Menstruation & sick days

I totally know where you're coming from Cloud. I have missed work as well as school when I was younger.
I've been on birth control since I was 13 because I've had so many problems. I'm now 23, and I am still on birth control because I still have problems. About 2 years ago I was diagnosed with PCOS, which explained those problems. I have most of the symptoms, but I haven't had an ultrasound to see if I actually have the cysts. It includes heavy flow, tons of pain, as well as being overweight and the possibility of infertility.
Over the past year, I've noticed that I'm bleeding for a straight 7 days (still on the pill!), and they are much more painful than they have ever been. I've always gotten migraines, but they are worsening as well.

Anyone else out there with this??
