Heavy periods are a bummer. Best thing I find is if I stay active when I have energy. It boosts me for sure and I do tend to keep a hot water bottle have a movie night and relax.
Getting a good night's sleep really helps aswell.
If your periods are heavy visit your gp who may advice acids to help ease the bleeding but that's a pro and con. The bad news is acids don't work all the time I personally find them hit and miss the gyney department said that's about right. Pro when they do work they ease off the bleeding and pain. If your bleeding heavy keep an eye on your iron levels I personally lose most of my iron during periods hence my lovely vampire completion afterwards. Also if you are in pain with the bleeding don't be afraid to mix your pain relief so ibuprofen and paracetamol or I personally take a combo of ibuprofen and cocodamol you can get it over the counter but says only use 3 days 3 days is all I need lol. Good luck hope it gets more managable
Thanks
