Menstrual cramps. CRIPPLING!?!


Question:

Menstrual cramps. CRIPPLING!?

Ok, so here's the deal. I have crippling menstrual cramps. I have 2 stomach disorders that contribute to MORE pain each month. last month it was so bad that I was on the floor screaming, puking and the like. It was pretty intense. The thing is this: I cannot take pills. I can't take tylenol, advil, aspirin, midol, neproxen, anything. I have tried heating pads, i've tried a hot bath, i've tried excersize.. nothing. Nothing will work. Now my period is due to start tomorrow and I'm almost in tears, i'm so afraid of having another horrible day of agony tomorrow. Does anybody know anything other than pills and heat that could by some wonderful miracle help a little bit?

To those asking questions:
-The stomach problems I have are IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and an Ovarian Cyste.
-And the reason I can't take pills is because my body doesn't tolerate chemicals well, I get vertigo.


Answers:

You said you can't take pills, but what you've specified were painkillers. Are you able to take birth control? It seriously helps with cramps--mine weren't that bad, but I used to be useless every month when I started, now I can actually function. If it's just the pill format that trouble you , there's the patch or depo shots. Talk with your doctor about it. You shouldn't have to live with that.
