Oh, I don't feel ashamed about my period. I just hate it. I rather delight in detailed conversations about it (note: unlocked post).
I don't know about diet, because I'm vegetarian, I barely eat any sugar or fat, and I get lots of fruits and veggies. Weight hasn't made a difference, at least in my case—I've been overweight, average, and slightly underweight, and it's always been hell. Exercise, to the extent that I'm capable of it, hasn't made a difference, other than that I can't exercise for most of my period because of the pain. I've never entirely cut out caffeine, but I've gone down to one cup of coffee a day. No difference.

Advil made a difference. ;)
