Thank you for your article "Coping with Eve's Curse" [July 27]. I've suffered for ten years with menstrual pain, and let me assure you, it's not just a figment of my imagination. Ironically, some of the most unsympathetic responses I've heard have been from other women; from the high school nurse who offered me a peppermint, to the nurse at the hospital emergency room who told me that I'd just have to wait until I had my first baby.

Tricky camerawork spoken here--there aresaerial shots of the amatory action, which seem to have been shot...
...example, are effective but inefficient. Says Budoff: "You have to take 21 days' worth of pills for 24 hours' worth of relief. And then there are the dangerous side effects" (increased blood pressure, a greater risk of stroke and cardiovascular disease). Aspirin is helpful against mild pain.
