period pain, possibly endometritis

[mcpaula]

iv suffered with bad period pain since i was about 14 (10 yrs now), been to doc with it several times, always just gave me mefanamic pain killers and sent me home. im not on the pill at present as i keep forgetting to take it but it did help. i usually do be crippled over and crying from the pain, very nauseaus and sometimes throw up. i am now being sent for an ultrasound as a precaution, but it is unlikely (doc said). was wondering what else i could take for the pain and also how much do ultrasounds cost if i go public (living in Dublin). thanks for any help!
