My periods have always been super heavy and painful. Lately feels like they get worse cause I lay in bed cramping like today I think it's coming soon but ugh I feel absolutely horrible already cause I know I'll be in so much pain later. Is there anything anyone does who lessens the pain I try and take midol sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. I even got on birth control to try and lighten it and stop the cramps from being terrible, but they still are horrible and heavy. I would like to hear maybe natural remedies anyone uses because not looking forward to my period..
