Anyone get any ideas how to ease period pains without taking paracetamol
nice hot bath works for me but then as soon as you get out it usually come s back! hot water bottle? how about the new heat pads oyu can get in chemists.
some one on here suggested a wheat bag the other day, im yet to try that but they all said it worked
Yes the wheat bag is the best but that is for me- also if i lay on my bully it don't hurt that much but than my head hurt. but you can you a hot water bottle..but not too hot as we don't want you buring yourself
a wheat bag or hot water bottle does help. Also try and avoid eating chocolate and dairy products such as cheese 1 to 2 weeks before your periods are due that usually reduces the pain.
Kill me now... :lol:Quote:

On the first day of mine I get pains really bad and they make me feel really sick and shivery, but by the next day I'm right as rain. :searchme: I've been using these aspirin powder things that dissolve in your mouth but they don't help much. I can't swallow tablets:(
Yeah on my first day i throw up and than i am fine for the rest of the time
i get pains sometimes.. but i cant be bothered with hot water bottles and stuff (specialy if your in college at the time lol) so i just take tablets lol.
I get BAD cramp when I'm at college, which isnt good. Usually ice cold water helps me. Not sure why but it does. Or a cup of tea.
i've never taken any medication with pains, i sit through them, even if they are really bad
i was gona say a cuppa tea is good and a nice hug helps all pain!!
I read in a magazine that green grapes help! i tried when i had pains, before taking a paracetomaol, but i accidently ate the whole bunch! they do ease the pain though!
Yeah they sure do (the grapes that is)
Really... :hmm:...
Same here Vikki.. I just lie on my bed on both sides or flat on my stomach and it's ok then :)

the whole bunch!! didnt that give you another kind of belly ache LOL
no as when you are on your period you mostly just eat- it kind of like when you are prengent you just want these wired kind of foods
:searchme: What are periods again?! :rotfl: I've forgotten and the worse thing is that they change each time you have a child, so I really don't know what mine are going to come back like - the one thing that I am not looking forward to. I shall be getting my trusty wheat bag ready and willing - other than that, I generally just lie on my stomach, a bit like you Spicy. I find that lying on the source of the pain really does help, but my wheat bag is my trusted friend for sure....

( i was trying not to go into details :rotfl: )
Yeah you do have that kind of pain but what i was saying was that you normally want more food, so Grape has healthy as they have (what the word) niturns(sp)Quote:

I swear by the wheat bag it is a lifesaver
It sure is.
Definitely agree with you there - its an absolute life saver and not just for period pains either - any aches and pains it does the job!Quote:

My hubby pinches mine for his shoulders if they are aching too - it always soothes them. Its just trying to get it back off of him thats the problem lol
you can't really do that in school though :(Quote:
