all of us females probably dread the time of the month. in this discussion i would just like to know how everyone eases their cramps. i am not a big fan of pills so i prefer to do it naturally. me myself i get the mentral cramp patches and dink nutmeg and hot water this only need to be done about 3 times a day and the nutmeg in the hot water works almost instantly. i look forward to seeing the responses i get..thanks

I hate crimson wave days most especially cramps! There were times it's so painful that I could die. Sometimes, I even cry. I take pills for my cramps. I also use hot water bottles. Anyway, I read in some magazines that skipping soda and exercising a week before the monthly period prevent cramps. Reduce caffeine and salt intake. (:

I'm amazed no one else has replied to your discussion! I thought cramps were a common symptom of menstruation! 
Anyway, I suffer from bad cramps. Usually I take Advil Liquid Gels. They really do work wonders. But, if I don't want to take any pills, I use a heating pad. It helps to ease the tense muscles. I just plug it in an outlet, place it on my abdomen and voila! The pain isn't half as bad. Good luck! 
Periods can be quite the punishment.
