Period Pain and Acupuncture

Very few women go through life without any discomfort before or during their periods. For many it is often the "grit teeth and get on with it" week in their cycle. But for some it is a seriously debilitating week (often longer) when the pain and discomfort is so severe that life has to be put on hold. No one should have to put up with this sort of hell each month. Medication is frequently prescribed but the symptoms may still be pretty unbearable and few people relish the idea of taking any medication on a long term basis. I went to school with someone who's period pain was so severe that the colour would drain from her face until it took on a green-ish hue, and then she would pass out. Most women have suffered or know someone who has suffered similarly and it is truly awful.
