Answers:
I personally think it is best to stay home from work on the first day of your period that way you will perform better over all once you have had a rest!.

If you must be there on day one make sure you have a small discrete hot /heat bag to place against your tummy inside your skirt while you are sitting (pantyhose can keep it in place)!.

Avoid bending over and getting up suddenly and too often!.

Have a nice warm cup of tea and let your immediate supervisor know that you don't feel the best and why; hopefully they'll be understanding!. If you don't let them know what is troubling you they will just think you are slacking off!.

If you can avoid to much physical activity the day BEFORE your period then the pain is less!.

I hope you feel better soon!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)!. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) block prostaglandins (the substances that increase uterine contractions)!. They are effective painkillers and also have other properties that act against inflammatory factors that may be responsible for heavy menstrual bleeding!. Aspirin is the most common NSAID, but there are dozens of others available over the counter or by prescription!. Among the most effective NSAIDs for menstrual disorders are ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, Midol PMS), naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn, Naprelan, Anaprox), and mefenamic acid (Ponstel)!. In a comparison study of ibuprofen and naproxen, both were effective, but the effects of naproxen lasted longer!. Naproxen, however, may carry a higher risk for gastrointestinal (GI) effects than ibuprofen!. Long-term use of any NSAID can increase the risk for GI bleeding and ulcers!. In fact, one 2001 study reported that overuse of NSAIDs for menstrual disorders contributed to iron deficiency anemia due to GI blood loss!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
