Worst f-ing cramps....please help me.?!


Question: I'm on day 3 of my period, and my cramps are unbearable. I've NEVER had cramps this bad. It woke me up several times throughout the night, but now I'm up for good.

PLEASE tell me how I can get rid of them. If and when I can manage to move I was going to eat a little bowl of cereal and take two or three ib profen (sp)...what else can I do?

I don't have any women's medicines like midol or whatever else...there is a heat pack I could put on it, would that help?

I ALWAYS use heat when I have terrible cramps. It works for me. Something else that works is for me to lay on my stomach. A warm bath will help as well.

I feel bad for you, I hate when I get cramps.

Yes use the heat pack and take the ibuprofen. Also, do you have any calcium or magnesium tablets? if so take some, they should help

marijuana

the heat pack is good.anything cold drinking or eating is not good and makes cramps worse.if you have the spice ginger in any form,boil water and put the ginger in it,about it 1 teaspoonful for two cups,or boil a small piece of ginger and drink that.this dosen,t taste bad,and it will warm you inside and usually help alot.also always keep your feet warm with socks or slippers if your feet or warm you feel better,i,m not sure on the ibuporfron,but can call a drug store and ask and they know.different pain killers are for different pain,like muscle or headache.if you don,t have the ginger try hot tea or hot water if you have nothing else.just get warm inside and out.good luck,see a doctor when you can,

(((hugs))) Menstrual cramps are h*ll to deal with. A heat pad will definitely help. What strength are the Ibuprofen? If they are 200mg, then take two. Only take one if they are 400mg. The maximum dose of Ibuprofen it is safe to take in 24 hours is 400mg three times a day, according to the box I have sitting in front of me now.
As crazy as it sounds and as much as you won't want to do it, gentle exercise will also help. Failing that, get back in bed with a large bar of chocolate and a crappy, feel good movie on DVD. Works for me!
Your doctor may help you too, although sometimes they are not always very sympathetic, I know!
Feel better soon.

Believe me, I know exactly how you feel. Its the second day of mine, and from about 2 to 4 this morning i sat on the couch and cried. I took 4 ibuprofen, and finally they kicked in. I try telling my Dr.( a man) whats going on, and he acts like I'm making it up..like I'm some dope head who just wants pills or something. Somehow men need to feel the pain!.. sorry I don't have an answer for your question. I guess we just have to grin and bear it. I hope you feel better, or will soon. Thanks for letting me vent. : )
