Cramps Options

[S-Majere]

I missed yet another day of university due to period cramps so severe I couldn't even move out of my bed.

The pain came in waves, made me feel physically sick, sent my legs numb and reduced me to a weeping pile of squealing woman even after wrapping myself in an electric blanket and swallowing pain killers from 6am to noon today.

I get this once every few months, but I think it is because I am on a 35 day cycle (the average is 28 I believe) that makes it so bad. My mom wants me to see a doctor over this and I'm a little anxious to be honest.

Has anyone else had anything similar to this? (If you have, you have my utmost sympathy). How have you dealt with it?

[superficial]

I've have extreme severe cramps that caused me to not even go to school. Through my personal experience, once I came home and laid down to rest, on my tummy, the pain stopped. My mother also told me that if you take a hot shower when you're having horrible cramps, it'll make your stomach pain go away. It helps to relax the muscles Also, eating bananas can help lower the pains, putting a hot towel on your stomach helps, and try to drink less caffeine because that worsens the cramps.

I think you should see a doctor though because I've never had any leg numbness nor have I been extremely sick. It's good that you only get it every few months rather than having it every month. That would suck ass. I hope you can find out why your pain is so horribly bad.
