Answer 1

Try a very hot bath as hot as you can get it or a hot pack or cold pack.

Answer 2

I know this sounds crazy but I had to give up caffeine because I would pass out from period pain. Embarrassing!
It takes about 2 months to work and it's really hard but it was worth it for me. Don't drink any more tea unless it's decaf and try to avoid salt. What your experiencing really is a cramp so anything that will help to relax the muscles will help.
If you have some cold medicine that usually puts you to sleep it may help or some benadryl. So sorry that you are in so much pain, hope you feel better soon.
Oh and be careful not to overdose the tyllenol (paracetemol)its often in other medicines too, check the label.

Answer 3

I know how you feel honey.Let me see.I usually get something hot,like a hotwater bottle and place it on my stomach.This kinda loosens the mucles making it less crampy.I also try not to think of the pain but then the pain sometimes is so unbearable that I just have to cry.

If none of those works there is another form of "therapy" I employ.I get a male friend[I dont have brothers and my dad refuses to be a scapegoat,lol.] and blame it all on them and say that it was Adams fault and how its the males who have us women in this situation that we are in,lol.It doesnt make the pain go away but atleast I get to let out pent up fustrations and it does take my mind of the pain,lol.

I really do hope you feel better.This sucks I know but I have a male friend whenever it is his turn to get the "rantings" he always hugs and me and says "Its only for a time dear.Only for a time".

If you want I can scream with you...AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHAAAAAAAAAA.

I really pray that you do feel better.Try getting some sleep.

You are suffering from Dysmenhoria (i think i've spelt that wrond, never mind) I suffer from it too, its AGONY. I'm 24 years old and still suffer from it, having to take time out of work at least once a month as the pain is still rather bad even with pills, it first started for me when I was sixteen untill then i'd suffered no pain while on my period. Go to your doctor who can prescibe you Mefenamic tablets, if these don't help, the doctor can recommend a contraceptive pill that should, believe me you won't want to carry on with that pain its so disruptive to your life, it may not occur every month for you but a standard paracetamol doesn't usually work. I feel for you hon!

Answer 5

A hot water bottle is the best answer hun, if you dont have 1 but hot water on a flannel or towl and put that on ur stomache. Try rubbing ur stomache to. The best thing you can do is curl up in bed with something hot on ur tummy and go to sleep, this sounds stupid bcoz i know the pain ur in but its the only thing you can do- other than gentle exercise but ur prob 2 tired 2 do that at this time of night! Take care and i hope u feel better soon x

Answer 6

well there sre a few things to cut down on intaking caffien such as soda and chocolate they cause more cramps but if your a big drinker then youll get headachs. so just cut down on them .firts take some tylenol. tylenol helps with the bleeding for some reason . it helps lighten the flow and reduces the cramps. get into the shower put the water on as hot as you can handle it but be comfertable. staned there and let the pressure and heat work on you body. im sure you back hurts to. then getinto bed put you knees up to your stomach but not all the way put some more heat on you back and stomach. and try to relaxe your body the more tense you are the more the pain. how ever another thing to think about . could you have been pregant and be having a misscarrage. this will caus extream as pain as well. go to you doctors as soon as possible.

Answer 7

Heat helps chick...Have a hot bath or get a hot water bottle and put it on your tummy.

If your pain is that bad it's making you want to scream you need to go and see your Dr...There's no need to suffer that much every month x

Answer 8

Heat, and lots of it. Heating pads, hot water bottles, those rice bags that you can throw in the microwave, hot bath, anything like that. Heck, if you have a cat or dog, try to see if it'll sit on your stomach for a while (not a big dog... just curl up around that one). Whatever source of heat you can get your hands on, use it. Aside from that, the fetal position may help. Try to sleep it off if you can.

Answer 9

try using a warm hot water bottle and do some gentle stretches to get rid of the pain! xx

Answer 10

make a hot water bottle for yourself?
try sleeping in a different position, try two pillows??
make a hot chocolate/tea with honey?
rub your tummy?
incase your tummy is cold put a blanket over it, its weaker at this time of the month and the weather is changing.
aw, sorry. i use to get those very bad ones...
those kind of cramps are common through out teen years.
