"i was literally unable to function during my menstrual cycle due to severe menstrual cramps. hunched over, crying, shivering, nauseous, insane level of cramps. i also suffer back pain. i used to attempt to deal with it by taking 800mg ibuprofen, which led to my getting painful gastritis in less than a year and ironically never even really worked. after getting my wisdom teeth pulled and having my cycle at the same time, i was enlightened to how this was the perfect pain management medication.
