period cramps >.<
Every month I seem to get like really bad period cramps... This month they seem worse than usual... It's making me feel sick, faint, and just unable to do anything.. Painkillers don't seem to having like much effect... I had to come home from my shopping trip with mum due to them... Does anyone have any way that can get rid of these cramps that works... I have a very big and important day tomorrow a day that means like a real alot to me and I dont want these bitch of a cramps to mean I do not enjoy tomorrow....

Re: period cramps >.<
I have period cramps too and sometimes they become really unbearable. I was told that food that are rich in potassium, help reduce cramps. So eat foods like bananas, leafy greens like spinach, Dried fruits like apricots or raisins, etc. Try to avoid caffeine, as that can increase cramps. Also, I noticed on days I am active I don't really suffer much from these cramps, I don't know if being active helps or it just diverts my mind and so I don't feel them as much.
This thread has some wonderful tips that have helped me. You could take a look at it. I hope it helps you too and you feel better soon. :hug: |

Re: period cramps >.<
I don't know how to make them significantly better before tomorrow, but in the future, I'd consider getting on birth control to manage your period symptoms. It helps significantly, and makes them shorter, lighter, and with less pain. For one day, I'm not as sure. I'd get plenty of sleep, and make sure you're taking care of your body the best way possible. Painkillers are good, but remember that some make you bleed harder which may not always be helpful (for me, Ibuprofen makes me bleed a lot harder when I'm menstruating and it creates more discomfort). Also, consider what you're drinking. Some things work as diuretics (coffee) which may increase cramps; however, they may also relieve some of the pressure you get from water, so that could also help. Sorry I'm not terribly helpful; I've been on birth control for six years, so I haven't experienced a "real period" in a while. :nosweat:

Re: period cramps >.<
I would go to your doctor and get some advice. I get them REALLY bad every month. Like to the point where I don't want to get out of bed for the 3 to 7 days I am on it. :'(
Praying for you. :hug: Blessings, Army Wife :wub: |
Re: period cramps >.<
I might have to though the weird thing is I have the cramps but no period :/

Re: period cramps >.<
I always get period cramps, and rarely on the days where I actually have my period. I went to the doctor and apparently that is normal. I recommend you go, but I don't think it's anything to worry about :)
And to help the pain, buy a wheat bag, it's more effective than a hot water bottle. Try to relax more, watch videos or something, have a bath. Green tea also helps! |
Re: period cramps >.<
Do you mind me asking what your diets like.....if you don't wanna share that's fine..... I just know when I changed my diet my pains practically went away after having severe ones !
