Dysmennorhea is a very painful menstration. I suffer from this and it is horrible. Any suggestions for pain relief? Tylenol and Ibuprofen just do not seem to help.

Such this is such an open forum, may I suggest you join Gather if you are not already a member there. I have a group especially designed to deal with questions such as this. It is called, "Women's Health" - what we don't discuss with our doctors and sometimes not even our friends. On Gather my identity is witchoftupper underthemoonlight and I would be most honored to come and have you share space in this most sacred and safe group. Your Sister/Friend ~donna

hi, I too suffer from this dysmennorhea... but i dont frequently take pain killers..ur system might get immuned with these medicines...try doing a not-so-hot compress..it will ease the pain. Or try lying down with the lower portion of your body elevated (have your feet lean on the wall)...well @least it will ease the pain temporarily..i hope i made sense
