oh man. i've had one heck of a day...

I woke up and i was on the rag. "okay, it wont be so bad if i get out and do something". so I decide to ride my bike to a friends house to drop some things off. It was horrible. cramps...i felt like i was going to throw up and pass out. I cant believe i made it home. i got home...i was bleeding HORRIBLY and the vomiting just sucked. i thought i was going to die. I've never had a period this bad before, ever.

a question i've had for a long time is...does anyone know of any herbal remedies that lessen cramps? i try using an herbal heating pad, but i think the heat just makes me sick to my stomach.

I've heard that raspberry tea is good. My friend made some for me yesterday, but I drank it along with 2 advil and 2 midol, so I can't tell you for sure if it worked. :)

Red raspberry leaf tea is excellent. It may or may not taste like actual raspberries; the important thing is the leaves, not the berries. Which is good, because I hate the flavour of raspberries.
