midol

[mugsy]

start working.
please and thank you in advance.

p.s. does it actually work ladies?

[*PooKie*]

jeez man i was just thinking i need some of that shit.......... i hate being a girl sumtimes!!!

[dapimpstress]

i think it does actually work.. or i used to think so.... give it up to 20 minutes...

[charly]

ohhh it definitely works.

without i'd spend the day in bed crying and unable to walk.
so it's a good friend of mine.

[mugsy]

been about half an hour.
its curbed the pain a bit, i can stand up straight now, but i thought it was going to be a miracle pill and make everything feel better.
its totally a half-assed pill.
my back is still aching like a mo-fo. i guess it is better then before, i should relish in that.

[*PooKie*]

to get rid of my cramps i usually take one midol and one white advil gel cap the 500 ml ones... works like a charm

[cubed]

^ take some extra strength advil (400mg) every four hours.

diva from cubed's account.

[mugsy]

^ i was thinking after the midol wears off to take a couple of muscle relaxants - should calm the uterous and the back down a bit, maybe?

most anti-inflamatories don't work for me anymore, i was taking 2-3 every 4 hours for about 2 years due ot injuries, and now i have a stupid tolerance for them. i tend to usually takeover the counter no-name robaxacil (sp) to ease my pain, but today i thought i would pick up the midol and see what all the fuss is about.

[drinaboo]

yea midol is weird sometimes it works sometimes it dosent.. i guess it depends on your body type and the intensity of the cramps

[stringbeans]

i hear getting a punch in the stomach makes menstrual cramps go away

dont you mean punching someone else in the stomach john? maybe someone like you???!!!!!! :punch:


















just kidding.

[krisamata]

it never ever worked for me.

i remember reading somewhere that its just like taking an advil it was like the same ingredients or something..



put a warm compress on your crampage area, take some advil or aspirin, and drink some tea


and if they're really bad and continue to be and you're not already on birth control...get on birth control...

[.muffy.]

aspirin wont do shit

this coming from someone that used to have to take weeks at a time off school because I'd be in so much pain from my monthly "visit"

Things I recomend:
-advil
-extra strength midol (yes it does work, sometimes it's just feels like it takes FOREVER to kick in)
-extra strength pamprin
-cranberry pills (you can find them in any herbal remedy store)
-cranberry juice
-hot water bottle to the tummy
-LOTS of water
-I keep a stash of T3's that I sometimes take if the pain gets really bad

[Berta]

yeah advil and midol seem to both do the trick for me

[Varney Rae]

Nono you want pamprin...never fails.

pamprin works like a charm! get some of that!

[~lazee_grrl~]

my friend uses alieve..and she says it works wonders..?

[Ms.Chop]

midol doesnt really do anything for me..

i take neo-naproxen(sp?)

i take like 1 every couple hours and i dun feel any pain at all.. :trippin:

and if i dont take them.. i will not be able to move or anything w/out crying and yelling in pain.

[Rhianna]

When you kids get crapms how long does it last? Hours or like all day?

[*PooKie*]

i get the worst cramps for the first day... then its fine after that.... but every girl is different...... one of my friends had to take a week off school bcuz of her cramps... ouch

[.muffy.]

midol and advil are only trade names. but both have the same generic name (ibuprofen).

--Joanne :P

[mugsy]

^ yah thats what i figured.
i take cranberry pills on a regular basis to prevent stupid bladder infections.
hot water bottle is definately my hero, mostly for my back.
i've found the best thing so far for me has been caffine. and rasberries.
i used to get stupid cramps in highschool, the crippling kind. then i went on the pill and it mostly curbed them. but over the past 6-10 months, they've been coming back... my uterous officailly hates me.

[charly]

actually midol has acetaminophen, not ibuprofen.

and depending on what type you get it, it will have caffeine and some diuretics as well.
