This doesn’t work, i feel like i want to curl up and die for a week then come back.
Gahh, this is one part i hate about being a girl. it would be fab if we didn’t have these.
im thirteen and i am on my first cycle. my cramps were so bad this morning i had to stay home from school. I took two pain killers, then layed in bed with a heating pad on my lower abdomen for two hours. Then i felt better so i went out to lunch. I then came home and felt fine. Then about two hours later i started getting even worse cramps. ! now im sitting here typing this almost in tears. I HATE THIS! ughh, are their any pressure pointss, around there that can help?
That does not work too well when YOU HAVE TO GO TO WORK !!! Ahhh I hate being a girl sometimes!! lindsey yea the first cramps suck but they only get worse. It was your first period you never had cramps before so it probably felt like you were dying but honestly later on after you get more periods you will wish you had those cramps back
it sucks
cramps hurt. but it helps when you have a sweet boyfriend to take care of you.
Wow Lindsey. That must terrible. I didnt have any cramps at all when I first started my period. I started getting them a couple of years later. I try taking pain killers but they dont really work for me. One time i took midol and i think the cramps got worse. I really hate it when i get cramps at a time that i really need to be focusing. Like right now. There is a new cramp pain killer made by excedrin. I think i might try that.
