from one to ten I'd give it a 1).Pain after menstrual period is not constant, and felt as if it was in ovary area. Right side more affected than left.
Menstrual cramping sometimes starts a day or two before period.

Menstrual cramps are worst on day two of menstrual bleeding. On day 3 or 4 of menstrual bleeding, I always pass a small clot, which is painful but once it is done, pain goes away after about 30 minutes.

Heat on my buttocks and lower back tend to help.Heat on my lower abdomen helps but not as well as the back.



2. What other physical sufferings do you have in your body?
I tend to get itchy with exercise and have a couple of very minor/small hives when I exercise. Not very noticeable but uncomfortable. Goes away after I cool down.

I also get gastrointestinal upset when I get period cramps.I tend to get nauseated/vomit and have to have a bowel movement(not diarrhea). I do not always vomit, but I lose my appetite and feel a high degree of nausea. In the past year I have developed more PMS symptoms(breast tenderness,irritability,tense, fatigue before period)


3. What mental sufferings / feelings do you have associated with your physical sufferings?
Sadness and worry.

4. What exactly do you feel when you are at your worst?
I feel weepy,lost, and hopeless.Like something is wrong with me.I desire to be free and happy like a young girl/woman.


5. When did it all start? Can you connect it to any past event or disease?
I have always had crampy periods since day 1. Period has gotten more severe with recent stress of pass three years.



6. Which time of the day you are worst?

On day 2 of period the cramps can start during sleep,or any time of day.Depends on when I first start bleeding.I think my cramps are the worst early morning(3am-10am).

7. What are the things which aggravate your suffering and which are those which ameliorate the same?
I suspect physical and emotional stress/worry aggravate my suffering.



8. Do your think your sufferings have relation to any external stimuli (like, change of place) or any internal biological changes in the body, like, menses (in females)?
Menses are definitely my main issue. They have been troublesome since high school, then moving to college, and from finishing college to moving back home. Sometimes I wonder if me being nervous/emotionally sensitive causes all my physical problems.


9. When do you feel better, during hot weather or cold weather, humid or dry weather?
I like both hot and cold weather.I live in a very hot and very humid climate in the deep south, USA so I don't get to experience much snow. I feel pleasant in cold and warm weather when dressed properly. I tend to get cold very easily, but humidity can feel uncomfortable to me when I can't get good air circulating in the house.

Nervous was never bad enough to restrict my life.I feel like I've been irritable off and on in life, but was able to hide it.I feel like I have always had a very emotional inner life, but on the outside I hold it back. As of the past 5 months, Irritability,stress,anxiety,moodiness have been very high,and it is becoming harder to sleep.Job situation became too stressful.
