I've gone to acupuncture 4 times now, once a week. For my period this
time, I still had bloating, some back pain and couldn't sleep a couple
of nights prior to the 1st day of my period. However, my cramps were a
2 on a scale of 1 - 10! Since I was 12 years old, I've had horrible
cramps every month. This is the first time in my life that I didn't
have any unbareable pain! You guys should give acupuncture a try!
