I ' ve been thinking of going with an IUD because I have von Willebrand Disease and , even being on the pill , have been on my period ranging from spotting to heavy for the last 3 . 5 months no , my doctor does not care he just said nonchalantly that no one has ever died from their period despite me having been very close to receiving a blood transfusion as a teenager as a result of my period . I ' ll need to do more research with how IUDs work for those with von Willebrand , but so far , I think I ' ve seen that Mirena ' s the way to go for that specific crowd , and for anyone who may have a misbehaving uterus me also . <| sep |> Dude buy loperamide . when your stomache feels very strange and you start having diarrhea eatabout 40 mg . you ' ll feel worse for about 1 hour and start to feel better . You can adjust your loperamide dose accordingly . it will give you cotton mouth , and constipate you for 4872 hoursnbut if you only dose lope in the morning you can have a bowel movement the next mprnimg . Don ' t redose until youve used the bathroom . stay on the loperamide for 710 days then start to taper . I usuallyy lower my dose 2 mg a day . And 1 mg a day at 20 mg , and half mg day at 10 mg . And half mg every second day at five mg . loperamide HCl is available OTC in America . You can get 400 mg in 200 x 2 mg pressed pills for 8 . 98 which is about a 710 day and supply . Its even cheaper in some online outlets its also good to have ibuprofen for additional leg cramps and tums or pepto bismol in the beginning days of loperamide . you may have some acid reflux heart burn and some cramps . Lope only alleviates 9095 % of wd ' s the first Couple days .
