I'm spending a day a month crippled with pain. I've been using a combination of Nurofen Plus, Immodium (as an anti-spasmodic - very DIY of me) and hot water bottles, and ridiculous amounts of water to assist with the glamorous constipation part. It feels like a ruddy uphill battle sometimes though.
Has anyone had success with the American remedy Midol? I bought some cheap own-brand knockoff when I was in the US but typically enough I have started having pains before I can get home to try it.
I have a 23-day cycle so it just feels endless.
