Omg tip: my doctor said if your able to predict your periods you can actually start taking ibuprofen 2-3 days before and it’ll build up in your system and help with cramps

That’s what my ob/gyn said to do 🤷‍♀️ I have very painful cramps so she gave me a set of medications to take and what foods to avoid

i used to struggle as well, the first pill i was ever able to get down was with melted ice cream 😭 i suggest taking pills with anything that’s sweet/thicker bc it helps you not to feel the pill as much

I suggest taking a small pill like Motrin even breaking it in half if it’s easier putting it on your tongue and swallow a glass of normally
