Period pains....

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh i'm dying, i'm dying

Anything you laydees do which makes life just a wee bit more bareable, I get cramps really bad, am on extra strong tablets for them and i'm still crunched up in the foetal position with a hot water bottle strapped to my tum

I was given some tablets from the doctor....there called ponstanforte.....there a pain killer for period pains and they work

have not had them for years ..periods that is

but i used to have really hot baths but found moving around better for me

go 4 a walk it help's me (even better if you go get sweets)!

Get pregnant?
Get the Depo injection?

Seriously though apart from some super strength paracetamol and codeine or prescription painkillers and a hot water bottle I can't suggest anything. Fingers crossed I've never suffered from bad period cramps. I do cramp up on the day I ovulate ( too much information I know, Sorry) but at least that's only for 24 hours or so.

Thanks guys

Justlou, I am on tablets from the doctor, they are hyoscine butylbromide (supposed to stop the cramping) and also on painkillers, co-codimol.

Inca i've been in the bath this mornin for 2 hours and just got back from taking the dogs out, moving about does help, thank you

Lilly i've been out to the shop and am sat with a box of choccies! lol.

I actually found doing exercises helped ease the pain, rather than sitting still, not a problem with me anymore lol.

Mo

lol, pregnant, I have 3 dogs and a son already, that's enuff for me!

Injection, I was on this a while back, made me moody as hell, permenant PMT never again

Lucky you no cramps, bad ones run in my family (thanks mum!) lol

I always reach for the strongest pain killers I can find as soon as there is any sign of pain and I keep taking them till it's gone...lol...that usually does the trick!

In a way I will be so glad when they are all over Maybe I should just go get everything whipped out now, I don't need no more kids, I can just get more dogs!
