I know this is going to sound absurd if not redundant... but I hate cramps. I absolutely HATE them. The only thing I hate more than having cramps is having to walk around pretending it's a normal day and like my mood is just "great". Men will NEVER understand. Not ever. I suppose it isn't their fault. It's just right now all I can do is try to not consider suicide OR homicide=) but seriously f***ing OWWW!!! I'm sorry I just had to get that out and I guess this is the best place to do it. My grandmother just asked me if I was putting on weight... and I just laughed it off and said "oh I don't know gramma maybe" I felt like crying and commiting violence at the same time. ugh. I feel ugly.

If I may make a recommendation, I've found that Women's Moon Cycle (http://yogitea.com/Organic-Tea/Tea.asp?Tea_ID=WT02) from Yogi Tea works WONDERS on cramps, and, assuming your local chain grocery store has a natural foods section, it's not even that hard to find (plus, the site does have a store locator (http://yogitea.com/WhereToBuy/WhereToBuy.asp)). I can't say enough good about this tea, it really is a god-send for me. It even helps with my mood swings!

Yogi does make some other women's teas as well, but I haven't tried them, so I can't speak on their effectiveness, but they are Women's Dong Quai Tonic (http://yogitea.com/Organic-Tea/Tea.asp?Tea_ID=WT01) and Women's Raspberry Leaf (http://yogitea.com/Organic-Tea/Tea.asp?Tea_ID=WT05) (but if you look closely, the Moon Cycle blend has the ingredients of the other two, plus more *g*).

Does your grandma know you're on your period?

Haha, agreed. I hate walking on my period, especially with cramps.
