I am 46 years old and have always had a lot of menstrual cramps & pretty severe back ache with my monthly cycle. I recently started skipping a period, had a low flow for 20 days straight & had very little cramping or back ache. My dr said I was beginning menopause. But then the last two months have been extreme with the cramps, back ache, pressure & diarrhea. After experiencing a couple of months of hardly any pain, I m beginning to think I ve been having some pretty extreme symptoms all these years but didn t really realize it. I assumed most women were going through what I was going through. I need some relief. Is there a prescription that can help? Thank you.
