Little backstory. I recently had a grapefruit size cyst rupture, infect me leaving me septic and dying so of course I had to have surgery. Before my periods weren't terrible even with the cyst but a few months after the surgery when I finally got my period it was THE worst pain ever. I puked, had extreme contractions and cramping. My sister told me that vitamin E pills helped her with period symptoms. One pill a day either a week or 2 before your period (or just take one everyday). My period started just now and I have no cramps no puking and virtually no symptoms other than fatigue! Just sharing to save some women pain! Hopefully it helps I had no idea!
