Well I will have to say this is for those ladies out there that share these symptoms every month....painful monthly cramps.
I am one who tries to smile through the pain for that seven days of utter hell. I found it hard to sit for long periods of time, stand to quickly and yes, even had a hard time sleeping. I resorted to seeking out some ideas on the internet to help out and I found one that I just had to pass along.
Calcium supplements....crazy as it sounds, you have to give it a try. The blog I found recommended 600 mgs 3 times a day. I thought they were crazy, until I tried it. Now, I am not saying it completely rids you of those painful monthly cramps, but it decreases the intensity of them tenfold. I was able to sleep, I was not eating motrin or midol every 4 hours to curb or chase the pain away, and I was able to function without wanting to run over another car that drove in my path.
Not only that...I found calcium supplement pills for $1.79 for 60 pills. Think about how much you pay out for pain relievers every month, I did and what a difference. Ladies I am not saying ignore possible medical problems and not see a doctor, I am saying just try it and see. 1000 mgs twice a day helped me.....its safe and its not an overdose of pain relievers. What could it hurt to try????
