I am having the most horrible period cramps. Ibuprofen and prescription pain killers didn't help. Lying still and straight didn't help. Lying in a tight ball didn't help. Going for walk - doubled over 3 times. Didn't help.
No hot water bottles or similar as it is 35 deg C in the shade. Cool shower - nope - didn't help.
Now I am having a glass of wine and burning some candles.

Feeling sorry for myself.
