That out of the way, I can tell you that while I had generally tolerable periods with the usual, but bearable, "Ugh," feeling right before, every once in a while..? Horrible. I came across Christiane Northrup's book, "Women's Bodies. Women's Wisdom." She had a chapter on painful periods -- what causes them, how to fix it. Omega-3. Not "fish oil." Omega 3.
As a Mercola customer, I looked for Omega 3 on that site. There I found Omega 3 oil from krill. Began taking it -- three gel caps per day. My very next period started right on time (which was usual for me), but it started without any "signal" whatsoever. I felt nothing...Day before, day of, during...no discomfort at all. With God as my witness...I never experienced even the slightest bit of discomfort during my period ever again.
Crazy? Impossible? Well, that was my experience. I continued taking Omega 3 every day and had my period for another 20 years -- all without issue. Dr. Northrup explained in her book what's going on with painful periods and what it is in Omega 3 that addresses that. That I've long forgotten, but I will always remember my experience and my gratitude to Dr. Northrup. It might work for your daughter.
Interesting! I was unaware of its effect on leg cramps, but that's great news if it's worked for your husband in this way. Those things (painful leg cramps) are the worst! (Well, maybe second worst after painful menstrual cramps that last all day or several days! 😉)

Krill oil also stops painful leg cramps! After being on it for over 6 months now, my husband has not had any muscle cramps.

Thank you for this comment. I just ordered Zenwise omega 3 to try with myself and daughter.
You're welcome! I hope it may bring her relief! 🙏 Good luck!
Thank you!! I will have her try that!
