Females only please...

Why do I feel like crap when I'm on my period? I always feel like I can't even get out of bed, including school days, but my mom doesn't let me stay home. Also, what should I do about cramps during the day, when I'm not home?

if you can get midol you should use that. if not, put a heating pad or a hot towel on you lower stomach for about an hour (reheat if necessary) also drink warm water if you can. water is key

What about during school though?

try to sit crouched over slightly might work. like i said carry a water bottle if necessary. maybe even excuse yourself to the bathroom to take a few more pain relievers?
