My Story

Hi, I am 43 years old and have had heavy, painful periods for 25 years. My periods last 7 days and are extremely painful. I dont take the pill or any prescribed medication for it except over-the-counter anti-inflammatories. I changed my diet avoiding all sugar, red meat, and rich spicy foods, while I am ovulating. It helps a lot and I stick to fish, plain rice, plain potatoes, and salads. Even though I still experience pain and bloating, anxiety, and sleeplessness.
