dream thief 2,038 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 pain killers and a hot water bottle usually works for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexi.K 3,161 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I might be wrong, but blood thinners might actually help you ease the pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seokii 3,424 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Ibuprofen helps with cramps. lots of cheap thin pads help with blood. i get the small ones and use multiple if i need to. um, if weed's legal where you live, that helps lol. hot water bottles/heated pads help a lot. also taking a nap, usually my cramps are way better after I wake up. So try and take a nap if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vortex 7,015 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 basically a bunch of painkillers and a hotpack, but even with that it sometimes still hurts for me... periods are such a pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turn it up! 2,391 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 If yours is as bad (or worse) than mine no pain relievers will help I used to sneak my moms 800mg ibuprofen she was prescribed after surgery to help relieve my cramps and that shit would only work for 1-2 hours Nothing has ever helped me except for going on birth control and despite BC giving me a bunch of annoying side effects like weight gain/water retention I just deal with it cause nothing is as bad as my cramps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nsfw 5,493 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 heat! hot shower or heating pad what the other commenter said about weed helps too, or just cbd (doesnt get you high but helps pain) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grape Soda 12,004 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I use a tens unit. Helps alot. Apparently transexamic acid helps with heavy periods(only thing that will actually work besides bc) but it has to be prescribed by a doctor.

enchante 4,542 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I love taking long hot baths during my period, it really relaxes the muscles. Otherwise, lots of painkillers, drinking plenty of fluids and applying heat to whatever area hurts the most. Exercise does really help too.

halcyonights 400 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 painkillers. i always carry ibuprofen with me in case period cramps begin. also breathing techniques and heating pad help me a lot. my period pains are so severe sometimes, it really sucks that we're like this while some women never go through cramps.

Wonsungies 115 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Depending on if your country/culture allows it, and if its affordable, look into birth control to manage terrible cramps. That got me through it when I was younger. Nowadays I kind of plan ahead. I learn to recognize my premenstural symptoms (different for everyone) and I do the following: - take ibuprofen beforehand. That way you wont have to deal with the symptoms as they start. - cut down on sugar/caffeine a few days before cramps. Anything that dehydrates you, you should try to reduce right before the cramps start. - drink lots of water before and during your period. This helps with body temp as I tend to overheat when I get cramps. - make sure your bowels are clear (TMI I know, sorry, but if you get constiapted during your period it makes cramps hurt more) Also a few things to do during cramping to help: - lay down on your back and prop your legs up. this relieves stress on your body. If you youre not in class/work or anyting. - If you are prone to panic attacks I might suggest using ice packs instead of heat packs. I normally start getting panic attacks when I cramp up too bad because of body temp rising. So Ice/cold water/fans and breathing techniques helps me manage that until the medicine kicks in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
