cramps are from the belly button and down.

first of all, never ever take 2 kinds of pain medicine on the same day and don't take more than 8 pills in under 24 hours (read the bottles, one might be every 4-6 hours & other every 6-8), u can overdose and get sick and need ur stomach pumped, pass out or go into a coma plus taking alot of pain killers can make u immune so its not as effective later on- here's a remedy for cramps i've posted before (good for bloating & fatigue also)
hot drink like tea, apple cider can help relax u, also drink alot of water, get excersise, if u don't work out or feel like it go for walks or clean the house or if u can get to a pool go swimming (cramps is the uterus contracting so moving around will help)- avoid alchohol & caffeine, have the least amount of sugar and sodium ur able to, natural dark chocolate is great to have cuz its low fat & sugar but satisfies those cravings, have more iron & vitamin B (that helps fatigue too)....oh and sit back with a pillow or fleece blanket behind u (if u dont have heating pad it keeps ur back warm)

don't over-do it on the ibuprofen. this is probably half your trouble as too much of it will cause cramps and eventually stomach ulcurs.
best advice is to get an ibuprofen/codine combination like neurofen plus, and take as directed for an adult dose on the back of the pack. dont take any other medication with it unless you're on a prescription and even then ask about it when you buy it.
couple the neurofen plus with starflower oil suppliments from the pharmacist, and a hot bath and/or heatpack (just be careful of burns). make sure you're eating well as a hungry stomach makes cramps much more painful.
cramps can be worse when you're a teenager. it sucks, but it's part of life and it'll get less painful as you get older.

WHOA, that is WAYYYY too much painkillers in that amount of time!!! 12 pills in 9 1/2 hours!?!??!?!?!
Go get some midol, wait till tomorrow to take them since you have a lot of crap going through you with those 12 pills right now.
Use a heating pad, drink lots of water, remain active (you DO end up not concentrating on the cramps and they "disappear" while you are active).

First of all let me say that i sympathize with you cause I know the feeling, but is this normal for u? If not take a warm bath and relax for a while because you've taken enough meds. If this is regular behavior you need to have that checked. There could be something wrong. In my case they are still running test to find out why I suffer like that.

they could be perfect! See, in case you've capacity yet are unwilling to position in efforts in a particular interest, it really is your selection! yet, if you're keen yet won't be able to...for lack of capacity, then there's a issue! healthful adult males in my experience are Tireless! . Edit: that is not about making a residing. the adult males in my existence love what they do...it really is the reason of their enthusiasm!

Cramps where? That's a broad subject. Could be alot of things, possible overuse of those muscles.

you can stop OD-ing on pills; that's a start....ESPECIALLY mixing acetominaphen with ibuprofen. not smart. plus, the ibuprofen makes your stomach bleed.

You can try putting ice on it or hold it for more than ten minutes.
