Man, this heatwave is absolutely brutal this year. I feel like I can't even step outside for five minutes without sweating through my shirt immediately. Are you guys seeing these 120F predictions for the southwest?
One of the ladies mentioned that evening primrose is absolutely phenomenal for dealing with PMS. For me, taking the capsules definitely helped with the bloating, and while my breasts felt more swollen, they didn't feel painful; most importantly, there were no mood swings at all. However, the actual pain once my period starts remains completely unbearable.🙂 And what’s even worse is that all these physical symptoms actually serve as my warning signs to take a pill in time, helping me avoid passing out and needing an emergency room visit—which is why I ultimately had to give up on the capsules altogether.
Here is a little tip for any girls struggling with bloating during their cycle: anise tea really helps, and you can pick some up at a local pharmacy for about two or three dollars.
My dear friends, I have been battling agonizing menstrual cramps for years now. I feel as though I have tried absolutely everything under the sun—at this point, I suppose the only thing left to do is give birth and see if that finally brings some relief.
On the first day, I typically take about six to eight 400mg ibuprofen tablets combined with Excedrin, and in extreme cases, I even resort to a Voltaren suppository. Nothing else seems to touch the pain. If I happen to delay that first dose even slightly, I end up losing consciousness, at which point my husband has to rush me to the emergency room. There, they administer a medicinal cocktail that provides relief for maybe three or four hours before the entire ordeal starts all over again. I have undergone numerous medical tests, and the diagnosis is always the same: you have a perfectly healthy uterus that simply suffers from intense contractions.
My sincere advice to you all is to stay warm, drink as much liquid as possible, and just try to endure it!
In the interest of sharing some culinary inspiration, I thought I would present a cake that I find absolutely delightful
