I used to pop Midol like crazy when I was on my period because I get cramps, fatigue, and also food cravings, sooooooo badly! Now that I have not taken any type of drug since, well my last period, I don't want to do it again! What are some miracle natural cures for this? If I don't have something to kill then pain then I can't make it through the day.
Evening Primrose oil works wonders for pms. I use to be so snappy and very easily irritated. Taking EP I hardly even realize it's my time when its my time..lol.. But its also the way I take it. I take 5 capsules every morning and I'm done. Helps out with your skin too... But if you want to be pain free start taking 3 tablespoons of unrefined virgin coconut oil. EP is about 5 bucks a bottle if that. Uvco is about 11 bucks a jar but I think you'll reap more from it. My cycle is pain free now but I use to take 1600 mg of motrin twice a day for about three days during my cycle. Good Luck..V
So do you take both regularly? I actually just started taking extra virgin coconut oil a few weeks ago-I love it! I am definitely going to try out the Evening Primrose as well.
Ok guys, I haven't had a chance to make it to the store so I haven't been able to pick any of that stuff up, so I just took a pain killer, and now I feel horribly guilty. :( There is no way I can put up with this pain, though! And it's Sunday so the store isn't open.
Ah, don't worry about it! Guilt is bad for your health! =) And worrying doesn't accomplish anything but wasted time! You are trying and you care and that is all that matters!
You are right Kortni. I am actually proud of myself. I have come a LONG way in these past couple of months since I have been making life-style changes, and my health is doing so much better. I feel amazing.
Hey I can truly relate! I get extremely painful cramps when I get my period I feel like screaming! I was forever popping extra strength tylenol for the pain. Let me tell you what worked for me. I use magnets to relieve my pain. No joke! This really works! I've been using magnets for months now every time I get my period and the pain is gone without taking any kind of pain killers! It's amazing! Give it a try.
You know I used to get horrible cramps (to the point I stayed home from school every month) and would take ibprophen for it. Bad idea! At 16 I was helicoptered to the hospital with melon sized blood clots in my bladder and kidneys. They said it was from taking ibprophen. Never again! If I had only known then what I know now.
