      i used to have bad cramp too on the first and second day.

      i find that exercise and stretching does help
      Yoga (Yin) also helps, after practising for 6 months, i find that my periods are more regular and less painful

          My doctor prescribed me Ponstan when I was a teenager. I asked her whether there would be any side effect or addiction to painkiller? She said since only took 1 tablet once a month, no problem la.


          Stay away from cold drinks & ice cream even when not having period.

            Taking rainbow light multivitamin, fish oil and black currant seed oil helps for me. Sometimes I take 2 capsules of fish oil a few days before AF.

              I try not to take anything cold especially 1 week before menses.
              if there is cramp or backache, I take paracetamol. sometimes, I do get migraines the day before menses or 1st 2 days...if migraine hits, then ponstan does help...but if taking ponstan, then have to take antacid.

                I am taking lots of water and walk to ease my menstrual cramp. My mom never advise me of taking pain killers as this might have caused damage to my liver.
                I am aware of that danger...but when I am bent into half in pain, I will take pain killer.
