1. You need Advil and sympathy.

And put a heating pad on low on your tummy. It really helps!

[Shell Beau]

2. I've already popped the advil, now waiting for the sympathy!

:evilgrin: They do suck!

[dolo amber]

3. Or chocolate and a Cosmo.

Drink or magazine, your choice. ;)

4. D'oh!

I forgot about the medicinal qualities of alcohol! :-)

5. Well, recovery from a hysterectomy sucks

MUCH, MUCH more. But now that I'm done, I in no way miss the monthly misery. (Well, mine was more abnormal than most. Hence, the need for surgery.)

You don't realize how much it takes away your freedom until you don't have to deal with it anymore.

Putting pressure on the area with a pillow or going for a walk helped me. You'll live. We all do.

6. Tea made with the following herbs works.

I've used various combinations of any of the following with reported good results: anise, blue cohosh, burnet, calendula, caraway, cayenne, coriander, dill, fennel, fragrant valerian, garden thyme, garlic, lavender, mother of thyme, peppermint, rose, rosemary, savory, sweet marjoram. I'd google the ones I haven't heard of before downing them. You never know what side effects they may have.

8. A nice stiff drink of something alcoholic always helps.

[Shell Beau]

16. Aw thanks!! Just trying to get some sympathy!

Not like I REALLY need it though! :)

[KitchenWitch]

17. Me too, they suck

and I have them right now...did we all get on the same cycle?

[Shell Beau]

18. It appears so!

:o We can be miserable together!

[KitchenWitch]

19. Misery loves company!

[Shell Beau]

20. Yay! Let's wallow in it!

[TimeChaser]

27. Ugh, I've been having them the past three days...

[momophile]

21. I'll give you sympathy...

Cramps do suck! I don't look forward to their return (I'm postpartum and they should come back pretty soon).

[Shell Beau]

22. I hope they don't come back with a vengeance!!

:hug:

23. My Gyno recommended Motrin...

It works for me, every time.

[Shell Beau]

24. Isn't that ibuprofin? My doc said advil is good for

muscle cramps, which is ibuprofin.

[Shine]

25. You have my complete and utter sympathy.

I have sooooo been there....and probably will be in a few more days..... ugh.

Hang in there, gf.

One word: ADVIL

29. Ouch! - those babies really hurt! I gave them up a few years ago

for nightly sessions of burning and freezing!
