Ladies of GFY. (men don't read)

Below are the things that I have found worked for me, you may find they help too.
#

Use more natural forms of collecting menstrual blood using a less chemical based product can really help. At least try a disposable pad that is chlorine free, perfume free and hypoallergenic (most health food stores carry them), there are also organic disposable pads and tampons on the market. Alternatives like washable pads or the Keeper are the best, in my opinion.
#

Exercise gently involving the abdominal region, or walking
#

Heat on the abdomen - the old standby - try a hot bath or a hot water bottle
#

Essential oil of lavender rubbed into crampy areas feels great. Lavender is known for its relaxing calming effect
#

Distraction. If your discomfort is mild, trying doing an activity that takes a lot of attention, like a good movie, playing a sport, etc.
#

Raspberry leaf tea. This is considered to be a good uterine tonic; some women find that drinking it before their periods helps with cramps. Follow the directions on the box. I haven't tried this one but know some women that have.
#

Try taking a calcium supplement regularly (I take even more during my cycle) and eating high calcium foods - this one worked for me.
#

Eating lighter and healthier around menstruation -- less grease, less starch, more fruits and vegetables.
#

Ginkgo - try a ginkgo supplement, there is some evidence that this can help - it also makes you smarter!

Do you have any plain Ibuprophen?

I sometimes find laying down and massaging my abdomen helps.

If you can stand it, go for a walk.

I've been blessed, I don't have PMS and rarely have cramps. Then again I'm a jogger and that helps.

But sometimes, you can't do shit about cramps so you just have to skate it off.

If your man is up for it, have sex. Orgasm usually eliminates cramping.

Best
answer
ever.



Btw ladies, if your man isn't up for it, you're with the wrong man.

My eyes are covered, don't worry.

Yea the sex thing would work but we don't have time as we have a football game to attend in a hour I told TF that we needed to have sex to get rid of my cramps and I don't think he liked that.

Ice covered it nicely.

But sex really does help somehow.

WTF is he gay?

I think it was how I put it. " Will you hurry up and just fuck me so these cramps will go away?" wasn't the best way to ask.

I am not suposed to be in here, but since I am I will take a shot at it.....

Take a hammer and slam it upon you thumb, I am guess the pain from that will make the cramps go away..........

Or you can take birth control pills daily and never have a period again, what I mean is do not take the placibos, take the real thing on them off days, estregin everyday will turn off the valve....

Hope I helped, bloody whore..

Then take care of the problem yourself, girl.

Yup he is gay... I'd be nekkid by the time you said "Will you"

Nice list Ice, I'm going to have to try some of those.

haha exactly...

Nice knowing ya TurboFace.. you are not needed anymore
