1. I'm sorry
It sucks and I have been in the same predicament for a week. If men had these things they would get paid days off every month x(

16. The secretary at my first church (where I had AWFUL cramps)
used to say "If men had cramps, there'd be a cure...or a telethon."

I often envision that telethon. "Here's Jimmy. He must spend three days every month in bed due to the unbearable pain in his stomach. Won't you help Jimmy get his life back?"

3. Aren't they the fucking stupidest things ever?
I say, give 'em to the men and make THEM deal with that for a while.

4. I Have Those In My Legs Everyday!
So, i know the feelin'! My MS is mostly manifested by pain and cramping in the legs, from just above the knee to the feet. (Hips too, but not as often.)

I'm spasming to beat the band today, too!

We'll be miserable together!

7. You know what the best things for cramps is.
I don't know if I'm allowed to say it here. But I've read that it's also helpful in the early stages of labor - tho I find that hard to believe. Sure works on cramps tho.

12. Advil always works like a charm for me, esp. the first two days.
:hug: sorry you're in pain, I know how it is, believe me...and there's NEVER a good time for it, either. :(
hang in there, it'll pass...

20. Seriously - find a friend who smokes weed and ask them for a puff
Cannabis is a muscle relaxant, and I haven't met a female smoker yet who's cramps didn't go away after a puff or two.

21. My oldest daughter has been "blessed" this year...
unfortunately her initiation into womanhood gives her cramps so bad she vomits. Poor thing. I kept her home from school the last two times.

22. Oh, I am so sorry for her.
:(

Since I can go from 2 to 7 months between, and am extremely irregular, I bleed like mad for the first two days, so much so that I run through an industrial-strength tampon in about 3 hours, but I don't really get bad cramps, just a tightening. Still, it makes being in school, smelly, bloody, and on edge that every moment the entire thing is going to burst, a pain in the fucking ass.

I feel for her.

24. She's pretty miserable..
the doctor wants to wait until she has cycled a few more times before putting her on anything to help "regulate" her more...though he did prescribe some mild muscle relaxers for her. They help a little but she's still miserable when it's that time. I just keep her home and let her soak in a warm tub as long as possible.

32. Why don't you want to go on it?
It'd help and you'd probably be happier.

23. I'm sorry LP
:hug: Cramps SUCK! x( Last month, mine were so bad that I felt like I was going to pass out from the pain (only of course I didn't - that would've been too easy). x( 2,000 mg of painkillers and some vigorous...umm..."exercise" helped make it slightly more bearable, but still definitely no fun. :( Feel better! :hug:
