exercise (even though its at the top of my list of things i DONT want to do while surfing the crimson tide) walking helps, sit-ups, just exercise in general will help. endorphins released from your brain when you exercise act as an analgesic. (i.e. painkiller)
also, if your significant other isnt grossed out by the idea, sex can help cramps too. same idea as exercise, releases endorphins into your body. (PROTECTED SEX because you CAN get pregnant on your period!!!)
taking any of those over the counter medications works for some people, not for others. for example Midol doesnt work for me because of the caffeine in it. (caffeine just makes my cramps worse)
cramps are just your uterine muscles flexing and unflexing to shed its inner lining so heat will often work to relax the muscles. an electric heating pad, a hot facecloth on your abdomen, a warm bath or shower also work.
another way to ease the pain is to find contributing factors that could be making it worse.
(they're different for everybody so u just gotta find out what triggers yours to be extra bad)
smoking is one of mine. im on the bc pill and your not supposed to smoke, but i do anyways cuz im retarded. and smoking, coupled with the birth control pill, causes you to clot. which makes cramps worse. (clotting can also be detrimental to your health!!)
You could also have a case of pmdd (premenstrual dysphoric disorder) so its best to check with a doctor if your cramps and mood swings are REALLY interfering with your every day activities.
and also, while visiting your doctor, if your not already on the birth control pill, ask about getting put on a low dose version. often times being on birth control will stabilize the hormones in your body and make your cramps less painful, and some people even experience lighter periods.
hoping you find some relief soon!
