Guest guest Posted April 11, 2002 Report Share Posted April 11, 2002 << Carmen, is this combo reducing bloating and pain?? If so, what amounts and proportions are you taking? I'd really like to get off the naproxim sodium - the only drug I take (once or twice monthly) - because I just HATE menstrual pain! And I'm not a wimp, guys, like most women I have a fairly high threshold of pain, but menstrual pain really sucks!! Suze Fisher >> Hi Suze, I was having " menstrual " pain for about a week and a half before my period. My ovaries felt like they were burning up, also. I've been having leg cramps for years with my period. Just realized I didn't have that this time either. Yes, a definite reduction in pain. I did notice a little twinge a few days before, but hardly noticeable. My actual cycle was much easier. I needed much less ibuprofen. I've always had plenty of breast tenderness of varying degrees. It was painful just to bend over and pick something up. NO breast tenderness. I drink about a quart of raw milk per day, about 1 teaspoon of cod liver oil (from Radiant Life), three gel caps of evening primrose oil, and 3 gel caps of borage oil. Dr. Byrnes has a good article on the WAP site on menstrual stuff. I printed out the foods that are helpful and am trying to add them in as much as possible. Like I said, I hope the improvement continues and hope you feel better too Carmen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
