Period Pain - May 11th 2012, 04:03 PM
Hey,

I was wondering how other girls/women weather the difficulties/pain surrounding your menstrual cycles?

Personally, I've had a very tough time with periods since my early teenage years, and was recently diagnosed with POS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome).

I've also tried the pill to help, which gave me periods every 2 weeks which I didn't want to deal with, and been put Mephenamic Acid initially, to lighten them, but was allergic so switched to Tranexamic Acid, which helped quite a bit, but need to use it more often! Been on one called No-Spa, too (Foreign name, perhaps).

Generally need max strength Ibuprofen (400mg x 3 during the day), Codipar or Co-Dydramol to weather to abdominal/ovarian pain/headaches/backaches/thighaches etc!

PMS and period-related mood swings are also crap!

Anyone else?

Please share your experiences
