Hollie, I have a teenage daughter your age. She suffers from cramps with her period in a very abnormal way. Besides excess pain, there are bouts of explosive diareaha, vomiting and a host of other problems. I don't think she's a wimp or making it up. We went to the doctor's and she was put on birth control pills and it has been a life saver. She's luckier than us. Bring your parents to this web site and let them read for themselves our accounts of our trials. It could very well help convince them of the authenticity of your dilemma. I am 48 and would be happy to be contacted by your folks via email, anytime. I am posted on the where are we site in Portland, OR. Good Luck and best wishes.
