Re: Ways of Relieving Menstrual Cramps

chocolate?

22

Re: Ways of Relieving Menstrual Cramps

doesn’t chocolate have caffeine which makes it worse for some people

there should be a day in the year where men get to experience all the symptoms of this, and it should be the most painful, along with all the moodiness,emotional highs and lows that come with it. and you don’t get to use any midol just for fun :p…oh i wish i wish :@:

Same here. The best thing ever & a warm blanket in an extremely warm room. Heat pads make a hell of a difference as well.

Evening Primrose oil or caps.

Re: Ways of Relieving Menstrual Cramps

i hate the pain ... i usually have it 2-3 days and its so frustrating because i dont feel like doing anything at all and i cant concentrate on studies which makes me even more stressed out and then i have lots of studying to do after the periods are over and makes me more stressed ... :(:(

Re: Ways of Relieving Menstrual Cramps

cooking an egg in milk would be scramble egg....how can you drink it? or are you making custard?

32

Re: Ways of Relieving Menstrual Cramps

I just take a Nurofen.. a glass of ice cold orange juice while I’m waiting for it to take effect is also nice :blush:

Re: Ways of Relieving Menstrual Cramps

Physical pain you can control by taking tonnes of advils...but it is the crazy mood swings have no control over...one minute you are a happy chap and next minute ready to kill someone.

34

Re: Ways of Relieving Menstrual Cramps

you put one egg in one cup of milk - yes you can say custard-like

35

Re: Ways of Relieving Menstrual Cramps

Tips that have helped me that you ladies might benefit from
- Drinking cold glass of milk and definitely eating something not to heavy but enough to fill you.
- Heating pads are life savers
- Ibrophen are also great.
- Walking around, staying active instead of just laying in bed even though thats all you wanna do.
- Exercise- not too extensive- like walking
- Pineapples!!

Re: Ways of Relieving Menstrual Cramps

Although it doesn't really help with cramps, I still crave it during that time. A little bit of caffeine won't hurt. right? :)

37

Re: Ways of Relieving Menstrual Cramps

those mood changes are so hard to handle, hate them. they happen right before the period, during it, and immediately after it. you’re spot on with how i feel too about all this :bummer:

Re: Ways of Relieving Menstrual Cramps

**I don't know how painful are menstrual cramps.
Never felt that pain.
Lucky Me !
No mood swings for me, I'm happier than usual during tht period... (don't know why)

But this is what my friend does :
*Heating pads are a MUST
*She tries to lie in different positions.
