I usually have cramps the first two - three days of my period. They're so bad that I'll have to stay home from school at least one day, and sometimes I'll throw up several times. No type of painkiller or tea helps. Curling into the fetal position helps a little sometimes, but not always.

I've already thrown up four times today, and it hurts so freaking bad (not meaning to sound whiny). I have a biology assignment due tomorrow but I'm not going to be able to turn it in if this doesn't let up any - sometimes it gets so bad that I'm literally crying and writhing in pain.

Does anyone know of any way possible to lessen the pain? It's so stupid to have to miss school one or two days a month for this, and it f*cking hurts!
