horibble horrible horrible cramps- PLEASE HELP

Oh my goodness, i just woke up because i have these awful cramps- worse then i've ever had in my life.

i drank some water and even took some naproxin (sp?), when i hate taking pills for things like this.

My mom is out of town so I have no one to ask right now.

I'm crying really hard, this pain is unbearable. Gah, is there anything i can do to help minimalize it? I have to go somewhere at 10 this morning and i can't get out of it.

Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

 

i rarely get them, but when i do and they are hurting, if i put something warm on them... mug of hot tea? that usually helps.

 

curl up in a ball with a hot water bottle and watch a good movie to distract you. drink beer. fall asleep if you can. Take Midol if you can get your hands on any, or Tylenol.

Edit:...hmm I guess if you have to go somehwere at 10 my suggestions wont help. If you are still hurting after, do these things. I dont know of any quick fixes other than Midol. Maybe bring a hot chocolate with you for comfort, and wear soft clothing, not tight clothing

 

i made the mistake of wearing fitted jeans. i took a lot of asprin all day, and i can't stand this. i've never had cramps like this. gah. being a girl sucks.

 

Feel better!!

 

aww, thank you i'm making some tea right now, hopefully that will make it better.

 

stand on your head?
reverse gravity..

 

obviously. i don't know why i didn't think of that.

 

ibuprofen really is the best thing for cramps if you're able to take it. a hot shower, a heating pad, things like that always help me.

 

If this continues you should see your gyn. and get perscription pain pills. Then while you're there she will most likely make sure everything is okay. Especially because you said it has never been this bad. Good luck

 

i get cysts on my ovaries pretty frequently. they're nothing unusual. but when i get them, my cramps are HORRIBLE.

 

I usually just go take a dump and that clears it right up.

 

oh oops, this is womens issues. sorry
:leaving:

 

Not to sound like a pothead, but what about pot, I always heard that helped

 

i've never smoked before, i don't think cramps are a reason to start. haha.

it's eird, it's only happening at night and i can't sleep because of it. blar. this sucks.

 

i know lots of women that blaze when they have cramps because the pain kills them

 

not everyone can smoke. i'd have LOVED it. i wanted to get my little sis some. she loves pot, but it never helped her with cramps.

 

The best thing ive ever used for cramps hands down. Ive tried meds and everything and pot is so much better on my liver and my head. It works so so well for me. Plus it helps the mood swings and things.

 

i don 't know how to smoke/i have no way to start right now. so i don't think that's really an option, but i'll consider it for next time.
