One for the ladies! Soooooooo.......when THAT whole bundle of happiness comes every month....

What do you do for reaaaaallly massively bad cramps?

I get all over cramping and very bad pain right on my spine. It's bad enough that I took one of the pain pills from my tooth extractions and it barely did anything.

So what do you do?

I've tried hot bath, cold bath, heating pad, ice packs, coffees, teas, pain meds, oils, incense and perfumes and it's just not doing anything.

Did you go to the doctor and talk about whether you have endometriosis?
@SW-User the only way to positively diagnose that is surgically..minor but still its.cutting a hole in your abdomen. Thats why my doctor didnt prescribe it, fucking cunt, and fuck kaiser.....
@SW-User Not something that is too easy to check but there was a huge checklist she used to narrow things down. It's just very bad clinical PMS with labor level pain.

@lulaluboo I think you need a new doctor. I was diagnosed and it didn't require surgery. To get some relief from it, you can get surgery and it can be done laparoscopically. But there is a 50/50 chance of it returning. There are hormone shots you can get that will trick your body into thinking it's in menopause. Then, the 3rd way is what I took. Taking the pill and jumping from pack to pack, so you don't get your period for long stretches of time. Getting pregnant also gives you relief from it.

@EllaDisenchanted Well, if nothing she suggests is working, what about just giving your body a break by using the lowest dose of the pill and not allowing your body to have a period for a long stretch of time?
@SW-User I'm already on the pill and I still get my period and equally as bad as always. But I'm going to request an implant birth control I've heard helps.

@EllaDisenchanted What I was suggesting was talking to your doctor about NOT taking the week of placebo pills but instead, jumping into a new pill pack. Do it for 9 months. It will be as if you were pregnant. No period. It gives your body a chance to recover.
