Okay, okay, not really. But I'm on the third day of my period and I have really awful cramps. Yesterday, I took four extra strength Midol within the course of twelve hours, and I fell asleep at two this morning and woke up at four thirty this morning and haven't been able to fall asleep since. And my cramps are still killing me and so I took two more. It's obviously the caffeine in the Midol keeping me awake, but it helps with the cramps! So I'm wondering, what's my alternative?! Help!

you need to take ibuprofen every 4 hours it will get rid of currant cramps and prevent you from feeling any more pain it really works!!!! don't take on empty tummy take with food or some milk if you really can't eat then take with a cracker.

Ibuprofen is the best. (In Australia I use Nurofen) Caffeine is suppose to be really bad for cramps, I heard from someone. I don't have any not even a cup of tea when I have my period. Another thing that really helps is having sex or even masturbating, believe it or not! But if you cant do that heat is another easer of pain. A hot water bottle or hot pack.

Because of how severe the cramping is I would recommend having this evaluated by your doctor to see what they think is going on.

Try a heating pad. If that helps, go to the Pharmacy and get some of those heat packs that have adhesive to attach them to your body.
