I need your help!

I really suffer with intense period pain to the point where it makes me sick. I also suffer with migraines every time I'm due.

What's your best advice for helping relieve some of the pain.

I can't be the only one that gets it this bad surely?

Have you tried rubbing salt into soles of your feet?

Oh Hun I'm sorry I haven't any words of advice. Fortunately I've never suffered with it, but if it's anything like the pain I'm in at the moment with a UTI then I can totally sympathise.

Hot water bottle, painkillers. And lying with your stomach supported is helping me a bit. I'm sure some of the other ladies will have some better advice. Sending hugs though x

Raspberry tea and ginger tea, help with cramps and nausea respectively.

Then the usual - hot water bottle, someone rubbing small of back, painkillers or Mefenamic acid, and whatever usually makes you feel cosier (chocolate or some such, having a bednest, watching a movie, listening to music, doing some exercise).

Feel better soon.

I also get the migraines. A few days before then just after. Regular as clockwork. My hormones have a lot to answer for

I'm even on medication for them which helps so much. If i didn't take it, I'd be unable to work for about a week a month.

Also you can be prescribed tranexamic acid to reduce bleeding and severe cramps.

I really feel for you, it's horrible when you suffer every 4 weeks

Exercise! I know its hard when you're hurting, but it's the best pain relief. You need to start in earnest a few days before your period comes to have a big effect, though.

I also swear that Aleve (naproxen) is the absolute best pain relief pill for period pain. I have no idea why, but it works best for me.

I've had the hot water bottle this morning but now have switched to a heat patch. Full up on painkillers. I'm lucky that it only last a day or two. Thanks for the help. X

Mmm chocolate that will cheer me up off anything. I'm switching between bed and doing stretches on the floor. Thank you x

I agree with the above. I suffered terribly but since having a Mirena fitted I've been great and periods are incredibly light.

I do often run daily... ok it's more of a light jog but definitely could try to do more. Right now I'm willing to try anything.

I've always been a little worried about getting a coil. Someone I know had one and her periods didn't stop until it was taken out. I'm definitely getting myself to the doctors, I won't be having another month of this.
