I Hate My Period

This sweet tooth is making it hard for me to stay on my diet but everyone knows that sugar worsens menstrual cramps. No thank you! I should just snack on fruit, instead.

I luckily dont get cramps, cravings or mood swings.
I get heavy flow, diarrhea and nausea.

Not sure if lucky or not.

I only cramp on the second and third day, but that's after I reduced the amount of sugar I ate and started exercising. But if I mess it up, it's constant pain, diarrhea, and vomit for me :(

@goagainsttheflow: I get cramps on the first and third day. So weird. Taking a warm bath and drinking mint tea get rid of it usually. Mint anything really helps a lot for me. Maybe I'll try cutting out sugar! Since I became vegetarian it's been more regular.

@StreamofConsciousness: Yeah I found out mint works last time. I happened to have mint tea in my home when I read about its benefits and it worked like a charm!

Try getting some powdered calcium, preferably with vitamin D3, magnesium in it and take it in water with a teaspoon of plain full fat yogurt or a tiny dab of butter. It will knock out cramps and ease appetite.

=( My sisters were really bad for awhile. She was on Le Hormonal pill for awhile to reduce the cramping.
