QuestionHi , so im turning 20 soon and since i can rember i had extremely painful periods! like very painful , usually the pain lasts for the first 2 day , i usually missed out on school a lot and now i miss out on work. I am not on the pill and i never have been , i've tried to go the natural way , but nothing helps my pain , i start taking pain killer a week before , that does make the pain less , like im not screaming and going crazy , but its still too much for me to go to work or anything.
But more than the pain is getting to me , i realize that about a week before my period starts i get out of control craving , generally for sweets stuff and sometimes just carbs- then i drink and eat stuff i wouldnt normally even like - its like i binge eat , i cant help myself , and i gain sooo much weight then, its crazy, i feel like i have an eating disorder then!! and i also get a little bit moody , but i feel like as soon as my period starts , my moodiness goes aways and so does these stupid cravings!!The only reason i have never even considered trying the pill is becuase everybody says i will gain weight and i REALLy dont want to , so could you prescribe a pill that would not cause weight gain?
So my question is whether there is a pill that will cure these horrible cravings i get a week before , that can hopefully reduce the pain and would not casue weight gain ?
Thanks for your time =)
AnswerHi Anna,
So are you considering the pill only for your health and not for sex? That is what I get out of your email. I don't usually recommend the pill because of hormonal reasons. I don't consider it healthy. But I do sympathize with you about the pain and everything. There must be a natural way to solve this problem. If you don't mind, I am going to email my friend about this. She's really into natural health solutions. So email me at CHERYL51@aol.com and we can talk more.
Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
