  • This is Tanya Moseley, co host of Fresh air.

  • Amanda Knox spent nearly four years in prison for a murder she did not commit.

  • When she was exonerated,

  • she made an unusual decision to befriend the prosecutor who argued for her guilt.

  • Maybe he could help her make sense of her case.

  • I spent years thinking about it and trying to understand it until I realized that I could just ask.

  • Listen to this interview on the FRESH AIR podcast.

  • You're listening to Life Kit from npr.

  • Hey, everybody, it's Marielle.

  • For a decade plus, when I would get my period, I would have terrible cramps the first day.

  • And I would just ride it out like I'd be doubled over, unable to leave the house, really.

  • I tried heating pads, which do help, but for some reason I didn't think I should take a painkiller.

  • I don't know, I guess I just thought it was safer to go natural.

  • But then one day when I was maybe 25, I popped an ibuprofen.

  • And then a short time later that the pain was gone.

  • It would start to creep back up again a little later.

  • And then I took another.

  • And after that I was over the hump.

  • My cramps were manageable at that point.

  • I kind of regretted waiting that long.
