Well, I figured this was a good place to ask. I've been searching google, and while there are many different pieces of advice, there may be too many. I hardly have the energy, or pain tolerance level to cavort around the house doing each remedy on every list--so, I thought I'd ask you ladies.

Do you have any good remedies for em? What has been proven to work for you? What was recommended to work--but didn't?

Currently, I have a heating pad on my belly which helps wonders, but obviously I can't do it all the time. I know red raspberry leaf tea helps them as well, which I do have, Midol (obviously).

AF isn't here yet, but the way my body has been feeling (as well as my BFN) I know she's on her way. I think I skipped December, and so in turn this AF is going to be horrid!

As much as I'd like to stay off of my feet, and relax I gotta get stuff done.

I was going to say Midol and a heating pad but it sounds like you have all that covered. I am sorry you are cramping so much. That sucks!

[MeganMomof5]

No I don't Amy...Hope they go away soon! I too am having bad cramps...Mine luckily are coming and going, but when they come they are awful!

I only ever take ibuprofen.

my sister swears by Chamomile Tea. I have not tried that.
I like using muscle rub in intervals and or with ibuprofen for the most painful parts of the cramps.

I have horrible AF's since I first started. What I usually do is end up taking 2 baths a day and relaxing in there for around 1/2 hour. I put the wash cloth in the hot water and then lay it on my stomach and keep repeating it. I also use a heating pad when laying in bed. I got these hot patches too from the pharmacy that really seem to help when I can't do other things. And generally I take 2 Motrin and 1 Tylenol at the same time every 4 hours.
