We get it, you have a lot going on. You balance your work, family and friends while trying to keep up a healthy lifestyle. Worrying about your period should be the last thing on your to-do list.
Whether it's cramps, headache, backache, or bloating these simple lifestyle changes can get you back to feeling more like your real self.
FEELING BETTER BEFORE AND DURING MY PERIOD
Relaxation and Stress Reduction
Stress can make period symptoms seem even worse. Need a few simple tricks for stressing less? Write in your journal, hang with a friend, exercise, or try meditation or relaxation exercises.

Talk To Your Doctor
If nothing seems to help or if you notice any unusual period symptoms, call your doctor as soon as possible.
