Premenstrual syndrome (PMS)

For some people PMS is in the first place connected with mood swings, but in my case every new month brings intolerable pain, which I always have in the first days of any menstrual cycle. The pain starts from the bottom of my belly and sometimes it becomes so severe that it provokes nausea or head ache. I tried great number of pain killers, both the simplest and more expensive ones. American medication Midol was one of them.

One can’t say that pain killers not in the least help during PMS. However, it is difficult to find among them such medication, which would really help to take away the pain any month. Actually, on one day it can be helped with simple no-spa, while on another day even complex of strong pain killers can do nothing about it. However, I have discovered for myself miraculous pills, which always take away the pain. Midol has become such “savior” for me.

Midol is sometimes called an American analogue to our baralgin. But, unlike the later, it really works. Only one pill taken on the first day of periods allows getting rid of pain and even improves spirits. Midol pills help me to normally tolerate beginning of the cycle, while I still remember the times when the first day of periods simply fell out of my life!

The only thing, which I find disturbing about this medication, is that as any other strong pain killer it mismatches alcohol and other medications. It is the biggest problem about it. For me Midol is only a pain killer, because it does not help with bad mood and apathy. However, one should take good care when taking these pills together with other PMS medications, because they might provoke large hemorrhage, which would only make the pain stronger and wield negative influence on the overall health.
