Period Pain
"I&#039;ve had debilitating period cramps ever since I got my first period(I was 12 then.) I&#039;d break out in a cold sweat, start getting dizzy and shake uncontrollably. On top of that my legs would hurt like hell, and it would feel as if someone was punching my womb from the inside out. My mother (a doctor who never had such cramps herself) has been giving it to me ever since. I&#039;m twenty four now, and always knock back a ponstan with a cup of regular tea when I start getting the familiar cramps.
