When you get cramps do you feel totally shitty?

Like you have the flu? My teeth are aching, my head is aching, I have a stomachache (seperate from the cramps per se), I feel TIRED... ugh.

Or notsomuch?

when I get cramps

:shrug:

I feel like I am dying...dying I tell you. and no one in this house cares. :(

I had killer cramps yesterday, in fact, so I can relate to feeling totally shitty. Sometimes I even get a headache with them. Usually, for the first two days I take copious amounts of Advil, which seems to do the trick....then it's not so bad. :hug:

Hang in there, gf.

menopause!:bounce:

i started using the therma care heat wrap things which help a lot, one in front and one for my lower back, the lower back is really bad.

along with most of the other symptoms you listeded, and then some.

I also get really hungry sometimes

:rofl:

:spank:

:yoiks:

:(

ewww, I just kissed your hair follicles


:rofl:

I'm sorry

:hug:

It's like I lucked out for the last 10 years. Then all of sudden, vicious cramps. Only a heating pad really helps. x(

cramps so bad my lower back and hips lock up, nausea and general achiness. and i haven't found any *legal* way to mitigate the pain. there have been times it's been so bad i've taken vicodin or muscle relaxers that i have for my back and even that doesn't help much

ugh

can you give me some vicodin and muscle relaxers

ahhh

better


sounds like you got bad cramps!

handcuffs help?

:rofl:


:hi: :hug:

;)

i usually spend those days curled up in a tight little ball praying for death and yelling at anyone who tries to touch me. i'm not a nice person on those days :rofl:

Is there anything to be done for that?

I mean, sounds like more than "normal" cramps...whatever normal is.

:hug:

but it's not legal and not an option if i'm working

I was thinking other things

but I gotcha

:cry:


:hug:

I know what you mean - I'm the same way. :( It sucks ass.

that work their way into your quads and feel like those nauseating labor cramps.

:hug:

labor was actually less painful than cramps for her. :scared: :shrug:

Give me as much info as you can. Duration, relation to period, symptoms, what can be done to help. Should I STFU and go play on the computer during the cramps. Do the cramps interfere with females ability to make dinner? Will asking such questions get me knocked the fuck out?

Maybe poke your head in and ask if she wants some tea or soup. :P

Maybe you could do my math homework, that might take your mind off things.



j/k

Now that I think of it, math can cause all of the listed symptoms! :rofl:

Two in a box... I think Lipton is the brand. It has a bunch of little noodles in the pouch. I love those things... Just thinking about having one makes me want to get sick.. Popsicles, 7-up, and pouch soup... Now I want to be sick.


edit :: found a pack in the pantry...

cream of broccoli with toast on the side. :9

make dinner and then hide. :P

My PMS lasts for about a week, and my mood totally changes, I just feel down. When I get cramps that is usually only that day, but the weird feeling physically of aching and feeling 'twisty', like I can't get comfortable, comes on the day or so before and I never can figure out why I feel so weird. Sometimes my teeth all ache at once too, which is really weird. :shrug:

:( Cramps suck. Every few months I'll get really bad cramps that make my legs go pretty much numb/so weak I can barely walk, and the pain is so bad I want to just pass out but I can't - it's like I'm just under my maximum pain threshold so that I have to endure the awfulness of being conscious for that shit. x( I usually take about 2,000 mg of painkillers (ibuprofen and Tylenol, and occasionally aspirin/whatever else I can get my hands on too if I'm really desperate), and that will alleviate the pain a little...sometimes I can even manage to function somewhat normally. But yeah, even when the cramps aren't quite that bad, they're still painful, and I usually get a stomachache and just feel exhausted. I hate cramps - and I hope you feel better soon, XemaSab! :hug: :virtualheatingpad: :hug:

aint being a woman grand sometimes?

:sarcasm:

So, I voted that no, I don't feel totally shitty. Annoyed, yeah, but they come and go. :D

and they aren't that bad now, thank goodness

i don't quite see how it can make your teeth ache, can't they give you something for that? it doesn't sound like a normal cycle to me :shrug:
