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.

Curl up in a hot shower for a while, that's what my ex used to do, she would sleep laying curled up in a hot shower when hers were really really bad, I do the same when I get a bad bug etc

@AlphaPuppy tried it. Was still nice but didn't help otherwise.

@EllaDisenchanted that's a shame, the running water usually helps relax muscular spasms. If it's so bad it's stopping you from being able to do normal everyday things then it's time to speak to your doctor about your options, possibly different birth control or stronger medication/combination of medication..

You could also try smoking a joint if all else fails

@AlphaPuppy Already seeing her about it all, just a matter of trying things to help and no luck yet. Pot's not an option for me. I don't like things that make my brain fuzzy.

@EllaDisenchanted Well I can only say best of luck to you and I hope things improve soon

@AlphaPuppy So do I, mostly for poor hubby's sake.
