No rest for the wicked.

I swear I never get a break with my cycle. I get my period, which is highly painful and i generally am on some strong pain relievers. Then after I have about a week to relax and be normal, the BAM! I have terrible middle pains. It's almost as bad as my period pains. Anyone else suffer with me? Any ideas on how to relieve the pains without medicine? I would like to limit my medication intake to just around my period 😭.

On top of that, riding horses has causes my joints to retain fluid in my knees and hips around my cycle so that's so fun.

Sorry ladies just needed to rant a bit.
