Pain Relief Medicine

Today, I had severe menstrual pain. I should have taken pain relief medicine as soon as possible. I skipped breakfast today, so I wanted to avoid taking pain relief medicine with an empty stomach because it leads to gastritis. I was waiting for my husband to come home, and I was going to have lunch and take the medicine after that. However, the pain was getting worse. Then, I took stomach medicine and pain relief medicine. I was suffering from severe pain for 20 minutes, but the pain wasn't relived at all. I didn't feel well, and my face became pale. I felt nauseous and ended up throwing up. I am usually afraid of throwing up, and it happens once in a blue moon. Because I throw up pain relief medicine, I thought my pain would never go away. I looked for a soothing suppository, which I brought from Japan, and I used it. I've known the medicine was very strong. 10 minutes later, I was able to experience a reduction in pain. I use pain relief medicine regularly for period pains, and the pain I experienced today was one of the most severe pain I've ever had. I know if I take the medicine before the pain begins or becomes severe, I can control the pain. However, I was too late to take the medicine today.
Now, I feel like I am in heaven. :)
