Shouldn't be too much, no more than $20 or $30...and well worth it considering you will use it every month!

Feel Better!!

I hope you're feeling better soon. I just checked cvs.com and they have heating pads for $20-40

Suzanne, try filling up a 2-liter soda bottle with REALLY hot water. Wrap a small towel around it and curl up on the couch with it on your belly... the heat and the pressure work wonders! I've always done this when I have cramps... heating pads will work well too, of course, but if you don't have one this is a good solution!

Feel better!

I used to get really bad cramps and couldn't sleep. My mom used to give me warm milk with a shot of rum. Within 30 min, I was sleeping like a baby.

Re: SERIOUS CRAMPS

SIT UPS! Do sit ups. It does something to the muscles in your abdomen to make them relax a bit, or something. I don't know, but it works!
