8. For a minute I read the header as...
"The Cramps" are killing me!



At least that would make for an interesting death.

:evilgrin:

(How's that for distraction?)

11. Take 2 Alleve.
Edited on Wed Dec-29-04 07:31 PM by Lex
.
I've done that for years during the 1st day or so (as needed) and the Alleve has never bothered me in the least, but it makes the cramps go bye-bye.

14. Shiatsu pressure point for cramps
put your pinkie against your inner ankle bone, laying your hand so the index finger is toward the knee. Immediately above the index finger, on a line from the ankle bone, there is a spot you can press that will help the cramps a bit. Usually the spot that requires pressure may be slightly tender when you press it. Apply steady pressure with an index finger or thumb for 30 sec. at a time and see if that helps a bit.


I posted this on another thread form someone, and she said it seemed to help her. Good luck.

17. That first line is great for telemarketers, really.
Edited on Wed Dec-29-04 07:30 PM by Ilsa
Then you ask them what you should do about them, what to take, how to prevent them, and moan ALOT. They'll gladly hang up on you.

I loved warm tea if I got crampy, which admittedly has always been a rare event for me. I think the caffeine helps a little also.

19. Best cure I know for cramps?
An orgasm. If you can get your mind around one. You relax, you feel better, you go to sleep. That endorphin rush is good for just about anything.

Feel better!

23. Hope you feel better
Since I am not a female I have no suggestions to offer that might get rid of your cramps.


:hug: This is the best I could do.

28. Start taking flaxseed oil daily
Make sure its organic, and keep refrigerated. You cannot heat it. It will either take the edge off or get rid of cramps completely. I've heard too many first hand testimonials to say dismiss this approach ...... Stuff is good for a lot of other reasons too.

29. Well, if it makes you feel any better--
I just left the beautician's without getting my hair cut because she was having the same problem you are. I felt so bad for her I told her to go home--the hair can wait until tomorrow.

Here's hoping that you get to go home soon, too! :hi:

33. Might be hard to pull off at work
But if you can, just close your office door. Lie down on your back, bend your knees with your feet flat on the floor about hip-width apart, and raise your pelvis and hips up off the ground. Slowly lower and repeat.

I tell you, it works like a charm.
