Hot water bottles do not work for me!! I'm seriously running out of things here.

Tried hot water bottle.. painkillers don't seem to do it for me anymore..I tried the putting your feet on the wall.. tried running up and down the stairs.. I have tried most things on here.. something I haven't tried is the wheat bag.. that's next on my list. If that don't work I'll cry . I had it soooo bad one night in bed with my last period. I was awake for 3 flaming hours with it! think I eventually just fell asleep. But it was doing my head in, it was SOOOO painful.

Have you tried Feminax?

I've not used it but it's supposed to be really good. It's not too expensive either.

If that doesn't work or a wheat bag then you should go see your GP or nurse practitioner. Oral contraceptives usually make them lighter and less painful.

I saw your advice on Feminax so I got my Nan to get me some... they are a Godsend! Much better than normal paracetamol!!

Feminax is like, I don't know, It's just fantastic!

I get reeeeaaaaaaaalllllyyy bad pains and my Mum got me some of these and the difference it quite unbelievable!

[pookie1968uk]

dare i say that feminax is just co codamol with a brand name! it would be a lot cheaper to get a shops own brand co codamol, they are exactly the same!

[Hollie-x]

True. A friend of mine gets co codamol from the doctors, she suffers even more than I do +& so wouldn't like to imagine how much pain she's in. She left some at my house the last time she slept over and I used them (after checking what they were +& stuff.) with her say so, and they worked just as well.

[Kirsty :]]

Are they really!?
I never knew that!
I'll be on the look out now then for own brand co codamol!
Thanks

[Hollie-x]

Same, I didn't really think about it before, but I'm on now and have run out of feminax!
Shall be down Asda on Tuesday when me's got a day off school
