Answers:
You are a bit limited, not least by your age!. Anti-inflammatories would I suppose be first choice, assuming that they can be tolerated in adequate doses, this might also be a problem if you have a delicate stomach or are a smallish 14 years old!. Antispasmodics might also help the cramps!. If both of these fail and you wish to avoid the pill, the progesterone norithisterone might be an alternative!. To get any of these items you will have to go and chat with your GP!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If it's really bad you could see if your Dr will prescribe you with Mefenamic acid; this is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug which is sometimes very good for period pain!.
At your age, the pill should only really be considered as a last resort!.!.!.the longer you can leave off pumping your body with hormones, the better!.

You could try Feminax ULTRA; it contains naproxen (another NSAID) It works by reducing the production of prostaglandins, which in turn reduce the contractions of the uterus!. This drug also causes less gastrio-intestinal disturbances which are common in NSAID'sWww@Answer-Health@Com

I would suggest going on the pill even at your age!. I started at that age because of my horrible cramps and irregular periods!. It immediately helped and now a days the pill is so much safer than it used to be that you don't have to worry about it being dangerous!. My periods were so bad that now I'm afraid to come off of it for fear that my cramps will return!. I would look into it if I were you and it also can help if you have any acne problems!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

That's the worst thing well what you should do is by some feminax they are really good and you should take 2 or 3(at the same time) depending what age you are about they are really good and help me alot!. also try sitting down at one place and watch tv or distract yourself it really helps you not notice the icky felling you can get Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hi, like you, I have suffered this to the point of collapse for a while!. The pain was like a red hot poker tearing through my insides and I was very sick as well!. I went to my doctor and he prescribed mefenamic acid - what a relief they are great!.

See your doctor there is so much that can be tried now!.

Good luck!.

urgh *hugs* mine don't go away either :( though it did help when i was on the pill (and i was on it around your age, but it was to make me regular as well as helping the pain), my doctor gave me mefenamic acid and i have been taking them for years now (so yeah i have to say they don't work as well anymore :s) and they really did help, with other problems i had (dizziness, nausea etc) tooWww@Answer-Health@Com

I know how that feels as I too suffer from really really painful periods!.
I was prescribed Mefenamic Acid from my GP but I had really bad side effects and I was throwing up constantly!
The only thing I found that worked effectively was going on the pill!.
For now you could try a hot bath and take some sleeping tablets afterwards to try and sleep it off!.
Good LuckWww@Answer-Health@Com

What I would suggest youdo, first of all, is to go to the hospital!.!.!. there, you will peobably know what is really wrong with you!. Do you do some physical exercices!? do you stand for long time during the day!.!.!.!? I some times have pain in my back, due to all these!. but as the tummy is concerned, darling, you realy need to go to the hospital!.!.!.
Take care of your self, health doesn't woth anything!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

The very first period i had which i have to say i started around your age was horrible!. It wasn't just in my tummy but all in my legs too like grinding pains!. My mom took me to the doctor and he put me on the pill!. And it really really really helped the pain!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
