I hate having those- I rarely have those but when i do it really hurts- it even happens before i have my period-- maybe it's a warning..it's just an excruciating pain, like someone is crushing you inside and you can't even do anything to relieve it. Just lie on the bed helpless.

I hate it too! Why can't men have the cramps instead LOL. But when I cannot take the pain anymore, I usually take midol to relieve the pain :) Drinking hot beverages also helps me. hope it works for you. Happy mylotting.

If only men can have it instead of us.. But it will never be. I rarely have cramps anyway.. but i feel sad for this friend of mine who has cramps always when she has her period, she looks really sick.

I hate that, too. I'm really envious of girls who don't have it and don't understand it (some of them even say that we're just making it up)... at least once on two months, I have ridiculously big pain in my tummy... sometimes I just lie in the bed doing nothing because it hurts so bad... but I can't skip school or work because of this... gahhhh... a nightmare.

I am also glad that i rarely have cramps, but i do hate it when i experience it at school ,since it's hard to concentrate on anything. I usually have cramps if i take a cold shower or drink sour fruits..

I hate menstrual cramps as well! But so far I have not experienced it for a long time. I am starting to have it though recently I find application of hot water bag on the lower quadrant of the abdomen relieves pain instead of a pain reliever.

Oh, yes, hot drinks and putting hot water over it can help.. i wonder why.. I wonder why cramps even happen.. Is it because of the dirty blood.. accumulating? I don't have it often though..fortunately.

Every morning when you wake up, take time, at least fifteen minutes, to do prone position with your knees up on your chest and your hands up flat on the bed. :)

Why, does that help at all? Did it work for you? i barely have time to do anything when i wake up though, since it's usually school day and i have to hurry up..

Yeah! I hate that too! Just rest and if it really hurt, just take a pain pill.

Yeah, all we can do is rest or drink hot drinks since it does help..a little bit. A good sleep can cure it.
