Oh,
menstrual cramps are the worst. They seriously, seriously are. For a pain that’s “normal,” (in other words, pain that doesn’t signify something being terribly wrong with your body,) they
hurt like hell: much worse than someone who doesn’t get bad cramps (your annoyingly lucky friend, every guy you will ever meet for the rest of your life as long as you live) can truly understand. The pain can be so debilitating that sometimes you end up
missing school, work, or fun social activities in favor of lying miserably on your bed, wishing you could cut out your own uterus. (Anyone who’s ever had truly bad cramps knows that’s not an exaggeration!)
The very worst thing about menstrual cramps is that they happen every single month, for the rest of your life. In other words, the future is pretty bleak if you don’t figure out an effective strategy for controlling the pain of cramps, rather than letting cramps control your life. What you need, my friend is menstrual cramps relief!

Can You Trust Him?
I get cramps that hurt so bad I broke down and cried at school, and I am not a dramatic person “usually” but it help to have more potassium in you diet, so try eating a few bananas.
I have very very bad cramps, the worst pain ever.I get headaces and i also vomit the first two days every time. Now i just use midol and also a heating pad and that works good
I get crippling cramps. In addition to these tips I’ve learned a trick that helps also… when cramps start sit on the toilet and push! Imagine your giving birth and push like you’re trying to push out a baby! It sounds crazy but it works. Cramps are your uterus contracting in an effort to expel, pushing helps the process along.
Ever since I started my period, I have gotten excruciating cramps that keep me bed ridden. I tried birth control once but I had to stop because I couldn’t function on it, it made my head spin which made me sick. But last year I found that heat is an absolute godsend! Hot baths (or even just hot showers if you’re short on time), electric heating pads, the heating sacks you put in the microwave, stick on heating pads, anything, just get some heat on there!
I was having bad cramps, rage, and heavy mood swings. I had been on the pill for about 10 years and I found something that finally helped. Along with all the remedies in this article the best thing I found was so take a seasonal birth control pill. 4 periods a year and even during my period my symptoms lessened. It may not be for everyone, I was sceptical at first because the thought of not getting it every monh freaked me out a bit but its the best thing I’ve tried. Having fewer periods is not only beneficial for ur wallet (less money on tampons, pads, etc) but its beneficial for ur sanity and sex life.
I was having really bad pms: pain, cramping, headaches, even nausea and vomiting. I also had this rage some months…I’m talking mood swings that even scared me! My doctor told me to take an extra Vitamin B complex supplement, stay away from sugar and salt, and to exercise. I’ve been doing what he recommended for a year now, and I have to say it has helped tremendously!!
