im 22 and i agree (it does get worse w age) but imo when im living healthier lifestyle periods are easier. (wow crazy right??) so the usual, workout 5 days a week, drink enough water, sleep 8 hrs everyday and have a sleep sched and sleep before 11 pm at max, hit ur protein and fiber goals, eat clean, quit sugar, quit caffeine etc. (That works for me and that's why when i have exam month or a month where there's travel/stress/ no routine) I have delayed periods and pain etc
even low BP. i have never taken a painkiller to for periods (even though sometimes I agree I should, bc then afterwards I get a fever and that's WORSE) but it has happened like, only once. 1st day is the worst to me.

This is so unrelated but please if y'all have any hack/remedy for period pain, please drop it down here, I'll try anything God please
Man I AM SO DONE WITH IT!
I'm 26 and this just keeps getting worse
Also, those who take painkillers, how do you take it and how frequent?
