I never had bad cramps before.. and these are the worst! They are crippling. I dont know if this has anything to do with it, but I've lost my appetite, and the strange thing is I have SO much energy. I was up till 3:00am this morning and woke up at 7:30am. And I swear to god I could run a marathon I have so much energy. I dont know if this has anything to do with my bad cramps tho =S. I dont know what to do. I've exercised went for a walk, and it helps slightly.. but other than that I dont know what else to do. Any suggestions? Thanks BNS.
I had really really bad cramps this week. I put a hot hot towel on my lower stomache to ease the pain. Lots of tylenol and midol, but it made me kind of loopy and dizzy. Avoid caffeinated soda drinks. For me, they immediately make the cramps worse for some reason. Also, massaging that area helps.
I got really bad cramps last week at the Disturbia matinee. I was able to fart, and they went away. It was like a big air bubble had gotten trapped, but once all popped and oozed out, I was fine.
i get reeaaaally bad cramps the first two days of my period... unfortunately i am yet to find a get better quick fix, so i just pop some nurofen plus and use it as a good excuse to get my bf to do things for me hehehe
I feel you sis. as i have some killer ones at the moment. i usually put a wheat pack in the microwave with a cup of water next to it (moisture or something?) then i put it on the spot where the cramps are worst. it works well. also a good panadol should do the trick. dont know about the energy thing but u licky! i feel like shit, i think im getting a cold. peace
My sister uses those heat patches, hun. Pain killer too. I hate to know or see a girl in pain. Hugs to you guys.
there are some good preventative things you can do before you get your cycle that might help a lot of times, cramps are a sign of calcium deficiency...so getting extra calcium for the 10 days before you start can really help. you can do this with food, calcium/magnesium supplements, or herbs (my choice!). actually, i have a great high calcium tea recipe that worked really well for me....but i'm living in mexico & don't have my herb books here! once you already have cramps...you can rub your belly & pelvic area with a few drops of pennyroyal oil. DO NOT EVER USE THIS OIL INTERNALLY...it is toxic! hot baths help & warm liquids too. caffeine & cold stuff is supposed to make them worse, though hope this helps!!!
