Yes. I have a severe hormone condition called endometriosis which affects some women when periods start. I was severely ill for nine years, took four lots of medication for four years which has damaged my immune system to such a degree that I now have intolerances and allergies to many substances (including the pill), I regularly have to take high dosage painkillers before, during and after my period, my breasts hurt, sex hurts, the condition has affected my kidneys so they hurt and don't work properly, when I'm on my period I'm tired, nauseous, my abdomen swells so that I look six months pregnant, my bones soften, my teeth are more fragile, my eyesight worsens, I get bad headaches, hot and cold sweats, my flow is so heavy that for five days I live in the bathroom practically, I get anaemic and I've collapsed several times. Unless I have a hysterectomy (which I don't want as I'd like to have children) there is no cure, and I still take a lot of hormone suppressants to stop my periods when necessary. Oh, the joy of being a woman!!

Mine only lasts about 3-4 days, no cramping and very light bleeding so I'd have to say...no, my period doesn't suck too bad.

Sometimes mine is sucky. Mine usually lasts for 5 days and the first couple of days are heavy. But after that it's smooth sailing. To avoid cramps I'd suggest drinking plenty of water and exercising- those seem to make my stomach feel better.
