Period cramps and playing oboe

I have pretty bad cramps but I felt better after taking some painkillers, so I decided to practice oboe.

I only played for 5 minutes and my cramps were almost unbearable and I had to stop. It makes me so frustrated to not be able to play for a week each month. I really want to practise, especially since I have my lesson tomorrow but I haven't been able too.

Does anyone else have any tips? This sucks.

Can you widen your lips naturally?

I don't mean making the lips look thicker, I mean making the corners of your mouth be wider away. A wider smile if that makes sense.

For example look at Angeli Jolie; she has always had plump lips but as she got older it seems like they got wider *horizontally*.

She's beautiful both before and after but how did she do it? Is it just aging?

!! For context I'm also a girl !!

So today I was standing in the bathroom and fixing my makeup, when another girl my age walked by.

She said "Hey, I don't know you but you're really pretty." The way she said it sounded really genuine.

I honestly freaked out because I've never gotten complimented by a stranger before. I was like screaming and saying "you too!" because she was drop dead gorgeous.

But I got really confused because after my response she like looked at me weird and laughed. It wasn't that kind of laugh you do when laugh at something silly, it sounded mean. She walked away after that.

Was she sarcastic all along? It seems kinda weird to me since we were all alone so it wasn't like there was a group of girls making fun of me. Maybe she really was being nice but was weirded out by my reaction.

I don't know if I'm overthinking things. I just can't stop thinking, I feel really bad about this. I blanked out and didn't know how to respond. :(
