Through Gerwyn's Eyes #22

Time of the Month ( TOTM )

 

 

I'm sure I'm not the only one that curls up in bed wear the most comfortable pullover and sweatpants , just wishing I was never a girl ?

 

Thus , I'm sharing some tips on how to ease the pain ~

 

 

 

1) Lying in different positions

When the pain is unbearable , try lying down in different positions . Find one that you feel the least pain ; for me , I lie down in the position like the cartoon above ><

 

2) Invest in a heating pad

You can invest in a heating pad ( about $7 ~ $10 in Guardian ) , or get a warm NON-LEAK bottle to put over your abdomen area . The warmth will help ease the pain slightly !

 

3) Do some mild exercises

Yes , you'll probably be stuck in bed ; but try to get some mild exercises to keep the blood flowing .

 

 

4) Stay away from alcohol & coffee

The caffeine will NOT help .

 

5) Wear comfortable clothes

Stay away from bralets & tight-fitting clothes for a while ; suit up in your pullovers & sweatpants ~

 

6) Homemade Remedy

Things you'll need :

- 1 Pot

- 1 Stove

- 1 piece of Ginger

- 1 tablespoon of Brown Sugar

- Tap Water ( will be boiled later )

- 1 Knife

- 1 Ziploc Bag ( optional )

 

What to do :

1. Get rid of most of the "skin" of the ginger , be careful when handling with the knife !

2. Put the ginger in the ziploc bag & smash the ginger with the knife , be careful of your hands !

3. Take the ginger out and cut into managable pieces .

4. Pour the ginger , water & brown sugar into the pot .

5. Stir slightly while bringing it to a boil .

6. Drink while hot .

7) Warn other first !
I always send a message beforehand to people that I usually text , so that they know not to disturb me :P
