NSAIDS are non-steroidal anti-inflammatories - painkillers in the same family as ibuprofen, such as mefenamic acid/Ponstan, and in my case prescription-only. They also as a bonus side-effect reduce blood loss. However because they kick in quite slowly, it's a good idea to start taking them a day in advance or at least make sure you've got some in the cupboard to take immediately. Also, they can be supplemented with paracetamol when an extra boost is needed. Can you tell that I believe in the power of modern pharmaceutical products?
Do you also do the thing of banging your head on the pillow to wake up at a certain time? Yes, but it doesn't work.
