LADIES I just want to say that I have a nightmare of a period each month. I dread it. When I first start, I feel like I actually can’t get out of bed. HOWEVER. I recently found out about aleve. And let me tell you. It works like a charm!!! If you take 2 right when you start, your cramps go away. Take one again that night before you go to bed. If you take one every day after that, your period is 10X less worse than before. I’ve been doing it for 3 months now and my periods are lighter and last about 3 days now. If even. Let me know if it works for anyone else!!
