HATE THEM
Have you found anything that works to help?
@jesusredeemedme2425
I use ibuprofen, but it can only do so much. I am on birth control pills to help with the bad symptoms, but they only do so much. Any suggestions?
@purpleTree4652
I use Tylenol. Warm packs on your uterus area maybe? <3
@purpleTree4652 I go "strict vegetarian" 5days or a week before the-big-red ...when my body has less meats "cycling around" I take less ibuprofen
...only noticed I NEED to cut down after the meds destroyed liver (gain weight) to know taking meds 12 times each year (even just tiny doses) has creepingly destroyed ..going "meatless" the week before means no pain. Sometimes cutting down to "no milk(dairy), no meat" helps too...I know painkillers are marketed to be "safe" but no one talks about how it destroys liver (even in small dosage) so I hope u figure a way out! Being women is powerful even if we are "pushed down", dont be silenced, Rock on!
@serenekite52
I never knew cutting out meat might help... Thank you! <3
But wouldn't it make it so you have less iron in your body? I take iron supplements when I'm on my period to try to help the intensity.
@jesusredeemedme2425
yeah, im big on woofing down kelp, seaweed, red meat (beef) after "the-big-red" that is...like..replenishing
but prior, the week before (or days) I kinda "trick" the body ("see, no meat...nothing here...no pain please") it works
but of course (it may sound impossible) but a body may differ from another..so possibly works differently
@serenekite52
Kelp and seaweed have iron?
Also... Where would you buy kelp??? lol
@jesusredeemedme2425
strange...says here you commented in March but im JUST seeing the notification...in JULY
anyhoo Hun...supermarkets at the 'seafood' area...sometimes theyre selling kelp
Else...try Japanese corner? Not sure...so sorry! Cant help there.
Yes...google Iron and pile up on those after the menses, yup
G'luck !! < 3
Sorry to hear it, D...your time of the month, eh?
@slowdecline48
yes
D**n. Wish I had advice for ya...as a man, that problem is definitely outside my wheelhouse.
@slowdecline48
My boyfriend doesn't have personal experience in that area, but he made me make him a list of things I need/like on my period, like special comfort foods, pads, etc., so he knows how to take care of me <3 He's the sweetest!! <3
@slowdecline48
I'm feeling better tonight.
How are you feeling?
Somewhat better now, D... It's the escapism.
So much has been written about social media & its bad effects. Most of it is true...but every so often, binging on YT can do wondrous things.
@slowdecline48
I find 7Cups to be a great escape too ;)
@purpleTree4652 YT = acronym for YouRube. (7Cups will not allow the proper name of the media platform)
Also why is You Tube not allowed??? XD
@jesusredeemedme2425
It’s a preventative protective measure to make sure users remain anonymous; for instance, if there was a troll on cups wanting to expose a user’s socials, the measure would prevent the troll from being able to say “Hey everybody go check out this YT channel! Here’s their name. Now dislike all their videos!”
@purpleTree4652
I feel you…I’m expecting my period in a couple of days and PMS has been kicking me around like a soccer ball.
I often take fennel and fenugreek tea during my time of month, and it helps with the cramps somewhat. I like having them alongside cinnamon, ginger and honey cookies. 🍪🍵🫖
My period itself kicks me around like a soccer ball… lol! Dudes don’t know the struggle XD
@TheAutumnWitch
Autumn! It is so good to see you. I've missed you. How are you doing?
--tree
@purpleTree4652
I’ve missed you, too, tree! Apologies for dropping off the website for a while. I’m so glad I found you in the forums again. It’s comforting to see your username pop up. ♥️
I’ve been all right, thanks for asking! Just been going through a lot of things for my health. I’ve been having that trial-and-error with all sorts of medications, and I had a long-needed surgery back in April that I’m still recovering from before I jump into my next surgery in October (if all goes according to plan with my healing process).
How have you been? Sending love ♥️🍁🍂
You can use cumin seed water.
Would that be hard to swallow, with the seeds?
