How do I comfort a teenage girl cramping immensely and aggravated?

She was diagnosed with dysmenorrhea 2 years ago. Normal over the counter painkillers are useless so I normally get monthly prescription drugs from the gyno. They help but usually takes a long time to provide relief. She has to miss school the first 3 days every month as she's unable to focus.

They have tested her for endometriosis and fibroids, all to no avail.

Sometimes, I feel so HELPLESS seeing my baby that way.

I'm so sorry to hear that. One of the things my mom taught me was never to stay hungry during those days. We tend to feel nauseated and hence prefer starving, but that will only make her periods painful and give her cramps.

Touchwood, I never had period cramps... although my flow used to be v heavy the first 3 of 5 days.
