TENS machine to manage period/miscarriage cramping

A little tip that has been a life changer for me and that I wanted to share to all ladies out there: I suffer from terrible period cramps that incapacitate me for a couple of days each month and that I felt I had to over-medicate myself to get to a tolerable enough level (= in a half comatose state in bed but not in pain). I am currently sadly going through a miscarriage at 6 weeks so was warned that the next two weeks would be quite painful and honestly was panicked as to what to expect. After some research, I have bought a TENS machine (cheap but efficient little one) and have to say that little buzzing thing has been a life changer in terms of completely numbing any level of pain, and this combined with a little paracetamol does the trick. A little something positive at least in this process..

Would have wished someone had told me about that little machine 15 years ago so wanted to share with all the ladies out there who might be experiencing the same pain levels (and worst of all, the fear of that pain) every month.
