Whenever I get my monthly I get sick. Sometimes it lasts a day, sometimes longer. I can't go anyway. I have to be near a bathroom. When I was younger I took the Birth Control pill and it helped, but I can't take that now because I have a blood clotting disorder. Does anyone have any suggestions to help me feel better? I can't take any med that has Ibuprofen in it. TY in advance for your help.

ty all for answering. For the person who asked about blood thinners, yes. I am on coumadin daily. It changes depending on my prothrombin time. I will take all advice and see my doctor this week. again, ty all.

You don't say why you have to stay near the bathroom (barfing, diarrhea, or heavy flow). If you can't take anything with ibuprofen in it then Midol or anything similar is out of the question as is the prescription medication Naproxen. Other than a hot water bottle or heating pad there's nothing else I can think of that doesn't need careful diagnosis and care by a gyno or a family doc. If it really is affecting you this way you should seek counsel from a MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL and not a bunch of amateurs on Yahoo.

I would ask your doctor if there is a correlation to your blood clotting disorder and your illness during your cycles.
I would suggest supplementing your diet with some extra iron a week before your cycles, and see if that helps...IF you can take it with your disorder...
Too advance for us "non-doctor folk"...good luck.

Go check with your gyno. She may be able to put you on a medication that doesn't interfear with your blood disorder.
Also, are you on a blood thinner such as heparin? If you are, then you're most likely able to take other medication to help with your cramps. And if not, look into it.
Good luck.
