Take so many herbs that I can't see straight. LOl. Kidding. But that is what I do. I have endometriosis, so I'd have extremely debilitating pain during my cycles (even after meds and surgery) so these days I make sure to take aloe (internally, straight from my plant) and I also take wheatgrass, forskholii and BC powder for the migraines that come along with my cycles. I sure noticed a difference after the aloe and wheatgrass. I try to drink a glass of acai juice around my periods, but it's tough because I can't drink much without it upsetting my stomach (the acidity or something in all juice kind of makes my stomach crappy.) It's all helpful stuff though.

I also try to eat the best I can, but during my cycles I go freaking crazy! I crave everything, and usually just let myself have it.

What's helped the most is aloe though. I can do nothing and take one small chunk the first day of my period and be a new person the rest of the week. That stuff has been nothing less than a God-send for me.

Or hell, a bottle of jack never hurt anyone. No...actually i'm pretty sure Jack has hurt plenty of people. I take that comment back. Do you smoke weed? try that. You know if your 13 and have a Nirvana t-shirt.

See, orgasm just makes me cramp worse. :-( It does, however, shorten my period a bit.

It's funny you say that. I often get a "dry spell" towards the end of my period when it seems like I'm done, but I'm not. Masturbating gets the flow going again for me.
