I'm a final year PhD student in the field of Supramolecular Chemistry (2019). I've never really been too fussed about editing Wikipedia pages until I had the most painful menstrual cramps of my life (touch wood). My pharmacist recommended mefenamic acid (via my partner, who had raced over to get me help). I wish that I had heard of this drug sooner - after taking one 500mg dose I was finally able to feel relief. Before this, in between screaming and crying I had tried googling and found the Dysmenorrhea Wikipedia page. The page listed immediate treatment options as ibuprofen and heating pads - neither of which worked for me. I was motivated to make this account purely to edit the Dysmennorrhea page to include other examples of drugs to help ease painful periods. It seems crazy to me now that I spent so long suffering when I didn't have to, and there may be others out there just like me that I hope can be helped by my small edit.

Now that I'm here though and the account is set up I hope to contribute positively to other pages- let's see :)
