    I have had horrendous cramps my whole life, as well as ovarian cysts. Think: curled up in a ball at the bottom of the bed, face as white as a ghost, seriously unable to even walk.

    I have had painful periods since i was 11 yes old. The cramps were AWFUL. I Started taking this drug when I was 27 and it is the best drug ever for me. I only had to take it for 3days during my first time on it. It has really made my cramps less painful and the bleeding lighter. Past 3 years have been great.i would recommend anyone to try it that has painful periods.
