  • What can I do to make it go away this instant!?!?!

  • I chundered once due to cramps...

  • I find that using medicated heating pads that you can buy and just stick it onto your body work wonders, because I have horrible and I mean horrible cramps! It is extremely cold once you stick it on but eventually warms up and I've been doing this for a while now. Also, taking a Motrin and doing a bit of exercise works wonders as well.

  • Omg it hurts too bad!!!! Ahhhhh;(

  • i just want to enjoy memes!!!! ugh, cramps give me diarrhea!!!

  • I take 6 Aleve at a time every 4 hours and it works. It's the only thing that work. I've been doing this every since the age of 14. I do HATE! period cramps! This is the worst pain I've ever felt in my LIFE! And I have a surgery before and that still felt better than my menstrual cramps.

  • IS IT OK TO EXERCISE DURING YOUR PERIOD???

  • Im at a healthy body weight for my age and height and my cramps and bloating and moodswings and everything else gets worse and worse each month.

  • is it common to experience pain with aging?WE all know our bodies change. Is it normal for an adolescent to have no pain early on but experience cramps and pain in their 30 -ties while menstruating. Could this be a sign of  slow growing endromitriosis or any other serious problem?

  • My stomach and back hurt so bad. :/

    I wish I could afford a heating pad. :D

  • ugh last year my mom an older sister told me what a period was cuz i was going thru it an i was only 10 i thought it was gonna be cool but.. no my body hurts an it sucks developing

  • im removing my uterus. ill just adopt.

  • @veronicachic Wow. You just read my mind. But i'll have kids on my own maybe 2-3 or something then just let them take my uterus out. But then I would have to take hormonal pills, but that's fine with me haha. :)

  • @veronicachic OMG! i hope you're just being dramatic. but yes that pain is unbearable at times. i'm sure there's some magic tip somewhere. can't wait to find it and share it with everyone.

  • I can't do ne of this @ school, no pills or nething like dat allowed. N my cramps get so bad, dat I throwup, n my hips hurt, my bf had to carry me up da stairs to my apt afta prom cuz it started there. Y God? YYYYYY????!!!!!!

  • @lilangel722 well at least you have a boyfriend that's sweet enough to carry you <3

  • Remember when we were all young and excited to get our periods for the first time?

    Now, we dread that time of the month...every month. :(

  • @tonesbe I was never excited to get my period HAHAHAAH

  • @yOuCaNtChAnGeMe12

    Lol, but for me, I was quite excited. But yet I had no idea what I was really in for.

    Pamprin seems to have have actually worked for me.

  • @tonesbe i will take one right now and drink some tea Now i am gone LOL

  • @tonesbe Honestly I never wanted my period....

  • @MegaAwesome707

    I know that feeling

    When I younger, I was real excited.

    Now...not so much. :(

  • @tonesbe Amen i wanted mine cuz my sister started and now i hate it

  • You know, guys should be treating us like princesses for having to go through PMS and cramps. Instead they just make fun of us...

  • for me the hot bottle water or heat pad actually makes my cramps worse :'(

    nd i qet horrible cramps like im not kidding, id be crawling into a ball on the floor just cryinq, if theres any noise or sumn cramps start. bt sumn that does help me is to put soothinq/ soft music and just lay in bed, bt still even with the littlest loud sound they start again, or if i even try walkinq :P

  • why god why? why did you choose women... ???

  • yeaaah all those things work unlesss ur in school. ** whips out heat pad**

  • worsttttttt pain

  • Ow ow ow im dieng!!!

  • What if you still see a pedeatrision lm 14 and I feel horrible every month all the guys around me know when I'm on it it's so embarrassing

  • @awsomekacey101

    I know how you feel.

    I get very bad cramps to the point where I can't even walk. Or talk.

    Even slight touches to my body, loud noises or disturbances make my cramps worse.

  • @tonesbe Oh gosh, I'm the same way and it SUCKS.

  • In all honesty, (this is kinda wierd, but i works) going poo helps A LOT. For me that cures everything. (i recemened that you take your tampon out before going though)

    Also, the best thing to do is... JUST GET YOUR MIND OFF OF IT!! watch your fav show online(I RECEMENED PENGUINS OF MADAGASCAR!!)

  • These cramps make me want to turn into a raging bitch and rip of the nearest victim's head while screaming about how men have it easier than us.

    No joke.

  • Here's the trick to reducing cramps: Try to take Naproxen Sodium (Aleve) or Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, etc.) the day before your period if you can. If you can't, take it at the earliest inkling that your period is starting. Develop a kind of schedule where you take a pill or two every certain amount of hours. The maximum amount of Naproxen Sodium you can take is 1375 mg for the first day (1100 mg the next days). The maximum amount of Ibuprofen you can take is 2400. Try to take the lowest dose.

  • use this ANION sanitary napkin from WINALITE...

  • im watching this now because i have cramps ryt noww! and hurts so bad. =.=

  • my last period was okayish.. only had light cramps then got one horrible cramp that lasted about 10 minutes. god it hurt so bad! being a girl sucks. guys, feel lucky you dont have to go through this.

  • im a guy and i get like super cramps that last forever if not stretched. Im scared to go to sleep and wake up in the middle of the night with a big leg cramps!

  • heating PAD for 10-15 mins!? how about 8 hours of the AGONIZING PAIN

  • I need a vicodin and whipped cream. And I will be fine.

  • what helps me, is i take one midol and one advil and then i rub my lower stomach with icy hot or u can just fil a water bottle wit hot water and keep it there. and also walking helps.. if ur active a week before u get ur period it will help a lot. just know that TYLENOL sucks it does not help wit cramps one bit. take midol .. and icy hot does help. i can get really horrible cramps trust me .. u have to do a couple things for it to go away. good luck :)

  • hello everyone!

    a health pad is now available to alleviate menstrual pain, tested and proven!

    just check my channel and see

  • All I can say is this: Guys have it easy.

  • I found an AMAZING solution for my excruciating cramps: omega-3 fish oil capsules, and vitamin B12 tablets. These two things have caused my excruciating cramps to all but disappear. If you have really bad cramps (dysmennorhea), it's caused by excessive inflammation of the uterus. Omega 3's are a natural anti-inflammatory and many women are deficient in them. When combined with B12, the relief is even greater. There was a Danish study done on this, Google it for more info on why this works.

  • OH GOD I WISH I WAS A BOY............HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEE :(

  • ibruprofen works but just dont take muchh of it.

    i qet cramps that make me miss school & anyone thats tries touchinq me qets hit. when im on my cramps i dont like people talkinq. i like beinq alone and isolated from everyone,

  • does anybody know how to relieve rectal pressure during my period. the pressure feels like someone is stabbing a knife up my anus piercing my rectum and a knife in my butt it hurts really bad and the pain is intermittent so i don't know when its coming its hurts to sit, walk , or stand if anyone could help that would be great:)

  • OMG! i finally found a solution for menstrual cramps! i thought i could do nothing but just take pepto bismol and it goes away! :)

  • Motrin is the ONLY otc drug that has ever worked for me. I've tried Tylenol and Aleve, but my stomach was like "Pfft. Is that supposed to be doing something?"

  • lucky for me i have no cramps at all...cramps run in my family both my sisters had them and they were literally crawling on the floor rolling up into a ball and stuff it was terrible :( they are both older than me,in their in the twenty's. i dont get pain any where in my body which is a miracle. no one can tell if im on or off my period because i act the same happy as always i don't have mood swings. i always exercise even before i had it.same PM me if you want to know more.

  • Heres a better idea: hysterectomy

    No cramps.

    No periods.

    No pain.

    But... No kids.....

  • the thing that works for me is a hot water bottle and i roll it around on my lower stomach :)

  • my mom is so smart she told me all this stuff when i was young.

  • None of this helps me at all! I swim everyday, drink plenty of water, eat lots of greens, etc. I have to wake up and take two advils just to relieve some of this pain and even then it never works! Not only do i not get cramps in my stomach I get them in my thigh muscles and my legs all the time. this sucks. I hate being a woman! SOMEONE help me!

  • certain birth control pills can ease the symptoms of the menstrual cycle, but you have to talk to your doctor to find out if this is a good solution. certain women just have rough cycles, no matter what they do.

  • @PrInCeSsFBi45 you should really visit a doctor. this is unusual, and it might be serious! im only 13 and i broke out into deep scorching pain and i couldnt even get up off the floor. turns out, some niacin from urine got into my blood in my vagina(when i was on my period) and it caused an infection in my uterus. so what u think may be a bad cramo can be alot worse.

  • @cwistina25 WOW. thanks for that image thats just what i need right now.

  • @iskeenameem umm sorry im just explaining to her, this is for HELP. this is a serious personla expirience.

  • @PrInCeSsFBi45 then you dont just have cramps, you have dysmenorrhea. You should tell your doctor and he will prescribed something. I also have dysmenorrhea and I take birth control pills.

  • @PrInCeSsFBi45 even though im a dude i watch all this surgery stuff or something...

  • @PrInCeSsFBi45 your not alone i litrally feel like my back isabout to break ... sometimes really hot baths work with a relaxing scent

  • @PrInCeSsFBi45 ok I want to ask u if u eat sweets before ur period? If yes don't be surprised if you do, it happens to me when I take sweets before. Here's a list of do's and don'ts

    DO NOT:

    Drink cold water during your period it causes the blood to clot more to gain heat, which results in devastating cramps.

    Eat foods like chocolate, candy, foods containing salt etc these causes the body to produce more of the hormone that enables cramping

    ANY foods high in iron or iron tonics/supplements.

  • @PrInCeSsFBi45

    Do's:

    Continue eating leafy veggies but avoid eating iron rich veggies like spinach, it will make u suffer hell.

    Drink red raspberry tea, it calms your contracting muscles greatly, trust me I used it and it helped big time!!

    Take a Midol!! Advil and Tylenol are WEAK as well as ibuprofen I tried them all and I can say Midol gave me guaranteed results.

    EAT food and make sure u don't have gas! Ladies GAS is a murderer when it comes to periods! I only know to well *sigh*

  • @PrInCeSsFBi45 u need to go to the doctor, i know how you feel though.

  • @PrInCeSsFBi45 under ordinaryl circumstances, those things actually work. if they don't, you might want to visit a gynecologist. i don't think it's normal. i used to have menstrual cramps before too. eating greens and exercising helped me best. but i also drink a bottle of beer several days before my period. i don't know if it has any scientific basis, but that's want women do in our place and personally, i think it helps. in my opinion, doing on the spot remedies are not that helpful.

  • @werfhu See I can't do the beer thing lol. Underage. But thank you for the helpful tips

  • @PrInCeSsFBi45 take motrin 200mg

  • @PrInCeSsFBi45 take some ibuprofen...thats what i usually do and i make some chamomile tea with honey or ginger and put on a heating pad...hope this helps:)

  • @PrInCeSsFBi45 Omg me too - why are my thighs cramping >.<

  • :O im going to try this :D ^_^ ♥ thank u lady

  • WHOOHOOO FOR CAPTIONS!!!! man THANK YOU FOR THE CAPTIONS!! i just got a new desk top computer and i cant fingure out where the headphone plug is LOL and my speakers are either realllly loud or reallllly soft so kudos!

  • thanks a lot for that tipp!!!!!

    i gonna try it asap

  • lol in my pain i didnt think to a hot water bottle xD

    i really am stupid sometimes..thank you! =D

    its a really good tip, ill try it next time for sure

    and yeah i already did like that, i mostly have it from the first day till the 4th :/

    soo annoying

    but thanks again for your help! i really appreciate it :]

  • i dont have a heating pad :'(

    i bet it would help, but nooo we dont have one! >( *dies by cramps*

  • Go get one! It helps a lot especially when going to sleep!!

  • take a sock (like a mens tube sock) fill it with rice tie the end and heat it up for a few minutes (like 2) home made heating pad :D

  • Hey Steve of the Red Storm!!!! Should I get you a heating pad for Christmas?? Might help with those 'heavy' days...HAHAHA!!!!

  • Good advice in general, but I'm not turning my heating pad off to sleep or I'll be awake in 30 seconds cramping again and have to wait for it to warm up!

  • but you might catch on fire or damage something......

  • ive just started and im seriously scared of the pain! i litterally want to kill myself if none of this works! im afraid im gonna have to go ahead with the suicide plan!

  • Things you can try: Exercise (walking) Avoid salt Get plenty of rest Ibuprofen (take days before period dont wait until you have the pain take it before) No caffeine Vitamin B Calcium Magnesium Massage Hot bath or shower. Some suggest hot tea Hot water bottle or heat pad or something hot on the spot Now, if your pain is so severe that you can't normally function, you vomit, you have diarrhea, then it might be something serious in which case you will need to see your Dr.
  • I have this =( Most of the times I cant even stand up, and vomiting is the best solution sometimes. Also yeah, sounds disgusting, but diarrhea occurs too. =/ I once saw a doctor about it, and she said that everything was normal... So i dont know what to do!

  • It seems to me if you have all that going on and the Dr says that....that you need to see another Dr and get a second opinion until a Dr does something. :)

  • =( yeah i guess so but they;re so expensive and all they'll tell u is : Oh ur okay, or oh its normal lol... and i dont have that kinda money to play with. Like yesterday my period came and i was soooooo tired, i couldnt even move around my house, it even prevents me from eating! Everything makes me nauseous. =/ I have taken Pamprin, and tylenol, advil, and what not.. its soo frustrating =(

  • Try eating non spicey foods or I should say foods that are bland without seasoning and see if that helps and eat slowly...slower than what you normal do. Oh and take some iron pills too that might also help...either that or eat liver...but I not sure if you like liver...I dont!

  • lol i eat suuper dooper slow... should i still eat slower? I dont really eat spicy foods at all.. i dont like spicy food. hmmm iron pills i shall try :D and hey, i like me some good cooked liver xDD

    xx thanks for the help =) <3

  • Ok then what you need to do is get you a nice big juicy liver nice and bland and eat it verrrrrrrry sloooooooow. ;) Well I suggest slow and bland cause it give your stomach more time to get used to it and bland wont have any seasonings to bother it. Iron cause well you are losing blood and need more iron at this time to help with tiredness...least it should anyway. Yw. :) Oh also try doing google too if you havent already on period nauseau relief etc...

  • OMG that makes total sense LOL... yeah im not a carnivore xD... nice big juicy liver and devour itt slowly lmao hahahahahaha ur funny... =P Thank u... and yeah ive tried googling the hell outta it lol!!

  • Oh I know! You could eat that nice big juicy liver and drink some pepto bismol to wash it down with ;) The PB is for the um diarrhea and what not. Man I just thought of something um disgusting. Take liver and put it in some PB and make a Liver PB soup (PB isnt Peanut Butter in this case). Mmm! Sounds good! :P Yw. :) I dont know what you usually eat around that time either. Hmm.

  • Sounds like what I've put up with for twenty four years now. I always get nausea with cramps and cannot eat.

  • Um you really REALLY need to get a second opinion. I'm serious. Those are NOT normal and you just got a lazy doctor who didn't want to bother testing/referring you.

  • I've had your exact symptoms for twenty four years now and have never seen a doctor, so I don't think it's anything serious as everyone else is saying to you (re: cramps).

  • you could have this thing its like some sort of fungus or something and it grows on you lady organs (polically correct no?) and i think it can kill you if you do have it they need to cut yo open every few years and suck it out... gross huh?

  • A.S.A.P my problem is i get soar muscles , my feet get swollen and i get tired easily, my head hurts i get fever , my back hurts i tryed over counter products but it doesnt work and idid go to my doctor they said take midol lol i did what can u recomend ?

  • I recommend going to a different Dr. One that actually seems to truly care.

  • why do period cramps have to hurt this much? why? why? why? whyyyyyy????? how come men don't have to go through anything like this? is it possible to die from menstrual cramps? lol. cause man, the pain's so bad i feel like it could kill me.

  • Haha, I feel like I could die from the cramps and sometimes wish I would die when I have them. I can't even move and stay in a fetal position. Nothing seems to work for me!

  • Comment removed

  • wat helps for is drinking water and only water and that helps alot!

  • mine hurts so bad I can't make any sudden movements, or I'll freaking make myself feel like I've been stabbed. I HATE THIS MONTHLY CURSE! Though it help to know that I am not the only one who suffers.

  • i know srsly! and we have to run at school 2 times a week and when i have cramps it hurts so bad!

  • ah. the sad sufferings that we females have to go through.

  • Why this pain doesnt go???//whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

    I want to die.

  • i haven't tried drinking teas yet, but it doesn't sound like a bad idea. i get really bad cramps, so badly on the 1st and 2nd days i had to get checked out of school and even call in sick for work. i went to the doctor and she prescribed me a higher dose of ibuprophen that you can't get over-the-counter. The dr said that if the medication didn't work, then she said to consider birth control, because it really helps the most with the worst cramp relief and regulate your cycle.

  • last time i had cramps it was so bad i was sweating buckets, i was pale white, i was panting and i couldnt walk faster than shuffling my feet because i thought i was going to pass out !O.O

  • same here.I am on a Japanese diet and my cramps are still painful.

  • I have the worst cramps on the first and second day!

  • same here

  • omg, i know MIDOl  helps. my cramps hurt like hell.

    sometimes i creep on the floor like a baby it is realy a bad thing.

  • urg ... i hate this why couldent it be once a year . this is killing m no wonder they call it the "curse"

  • i cry when cramps happen.

  • I agree.

    I just got it last night.

  • It makes me SOOOOO sick. It's like having the flu without the sneezing and couching. Just the upset stomach, aches, and chills. That and massively bad cramps and a heavy flow with lots of clotting. :'( Just got it last night, shoot me now.

  • jesus christ! my cramps kill right now! i bought a heat patch thing an put it on my stomach its easing the pain a little. THANK GOD FOR MIDOL!
