here is what i posted on that other topic about period.
we don`t have to panic, first.

i know this from my persnal experience sincei had to deal with horrible stomachaches, pain in the legs, head ahces sometimes even vomiting.. and SHIVERING YES.. damn. i thank God it`s over ....

just something that helps the PAIN go away-
relax, relax and relax again!
when we react in suffering to the pain we make it all worse. when we stay relaxed and don`t tense up and don`t change our body position (laying on your back is best, at least for me) then we can start feeling better.

i do it like that: i imagine that some1 takes my leg and drops it and it drops drops drops and it`s so luse and so with al the other part of the body-untill you imagine all your body is so loose it`s can be pulled and thrown abd nothing happenes to it.
after a while of practicieng relaxation when having this pain i started feeling warm energy going from my hands to my all body adn had noce images on my mind. i don`t say the pain goes aways imidiatly but gradually. adn every time you do it it becomes better.

"dong qua"i is a good thing that you start taking a week b4 the period is supposed to start. adn then take it on all the period 1 a day. and all the painkillers.. i guess you know..
like "adex forte."
