I pop 3 Aleve and pray for them to kick in. Also, you can get the heating pads that you stick on. They sell them at Rite Aid and last about 8 hours.

Beer won't help. It might take your mind off of it while you have a buzz going on but alcohol thins your blood so it makes things a little worse.

Just pop some Advil and if you can run out to the drugstore, grab one of those disposable heating pads. I think ThermaCare is the name of the brand? They work well.

Re: nwr: what do you do when....

the first thing i do is go on facebook and alert the world that my ovaries are swordfighting.

if i have to suffer then the rest of the world should have to deal with hearing about it.

then i take motrin and drink hot liquids.

take a bath when you get home.

Run it off.

The gym is my cure to everything. I'm weird though.

Me too. I usually get cramps the first day and I take either Advil or Aleve.

all the women in my family swear by the cinnamon stick tea...you go the grocery store and buy cinnamon sticks (the ones in the jar with nothing else added!).

You put 4-6 sticks in a pot of warm water and let it boil for a few minutes, then pour the water into a cup and drink it hot...I swear, w/in minutes the pain would subside..
