A member asked:
I lose consciousness for 30 min on day 2 of my period and wake up with severe cramps. i've tried iron rich diets & avoiding cold drinks. nothing works?

Pain: I recommend you take aleve (naproxen) prior to your period - say the day before it starts to prevent you from having such a strong reaction to the cramps. If this does not help please see your gynecologist for further help! I am sorry to hear this as it is likely frightening, and a sort of handicap.
