CURES TRIED
+ drink a soaked overcooked corn rice just like tea leaves
+ drink a can of beer a few days before the period
+ take vitamins and supplements
+ boil malunggay seeds: drink the boiled water with the extracts and take the seeds just like taking a pill
These are some of the things I've tried to ease the pain but unfortunately none of them helps.
INHERITED?
My mom told me that she also experienced this kind of pain when her menstration comes before she had children. After she gave birth to me (btw, I’m the eldest) she didn’t experienced it anymore. I'm not sure if its inherited from the blood or something but yeah this could add to the many reasons to look forward to when I gave birth to my first child/children (ahaha!).
MY EXPERIENCED
One time, it was so bad that I had to bend on my knees on the floor and came face to face with the toilet bowl to vomit. Another is when I was travelling on the train on my way home to take rest, the giddiness I felt was gradually increasing such that I can't help but throw up. I immediately alighted at the nearest train station but felt so weak to make it to the toilet that I decided to used my bag to throw up else I'd be fined (yeah, I know it was gross).
THE BEST CURE
From that time on I've decided to make exercise as part of my life not just to eschew the pain during menstruation but also to keep myself healthy.
