Specifically cramps. Even more specifically if you have been diagnosed or suspect endometriosis. Though as I've mentioned in a previous post, I struggle emotionally as well. But I also struggle giving up my one true love, coffee. Did reducing caffeine ease anything for you?

Hmmm interesting....I thought there was caffeine in Midol (to help with PMS!)

@winniebee: I've always heard that reducing will help reduce symptoms! Haha. Excedrine has caffeine too, I think it's supposed to help with pain management. Something about blood vessels and their construction (not sure if it dilates or constricts them)

I haven't altered caffeine.
Maybe TMI and definitely gross...
One thing that helped significantly was when I started taking baby aspirin daily. I haven't tested positive for a serious blood clotting disorder, but I do have MTHFR so I started baby aspirin. My periods are so much less clotty since I started taking a daily baby aspirin, and I think the clots were what was so horrendously painful.

No, if anything I drink more caffeine because I'm tired and have a headache.
