Thanks Amy, you are alot of help and I think I will try the ThermaCare
Menstrual patches. I dont know why I havent before because my mom uses
them but I guess I didnt think about it. I just hate taking so much
advil all the time. I have to take 3-4 up to 3 times a day on my period
otherwise I cant go anywhere because I bleed to much and the pain is
horrible. But when Im not on my period I dont like to take it because
its not good for you so I just try to deal with the pain, but I will try
the heating patches. Thanks for the help.
