gentlelynx3 said:Hey ladies, I’ve got a quick question for you all. So, my OB-GYN actually prescribed some evening primrose oil capsules yesterday because my period cramps are absolutely brutal and my PMS is just straight-up nightmare fuel... so I was wondering if anyone here has actually tried these capsules and what kind of results you saw? Thanks!🙂
Not sure if I'm checking in too late here... but honestly, I've messed around with those capsules before. Nightshade is seriously a total game changer for PMS; I only had like, maybe 5% of my usual symptoms when I was taking it, and man, what a relief! 😍
Honestly, nothing really works for my cramps unless I pair my meds with omega supplements—that combo was a total game changer for my PMS, kept everything regular, and actually shortened the whole cycle. But man, both types of pills are super heavy on the stomach and you have to take them several times a day, which isn't great since you can't just pop painkillers indefinitely without taking breaks every few months, plus the good stuff is pricey! If you can manage to watch your diet (just Google it, there are some great tips from Mayo Clinic online) and stay active enough to get a good sweat in twice a week, it definitely makes surviving those off-medication breaks a lot easier.
