Exactly HOW TF do you guys deal with painful period cramps. Mine just started and I don't think I'll be seeing tomorrow's Sun rise ATP. Gimme unhinged tips idc. I want these GONE.
Girls and ladies, please go get checked for endometriosis. I’m 19 and I have advanced endometriosis that’s compressed a lumboscral nerve and reducing my mobility. I also have diaphragmatic endometriosis. Over the last year I’ve barely been able to walk or even work properly. Please don’t let it get this bad and advocate as much as you have ...... 1 reply
I mostly just deal with the pain or take Tylenol which doesn’t always help me. BUT lately I’ve been drinking ginger/turmeric tea and it gets rid of my cramps for a few hours, I drink this for a living when I’m on my period now. reply
There's really no getting rid of them entirely without a doctor's aid.
To alleviate them though- Rice sock. Or heating pad / hot water bottle if you have one of those. I never did so, rice sock xD
[exactly what it sounds like. It's a large sock filled with plain, uncooked rice and tied off. toss that sucker in the microwave for a minute and you've...... reply
I don’t I numb myself as much as I can then sleep to make the days go by quicker. Im currently using Equate Extra Strength Acetaminophen 500mg Gelcaps. That or anything higher than 500mg. Also fill the tub up and put two clean hand weights in it or arm and thigh weights then relax using the weights to stay submerged. reply
I let my cat sit on my stomach, and it helps me relax. I also take Midol, I drink hot tea, and use heating pads on both my stomach and back.

Take medicine (Mine is a mix of acetaminophen, caffeine, and aspirin. it's called Pamprin Max pain + energy) the day BEFORE you're expecting your period. (I get that weird not-quite period but I'm-on-my-period sensation before mine hits, and my joint pain gets a hella lot worse.)
I take two right before mine starts since mine are very very consiste...... reply
I do yoga in bed—if you search on YouTube, there really are specific exercises for that—and it always makes me feel better. (I know everyone is different, what with hormones and possible health issues, but regular exercise DOES make you feel more comfortable during your period.) Eat dark chocolate. Rub your belly, keep that area warm, and drink...... reply
I rarely get cramps, but when I do, it feels like my abs are torn open. A couple of times, it hurt so much that I screamed and groaned as if possessed (Irl am very quiet). It was loud enough that my grandpa from 2 houses next to ours came to my room to check on me. It really hurt.
Same with most people, I like pressing a hot water bottle against ...... reply
