How can I make my period less painful?

[xCaliiGurlx]

Hey, lately I've noticed that whenever I stand up or lay down my stomach hurts more than anything. What can I do, to make this less painful? My mom told me that yoga works for some people, so I tried it this morning but I don't see any real difference. Are there any exercises or postures I can do to help the pain subside?

Thanks.

First off, eat a banana! It has yet to fail me :daisy:

And yes, most girls find that by fighting through the initial pain, doing something active like running really helps.
