Yea i get really bad ones to. My first three years of having my period i didnt have any cramps and then all of a sudden they hit me.....And now i start getting them at night....its always when im sleeping and then i dont get enough sleep because i cant go back to sleep.....what do i do?

If you get them at night, here is what I would recommend. Take whatever medication works the best for you. Then get two heating pads, put one on your abdomen and one on your lower back. Prop up a bunch of pillows behind your back so that you are like half sitting up. Then turn on the TV; a favorite movie is the best.

That is the only thing that would work for me...I hope it helps.

I don't really get cramps, thanfully. But when I do exercise is what helps me best. Maybe take a walk or if you don't feel like going out just strech in your room and do some aerobics or cardio, perhaps even yoga. Things like that seem to work for me.

when I get cramps I just take midol, or eat chocolate because my moms remedy doesn't work! drinking Ginger tea or Chamomile is her solution. However taking Acidophulus might work.

Lots of water can help. Eating both fish and bannanas (not together and no idea why, but it does)- ibuprofine(sp) is a good idea if they get really bad.

heat on your lower abdomen and some incense worked wonders for a friend of mine

Excercise actually does help because it helps the blood flow. If your legs bother you during it drink milk or take calcium pills. Most birth controls make it hurt less and tea also helps alot. Staying hydrated is also important so drink lots of water.

Exercise is the best way. Seriously.

Excercuse makes it feel so much more awful, mine are so bad that I get pain killers for them, but I hate taking them, they make my mind woosey, so instead of that I lay on my stomache and fall asleep as much as humanly possible.

i like tampax compax tampons... they are small and fit into little places easily, so you can carry them in small purses... I don't get cramps that bad, so I tend to ignore them...

I put a heating pad on my abdomen and another on my lower back. It helps SOOO much. I vowed never to take midol again because it didn't help the pain...all it did was help get rid of the bloating by making me pee every half hour. I typically take naproxen (aleve), which is a powerful muscle relaxer. I also now take some sort of prescription stomach meds to keep my tummy happy. Typically when I'm laying down, I keep one leg extended and the other foot pulled up to my knee...that's the most comfortable. I also walk around periodically.


The BEST thing to do is to get your mind off of it as much as possible. If it's nighttime and you're trying to fall asleep, put on the TV...if it's during the day, hang out with friends or do something fun.

How do you rid of the pain and the suffering? I got my period right now and the cramps are so bad right now! I try Midol, it works until it wears off or sometimes i try coffee, b/c of the caffeine or sometimes chocolate. It works, but until like i said, it wears off. Do you have any other solution to get rid of the pain?

Ow I think I found my "sweet spot". My cramps are gone, but my foot and thigh are in horrible pain.

I had to get prescription ibuprofen from the doctor and I also use a heating pad or rice pillow to soothe the pain.

my period started when i was ten. and it was a nightmare. i had it 3 times a month with an INMENSELY heavy flow. i wore 5 undies, an overnight maxi pad, and shorts (if i was wearing a skirt), and it still leaked. so i went to teh doc and he gave me birth-control pills (even if i wasnt having sex) and it gradually got better. but i was in that really bad stage for like 2 years before i went and got the pill. now i have a regular period that lasts 2 and sometimes 3 days (thank god)

When I get bad cramps I take two midol and some times it helps me to put a heat pack on my stomach. If the cramps aren't too bad for me to move I find that exercise helps too.Talk to your doctor if you think your level of discomfort during your period is abnormal.
