Period cramps

Jasmine • Tue, Jan 29 • Just getting through the day as best as I can.

I am 17 years old; every month that I’m on my period, the cramps get worse. I miss school because they’re so bad and I can barely get out of bed. I’ve tried ibuprofen, I took two pills and it only lasted maybe 30 minutes. I’ve tried a heating pad but that’s not really helping either. I can’t lay down because it’s too uncomfortable and the pain is so bad. I don’t know what to do anymore.
