period pain
"I've suffered from horrible period cramps my entire life. When I was younger, I would need to be picked up from school and was bed ridden all day.  Advil has never helped reduce these cramps, in fact, it made my bleeding heavier. I started taking naproxen after my obgyn recommended it and it really does help to reduce the severity of the cramps. I still get mild cramps the first two days, but I am able to function and perform my daily activities. It works more efficiently if you take it twice a day for a few days leading to your period."
