So my girlfriend has been really sick the past couple of days.
She's had really bad cramps, and headaches, and a slight fever, and diahrea...
so I'm thinking, is this normal? Should she go to the doctor? Maybe this is just a really bad cycle for her? I'm worried, so advice would be appreciated....
Are there any teas or oils or anything that she can take/use to soothe these symptoms?

Oh yeah, and after lurking for a while I've finally joined. So hello!

my stomach always bothers me hardcore right before my period and for a few days after it starts.

and i get horrific cramps(to a point of near-immobilization...and they make me tummysick, too..)

i got some "women's cycle" tea that has dong quai and black cohosh in it, and it helps a little.


hope that helps..

First, I'm going to say that I have plenty of gastro-intestinal unpleasantness during my period.

Second, I'm going to say that fever and diarrhea are symptoms of Toxic Shock Syndrome. You can get TSS from the use of tampons, as is obvious from those little inserts in the box.

See a doctor, just in case. If it's not TSS, tell her to have some hot tea with 1/8 teaspoon of nutmeg twice a day. Tell her not to use too much nutmeg or she'll get high. ^_^
