period pain
"Aleve is much more effective for me than Advil.  Like everyone else I've been dealing with extremely painful cramps my whole life.  I was taking Advil but would always end up throwing up and bent over in excruciating pain, switched to Aleve and at least now I can function during the first three critical days and not stuck in bed throwing up.  I still get bad cramps every now and then so it's not perfect but at least Aleve helps me get through it.  I usually take two in the morning; two at night. There should be a support group for woman that suffer from severe menstrual cycles. I feel like I'm the only one, but felt better after reading some of the other posts here; I'm not alone in my struggle."
