i started my period today and it hurts like a motherfugger . i feel like somebody is grabbing the insides of my stomach and pulling it downward. ugh! that, or i feel like somebody's punching bag! the first two days is always a pain in the ass for me.

what do you do when you start your period to avoid any pain? do you eat certain foods? do certain exercises?

please don't suggest taking medication like midol.

When having your period, it is best to go for walks and do active exercises, because it will ease the pain. Well, that's what my P.E teacher told me.

I pop lots of pills.

^ i dont think that's very healthy..
well, i dont usually have really painful cramps. just a lil cramp but i can still bear it by crouching on my bed . i can still walk n all. only a few times happened that i had BAD cramps. i fill a bottle with hot water and rest it on where it hurts, like the back near the crack, or between my pelvic bones

It isn't but if I don't take pills, the pain never goes away.

I dont think so my friend i dunno when i have my period i can even stand straight
my stomach and back hurt like a bietch. i usually took naproxen my doctor prescribed

[sheLLiJiElUn]

umm the first time i got it.. i dealt with it by walking around aimlessly really fast.. for like an hour.. everytime i stopped..the pain would come back

[m i s z CHEN]

i usually take a warm shower. it helps ease the pain for me somehow =]

[sosays i]

that walking/exercise advice never worked for me.
trust me, i walked a LOT.

i make myself fall asleep.
seriously, the pain is... i can't even explain, haha
it's horrible the first two to three days for me, too
i usually skip at least one day of school a month, lol

I was told that warm showers/baths helps. Along with drinking lots of water.

Avoid caffeine as it usually makes things worse.

[getxinfatuated]

I'm the lucky few who rarely feel any pain during their period, but sometime, i drink a hot beverage and always feel better. I know exercising is good and blah blah but i just HATE being active when i'm on my period

[MiiCKYO0CHUNx3]

^ lol ? thats what i do .

if theres no midol then usually a warm shower for me

[iluvfany86]

I don't have that kind of pain but when I do, pills work. =) How about hot stuff? Soup? Warm water?

[sj22]

take a hot bath, eat bananas, drink warm water..

i never do any exercise to deal with the pain (i take tylenol).. but walking does help with the.. flow?.. lol

[oOh-her]

i never get menstrual pain. guess i'm going to go through hell when i'm in labour
but i've been told its better to keep on your feet and stay as active as possible.

[~ BunnyliciouS ~]

I take midol or aspirin.

[Miss Tea*]

You gotta got through the pain, periods are apart of a female's life up until menopause. Pop a midol, drinking tea, excerisizing; anything that lessens the pain so we can get through the day.

Then pig out when we get home -_-.
