Do you get really bad cramps?!
Question: Do you get really bad cramps?
Once in a while I get my period and despite taking pms meds, light exercise, and avoiding salt all I can do is lie in bed. I can't even eat all day and feel like it's such a wasted day.
What can I do to relieve such bad cramps when they happen?

I used to get HORRIBLE cramps every month on the first day of my period, so I feel your pain. If PMS medication and light exercise doesn't do it then you should try using a heating pad, water bottle filled with warm water, or take a bath. Also, try eating bananas and/or other food that is rich in potassium. Or you could even take potassium pills, that's what I did when Midol didn't work. I hope this helps. If not, then you should go to an OB/GYN and talk to them about it and they will most likely be able to help you with the cramps. Good luck!
