Tips on reducing Menstrual Cramp

Helloooo!

How’s everybody doing?

Today I’m gonna be blogging about menstrual cramps.

Girls who have super duper painful menstrual cramps, I know how you feel. I have those every month! :/ It's like a nightmare (throughout the day)... a MONSTER!!

To those girls who don’t have this experience, lucky you! :/ cos it is really a routine you won’t wanna be involved in. When people are out there having fun, jumping around, eating ice cream, and drinking icy drinks, you are there… lying miserably on the bed waiting, cringing in different positions, feeling dead and eating only as much as an ant can take in. 

So far, I have tried many methods to reduce the pain. I went to Chinese doctors to regulate my Yin-Yang. But it was too costly to maintain. ($150 each month for the herbal medicines) I went to English doctors and all they gave me were painkillers, which I could easily get from any pharmacies or 7-11 nearby. *facepalm*I even followed those drama series, they said eating chocolates could help ease the pain! The most recent attempt was the Eu Yang Seng’s Bai Feng Wan, which I am supposed to swallow a bottle of pills every week. One-whole-bottle. Every week. Goooosh. &so I went on a quest to ask my bestest friend, Google, for help.

1)      Hot water bottles 

I’ve tried this many times, it kinda works! But it normally takes some time for the muscle to warm and relax. I would always wrap it up with a towel and put it at my lower abdomen and then wrap myself in a thick blankie. I will feel like a small little girl every time I do that, hehe!  

2)      Menstral Painkiller Pills 

You don’t wana rely on these too much even though it works. Your dosage will slowly increase over time.  

3)      Yoga posts 

Youtubing “Yoga for cramps” gave me a few results. Try keeping legs elevated while lying down. Or Lie on the side with knees bent. 

4)      Change in Diet 

Rich in complex carbohydrates (whole grains, fruits, and vegetables)Less salt, sugar, alcohol, and caffeine.
5)      Warm showers 

It's quite shiok after it! Always do it while you can still walk (if the pain is not too painful) 

6)      Walk or light exercise regularly 

hmm... hehe! I'll work on it soon! 

7)      Have adequate sleep 

Yupp :D absolutely love this method, have been doing it all along keke!

well, that's all I've learnt so far, hope these few tips are of use to you! ^^

Working Adult Grumbles

Researched on many topics like prices of household appliances, industrial boilers and building materials as part of my jobs. But more than 60% of my time was spent on researching other things like tour and wedding destinations, birthday parties, scrapebook making and online shopping for clothes and bags! Tee-Hee :D

But overall…… I hate my work! can't wait for it to end on 26^th July!

there's lame colleague who is a total S-L-A-C-K-E-R. can't stand him.

I started the job feeling all motivated and pumped up to do work. then came this slacker disrupting my mood as he was slow and had a bad attitude about the job. using the phone and coming in late every day, and still gets the same pay as me! at first I thought it was going to be temporary. I started to talk to him to get him motivated but he was a stubborn as bull about his lousy work attitude and made me feel unbalanced. I was grumbling to myself and tolerating all his nonsense every day, and it was torturous. Was I working too hard? I had to stop working so hard to feel less unbalanced. I started going slightly later for work, started using my phone, and started surfing the net for stuff other than work. I hate myself like this actually. & I hate him for being like this. Disgusting, how can anyone be like that?

Zz. Nuff grumbling about work.

Life has been fine other than times at work. Been meeting up with my dear friends (Astrid and Sharmane), and my dearest boyfriend ^^ I’ve also been catching up on family time after my one year of stay in hall. Missed home so much :P I love Nikki, mommy and everyone elseeee. (oh and especially mommy’s cooking J)

This is the yummy macaroons from TWG! :P #omnom

Boyf has been feeding me so much that I’ve gained 8kg since last year (exactly this period one year ago) #fatdieme. sigh, how I wish I can go back to below 50kg. Oh well, I’ll try my best! Probably gonna start running for the RunNus 5km that boyf have signed up for me :/

Adios~
