Ladies, do you have horrible cramps during your period? I got tired of popping 3 Motrin at a time and being in bed for 2 days out of every month, so I took to looking for other methods of pain relief. Here's what I found:
Increase your water intake. Yes, I know this seems to be my "cure" for everything, but really, it works. Water is your friend, people.
Be more active. When I'm in the gym faithfully at least 3 days per week, I can hardly feel my cramps when they come.
Primrose Oil. Some women swear by this supplement, found in Whole Foods or Mrs. Green's. I personally didn't find this effective, but I'm not too good at taking supplements. I always forget.
Medical Birth Control. This works, but to me, it isn't worth the trouble or side effects. I was virtually cramp-free at the cost of depression, lethargy and a myriad of other symptoms.
Hope this helps!
