I'm 20. My period started when I was 12.

lol I was actually hoping for this answer so I could finally find a boyfriend 😁

@stormymaker24/">@@stormymaker24 I haven't tried any of those. My doctor just tells me to take Advil, but people seem to eat them like candy, so they don't really do much for me

Every month when my period hits, it honestly feels like I'm dying. The first couple of days are the absolute worst; I can't even get out of bed, and I end up throwing up five or six times a day. I can't keep any food down at all. Last time, I actually ended up passing out and needing the ER. I’m lost. I’ve tried every painkiller under the sun—Advil, Aleve, Motrin—but nothing touches the pain. My neighbor happens to be a nurse, so she sometimes stops by to give me an injection to help, which provides a little relief, but she says she can't do it all the time because it’s too hard on my system. It used to be manageable back when I was seeing someone regularly, but now it’s become unbearable. I can't even make it to my college lectures because of the pain. My doctor just tells me this is "normal" and that most women deal with some discomfort, but I really feel like I'm in a much worse category than most.
Does anyone know if there are specific teas, different medications, or maybe certain therapies that could actually help ease this misery? 😢
