Menstrual Monday
Posted on Monday, February 24, 2014

I have been nursing a terrrrrible case of dysmenorrhea today. No bueno! I got rid of my old birth control hence the new flow and it's a machine! [Sorry for the TMI.] Thank goodness for these home remedies, on the third day, it's mellowed quite a bit.

For you, just in case you face the same #girlprobs in the future:


1. 1c pineapple juice + 1/2c lemon juice to stimulate bleeding.

2. Iron supplements to restore blood in your body.

3. Muscle relaxers to help you move around. The backache and abdominal pains are no joke.

4. Warm water, instead of cold, to avoid bloating.

5. Water-based fruit may also help such as: watermelon, cucumber, and berries.

6. Avoid heavy carbs, alcohol, and carbonated beverages that would cause bloating.

7. No coffee, instead, drink some ginger tea.

8. And apply pressured heat on your lower abdomen and lower back to decrease pain (use a heating pad or towelette soaked in hot water).

Geez, and men say women have it so easy. Screw that. And this is a monthly ordeal for most of us! Granted we normally use this as as an excuse to act a certain way, it's still not a fair reason to be mean or bitchy to people around us. Exercise or any physical activity will help your release endorphins aka happy hormones. I know, I know, it can be uncomfortable working out while bleeding out of your vagina. But there's a bike you can sit on for 20 minutes. That should be enough to help you avoid being the cranky one in the office. :)
