Dealing with bad cramps?
in Women's Health ·
Hi there. I've joined the conversation too.
For fifteen years, I struggled with painful periods; I even had to get monthly injections just to cope 🙂 but over the last year, things have finally settled down, though I'm not sure why. 🤷 I was drinking angelica tea that my mom prepared for my bleeding, taking vitamins, and trying some homeopathy—now, I honestly can't tell which one actually worked. 😍 Regardless, I still take about six Advil during those first two days. My cycle has shortened from eight days down to six or seven. It’s better than before, but for those first forty-eight hours, I am completely helpless; my period dictates everything I can or cannot do. 🙂 My ovaries have always been fine, and there's no medical reason for this pain, so I'm waiting on hormone test results now. Perhaps there is a connection there. 😛
