When you get cramps from your you know what, how do you handle it?

When we get cramps, it's different for each and everyone of us. I've known some people who, when they get cramps hurt so bad that they have to take medicine to keep them from falling to the ground. I guess the best thing to do is to consult a doctor to see what ur body actually needs.

Well now when I get my periods I use a heated up water bottle with warm water in it and put it on my stomach and lay down.......

I found this on a website and i am posting the ones i find would be most effective in your case plus extra:

*Increase exercise. This will improve blood and oxygen circulation throughout the body, including the pelvis.
*Try not using tampons. Many women find tampons increase cramping.
*Avoid red meat and fatty foods.
*Avoid caffeine. It constricts blood vessels and increases tension.
*Take Midol or Pamprin with the symptoms.
Extra Help:
*Meditate, get a massage.
*Drink ginger root tea (especially if you experience fatigue).
*Put cayenne pepper on food. It is a vasodilator and improves circulation.
*Ovarian Kung Fu alleviates or even eliminates menstrual cramps and PMS, it also ensures smooth transition through menopause
-Hope This Helps!!
*Oh yeah and taking hot baths helps also!

Relaxation, Tylenol, and Chocolate

Well if I am at school I just deal with it and get medicine. If I am at home I lie down or sit most of the day.

A long hot bath did wonders for me.

hot water bath n then massage with aurvedic oil or a medicine...thats the best remedy..it works instantly...

I don't get massive cramps but when i get them i just let them pass, and when i get home i take a hot bath or shower, and then drink something cold like milk :)

I got them right now. D:
I say took some midol and tried to relax.

I get a rice pack I know sounds wierd, but its a sock with rice in it, and you just heat it and up I put it on my stomache and its helps, If I am at school I just get a midol and drink lots of water.

Hope I helped :)

I get irritating and just wanna sit and lie down all day

i take tylenol it helps a little bit. and unfortunately when i get cramps i get into really bad moods and snap at everybody for no reason. my advice: stay quiet when you get your period because basically everything tends to aggravate you and drink a LOT

take advil with you and when you feel sick, put it
in your mouth and swollow it while drinking water, I do it when I get sick

Take pain relievers and try not to move as much as possible.

take a hot shower or bath. also take 2 advil/motrin and just sit and relax.

I hate them so badly!!! Just about everyone has them. If you have them at school, just calm down. Trying getting to the nurse if possible. At home, take a warm bath and take Midol. It works magic.

Take an Advil. Works every time. ;D

We get them to due some sort of acidic buildup…I read this in the newspaper a year or so back, and I don’t remember exactly what it is, but if you take one ibuprofen a day for 3-4 days before it starts, cramps go away. I tried it, did it for two months, and I actually don’t get cramps anymore.

I just usually lay on my stomach until the cramps go away. I don't like moving when I have them. :3

get my mind off it, get busy with doing something that has nothing to do with it, it works for some people. including me.

I have a heat and massage pad that I use. I also take Tylenol or Ibuprofen.

When out I find deep slow breathing and you consentrate on each breath. If at home hot water bottle and early night. Mind you I have had mine for 20 years now so I know it pretty well. What I find hard is those 10 days before when I ache and get into bad moods and crying for no reason that drives me mad.

i turn into a cring devil

Actually, I rarely have cramps. When I do, I just tough it out because they're never that bad o-o Weird, I know.
My sister, on the other hand, cramps really bad and she can't do anything but lie down and cry. If she takes midol, she gets sick later. Sometimes I wish I could switch places with her so she wouldn't have to go through that.

Well, I ushally get a heating pad and lay that on my stomach. I get some ibprophin (pain killer) and lie down. I dont go to school if its a HUGE cramp.

Mine aren't too bad, so I just leave them alone :P but if it gets too bad, I drink a lotta water

i have no cramps...sometimes, yes but i don't feel it most of the time :P

Lots of Ibuprofen.

Mine get so bad. You just have to sit down and sort of bend over. Take Advil or something to help.

Well, if it's a school day, I personally just stay home from school. Mine always starts in the morning, so I know right away if I have it. I don't want to sound like a wimp who can't handle pain, but I don't even try to go to school. Ibuprofen or Advil doesn't work for me, because I also get lots of nausea along with cramps (so it basically feels like the equivalent of the stomach flu). Exercise doesn't help either because any type of physical activity, including simple tasks like walking, makes me feel like I'm going to throw up. It may sound stupid, but I really can't do anything. I just sit at home and wait for it to be over. All I can really say to anyone with the same problems is to avoid junk food.

I sleep and put a heating pad where it hurts.

ibuprofen and a hot bath

A plastic bottle with hot water placed on ur abdomen. Or- sit with ur face down on your belly,on the bed. Don't eat sugars just lots of liquids,fruits and vegetables. Try not to take pills for every minor pain. The body gets used 2 them,and in time u can become imune to medicines. So when you will really need it, these pills will be useless. If the crams are too painfull get up and take a walk.
