Menstrual Cramp Solutions
What's your solution for menstrual cramps?

Better to prevent than to repair later

Posted by: jfinne on Sat Nov 24, 2007

I try to stage cramps off before they even begin. Both alcohol and caffeine aggravate menstrual cramps, so the week before I am supposed to start my period I reduce or stop drinking those types of beverages. If I do feel cramps coming on I immediately start taking Tylenol or Midol (or other similar medications) to reduce the chance that I feel the cramps if they do pop into my life. These two remedies have helped me to lead a generally cramp free life for months at a time (except when I forget to pay attention).

When I do get cramps, I have found that a hot bath, lots of water and pain relievers, and exercise work wonders at reducing the pain.
