Question for the LADIES. :p Sorry guys!

The trick is to stop the pain before it happens. You are feeling cramping, and you need to have something IN your system before it happens.

So, next cycle? I would begin taking some sort of a NSAID 2 days before you begin your cycle.

If you research the psyiology (sic) of a muscle cramping, you will see that having any sort of NSAID- I would go generic, I am pretty sure Walgreens sells one, prolly CVS, too, in your body BEFORE the pain starts helps tremendously. My doctor told me if I was dealing with the pain THEN taking something, there wasn't much relief to be found.

While all the natural remedies are great, if your cramping is like you say it is, it isn't going to do too much in your situation.

And, I dealt with this for years, until I went on the BCP. I missed at least one day from school, had vomiting, diahrea, headaches, etc. There wasn't anything more serious wrong with me...I just had a heavy cycle.

I would, next month try taking something ahead of time, and see what it does.
