The pain starts days before and lasts during the cycle.
O-M-G YES! I could not agree with you more! Hands down the worst of my symptoms are expereienced during my cycle. I don't even need those parts anymore, so it's like some CRUEL monthly joke.

Right on Pixie, no one knows your body or this disease the way you do. And even the disease in some ways is experienced differently for each of us, but all with common threads.

eevo - I have not had an SCS so I am affraid I cannot offer anything there. In fact, I fear that is the next decision I will be making relatively soon. <sigh> So sorry that you are struggling right now hon. Hang in there and if you are uncomfortable and continue to have this rash/bumps keep bugging the docs until you get a resolutoin. Perhaps go see your PCP. Best of luck with this!
