What do you do to cope with the "side effects" of your period?
I had to go off birth control pills about a year ago because it magically started jacking with my blood pressure. (I don't smoke.) At this point I'm not sure I ever want to go back on the pill.
Problem is when I originally went on the pill years ago it was to help with the fatigue, cramps and muscle/back aches I was getting. (Fatigue bad enough to have 1 class and then go home and go to bed instead of going to work.)
I'm sitting in class wishing I could go home cause I feel like I've been hit by a truck.
I took midol - which works about 75% of the time. Today it's not helping at all. (Luckly I have no headache - yet.)
So, I'm looking for suggestions, PLEASE!
Go ahead and include any herbal remedies as well. Thank you ahead of time.
