Your doctor needs to start running tests to make sure there is no underlying cause of your severe pain. I kept telling my doctor about my excruciating pain and she said I was fine. I went to a knew doctor and it turns out that I not only have cysts on my ovaries, but I also have adenomyosis (a disorder that can only be cured by having a hysterectomy). My point, some pain is normal during your period. Severe pain is not. You doctor needs to make sure there's nothing serious going on.

Hi
ask your doctor for mefemamic acid. It will sort you you out a treat. Other than that, are you on the pill as this can reduce the heaviness and pain of your periods. I suffered badly when i first started periods all them years ago! Never had trouble since.Talk to your doctor as very pianful periods can be a sign of endometriosis.
Hope this helps

Learn to spell.
If you take to more than the advised dose of paracetamol it can poisen your system and you overdose. The paracetamol will stay in your system and when you take more you top up and re-overdose
Take ibuprofen or naproxen.
Midol and Pamprin are chemically the same as Naproxen Sodium, and cheaper.
If you are not pregnant, or a vegetarian take evening primrose oil in a tea infusion.

I suffered pains for almost 10 years and eventually went to doctor. Given prescription that works a treat, better than any over the counter remedy. See your doc.

Have you ever tried Mefanamic Acid tablets/capsules. They're a non -steroidal anti inflammatory drug and you'd need to see your G.P to get a prescription, you can't buy them over the counter. I know quite a few people who find them helpful for period pain.

You need to inform your doctor. While some menstrual pain cannot be avoided, severe pain can be a sign of endometriosis. Get checked by your doctor.
