Dysmenorrhea: A weakness to every woman.

When my monthly period comes, I feel like dying and I can't help myself from crying just to ease the unbearable pain brought by this menace, the dysmenorrhea. 

In my case, the pain usually comes during my first or second day of menstruation. I'm confused why I'm still having my dysmenorrhea when I'm avoiding acidic foods and drinks. When the pain starts in my lower hip, I'm starting to sweat all over and I don't know how to relieve it. If I have the chance to lie on my bed, I'm trying my best to do all the positions just to lessen the pain. I even take Mefenamic Acid but its effectivity is not fast enough. Sipping a cup of tea somehow relieves the pain but only a little too. For me, the feeling is in indescribable making me freaking out and weak. Lucky for me if I immediately fall to sleep because the pain is gone by the time I wake up. If I'm to describe it, it is like someone pulled the thorn on my butt. I'm really relieved when the pain is gone. I'm having a nice feeling. 

Two years ago, we went to a doctor and I told her about what I feel when dysmenorrhea strikes. She told me that eating acidic foods and drinking soft drinks is just OK but with moderation. As to taking pain-relievers, it should be taken before you feel pain to take effect. She prescribed me some medicine to regulate my blood circulation.

Because of this I was able to realize that when I'm having my 'normal days' I feel free and strong. I can do whatever I want but when the 'red days' comes in, it takes away all the things I wanna do. It takes my happiness away by inflicting me pain. The strong and brave Cindy will suddenly turn to a weak and helpless one. This is my weakness, when my red days comes.

Until now, I'm still having dysmenorrhea but sometimes when I do exercise, it doesn't come. I know I'm not the only one suffering this kind of pain monthly but there are millions of women having the same feeling as mine. With a good diet and exercise, I think I can alleviate the degree of pain but....I'm now prepared for a bloody and painful one everytime I have my period.

At last I'm now relieved,
