CLASSIC CHARM-depending on where you are there is a shot that will completly stop your period. I had to do this because mine was so bad I would be physicaly sick. I used the shots for three months and than skipped a month and it helped a lot. They also have hormones they can give you to balance you out, your body may get out of sync. If that does help you should get checked for more pressing conditions. I waited 2 years thinking it was normal until it got to where I couldnt move. turns out I have indmetreosis and ovarian cancer, and those are all symptoms. Deffinitly need to talk to a gyno.
just my two cents.

Yes, you can also get an IUD... which slows or stops the period completely. It's birth control so you can't get pregnant on it but it lasts for five years, and it's alleviated virtually all of my cramps. I used to be completely unable to function the first day of my period...
Another thing I noticed, and I don't know if you've tried this before... but if I took extra strength Tylenol BEFORE my period started... or as soon as I saw a drop of the red stuff, it prevented the cramps, but if I took it after the cramps had taken hold it didn't do a darn thing for me.

Have you had a smear test done? If you havent you should just to make sure there are no abnormalities in your cervix. It takes all of 10 seconds to do, but its worth it. I got one last year and it was such a relief to hear that it was all clear. Cervical and Ovarian Cancer in on both sides of my family. The smear is only for Cervical checks though.I wish painkillers workedMy cramps last the whole damn period and radiate down to my knees. I don't just get abdominal cramps, my whole body aches. My doc gave me anti-inflammatories for my knees, but they don't make the cramps any better. The cramps get so bad I feel sick to my stomach.
Ah man, you use those reusable ones? I'm thoroughly impressed. I don't have the guts for that.

I know a girl who has really bad periods. She had an op last year to remove mutating cells from her cervix and had to get three radiation injections over the next 9 months to make sure it didnt come back. She still has very bad periods but now she doesnt have the fear of cancer.
But in saying that, i had really bad periods for about eight years from the time it first started, changing towels every hour to two hours and unable to move with pain and when i went on the contraceptive pill it lightened my flow and nearly all the pain went away. It was such a relief! Maybe you could consider this?

Oh I'm afraid of what might be in Forever...I've read other Judy Blume books so I can only imagine. I did however read Deenie at the age of maybe 11. My mom and dad laughed when they saw what I was reading and said something like "good old Judy Blume." They probably passed Deenie around their classroom.I suppose they were relieved that they wouldn't have to explain it to me...she's such a perv!! ha ha. But now, I'm going to have to read Forever.ohhhhh I loved that book. However, this is the one that was highlighted and passed around the classroom:
I read Are You There God It's Me Margaret, but in the version I read, they were using old school feminine products and she was talking about a belt and all this stuff and it was very confusing to a 10-year old. On Wiki it says the book was edited to replace that with updated adhesive feminine hygeine products in 2006. See, I think they took too long with that. I read that in the 80's and I am pretty sure (going by what was it in my mom's bathroom cabinet) that no one was using belted thingies. I can't even imagine what that is. You're already in a craptacular mood anyway and you have to deal with some ridiculous tedious belt thing. Thank God for adhesives I suppose.

All right, you have twisted my arm. I will order a copy and read it. Never too late, right?I think I will read this one too... Right after I finish reading 101 Ways to Celebrate Diarrhoea and 50 Reasons to Love Your Spots.

Not in a meeting but my bras have broken in public about 6 times, the latest beeing while I was teaching a class, and sadly this now means I am living with only 2 bras until I get home and can order some new ones.

Hi gals! Long time no see!
With regard to the painful periods...what helps me is a hot cup of tea, and a heating pad. Think about it: muscle cramps/ pain, the ideal thing to relieve that and to relax the muscles, is to treat it with something hot...at least it works for me!

I must say my cure for cramps was the contraceptive pill. I get anemic around that time and that caused me to get whatever bug was going around at the time, months totalled off school - now I'm working I'm so relieved that I dont get sick like that anymore!
Also, on the bra thing, I've never had one break but I have a work shirt with an extra popper button at the top... which unpops at horridly chosen times! But without it, I'd be on show all the time
good to see i'm not alone with the pill being a total relief!!
Tour! Is so good to see you! Welcome back!

The pill helped me too, but for some reason the hormones in there kind of cut out my emotions completely... I did excellent on tests while I was on the pill but I couldn't care about other people in the slightest. It was really weird.
There are a lot fewer hormone imbalances with an IUD, plus I don't have to remember to take a little pill every day.

the IUD... is that the implanton? the little rod they put in your arm?
