I had appendicitis a few years ago, and I didn't think anything of it, I've had menstrual cramps that were more intense.

100%!!! I drove myself to the ER because while I somehow instinctively KNEW it was appendicitis, I’ve had period cramps that were way worse.

I literally thought mine was just bad IBD cramps for the first two days of it, then finally decided it was bad enough on the third day to just check.

I was about to rupture when they got me in for surgery.
