I am cramping a lot more than I did before I started Iodine. But my periods are only 3-4 days. I figure I my breasts are getting rid of the FBD and that pain is almost completely gone, so I can put up with a few days of bad cramping:)
I have just started using Red Rasberry Leaf tea for the last couple of days, and it has helped a lot with the cramping. The problem is you have to drink a cup every couple of hours and that is hard to do at night, so I keep waking up with cramps.
I never got cramps from my TOM until my late 30's.
