Girls any tips for severe periods. I already take 2 of the strongest pain pills on the market. Even more tips for standing and being outside as well

Have you worked with a gynecologist to find the cause? That can open up more options for specific treatments. And of course there’s always birth control to stop periods entirely.

do you know what bc you were on? different meds affect people differently and a different kind of bc might work, it was the only thing that worked for me. that said if you dont wanna do bc (which is totally fair), aleve is the best painkiller for periods, advil is good too, and tylenol isn’t good for cramps at all. if you have to stand try pacing or moving around a bit!

No. I am scheduling my first appointment on Monday. I rlly don’t wanna do birth control - I’ve tried made it worse and it was the pill and I don’t wanna do the arm one or an iud.
