Get evaluated: If you are anemic, not wanting pregnancy with severe menstrual cramping you may benefit from uterine ablation. Go see a local Gynecologist who offers uterine ablation and get evaluated. Take family or friend with you, be well.

Really severe may: not be normal. NSAID’s, SSRI’s, hormone meds, OTC meds containing diuretics, warm bath, heating pad, exercise & acupuncture are excellent for PMS / period. Avoid caffeine, chocolate, alcohol & salt. Get GYN eval to R/O underlying pathology. Consider omega- 3 fatty acids, magnesium (supplementation or through diet) or Black Cohosh with dr ok. Sipping Chamomile can V pain.
