Studying with endometriosis

i've been having really bad cramps and brain fog in the lead up to some of my a-level exams and it's been hard to concentrate and get things done. even if things turn out alright, i'm still worried about uni because i have a history of this affecting my exam performance. if anyone has any tips for staying focused or or anything they're comfortable to share i would be so so grateful

What do you take for the cramps? Have you seen your GP?

What if I get my period during an exam.........
Heat pads are thought to offer temporary relief for period pain perhaps a good solution for an exam lasting for a couple of hours. By applying a source of heat to the affected area, it's thought that pain receptors are dulled and heat receptors are activated instead.

Otherwise speak to your GP or local pharmacist at the chemist about what they can give you for this.
