Just as you guy were talking about the period I just happened to get my period. Thanks alot guys lol. But anyway I realize that when I get it my sides/waist hurts alot and it get's that inward look.. literally my waist gets smaller and it hurts like a mother. My back hurts too so I feel like an old person with an ulcer lol. My breasts swell up by ALOT and usually that's normal like the chick said before but I don't swell up to hold nother size? And even weirder it hurts. Usually when I get it I'm just used to the stomach pains and headaches but that's it. But now I have these other things. My mom makes me take this powderey stuff to drink with milk or any other liquid called dolomite (think that's how you spell it) to ease the pain. And it works despite it tasting like ground chalk lol. But are these pains normal? Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks a bunch.

I found out that talking ibriprofen (sp?) every few hours two days before you even get your period helps alot.

I wish I knew that before growl lol

Try it. I couldn't believe the difference. Before I did I would be curled up in a ball on the coach from the pain for two days with a fever,throwing up. It was horrible.

You have to be careful with Ibuprofen/Motrin. It can cause stomache problems ie. erosions, ulcers if taken too often. I personally prefer Ibuprofen, but you should not take it every few hours. I believe it is recommended every 6-8 hours. So you should not be taking it like every 2-4 hours or something.
Also, I hear Midol works well. I do not care for it myself becuase it gives me a headache. But everyone is different.

In reply to: It is recommended every 6-8 hours. Thats what I meant...sorry I should have specified.
