Major cramps!

Ugh, AF is here and I'm not sure why, but I have some MAJOR cramping; like I'm slowing dying while sitting in my cubicle.

 I'm usually not a pill-popper, but I'm debating taking an ibuprofen (that's all I have at my desk).  and also debating getting a fatty snack (like 500 calorie lemon bread from Starbucks); think either will help?

Re: Major cramps!

  • I hear ya. I can tell AF is right around the corner for me too so I'm starting not to feel well.

    I always just try to stay away from salt during that time because it makes me feel super bloated. Drink lots of water too. IB Profrofen is my weapon of choice :)

  • Oh I didn't think about that, but it makes sense!

     What about dairy - good/bad?

  • Water definitely helps but I am always up for Starbucks and it always helps me lol

    haha, true!  Well I know that one of the active ingredients in Midol is similar/like caffiene, so I got coffee this morning (instead of drinking the free-less tasteful stuff from work)

  • Hannah, I don't think taking an Advil for cramps is going to make you a pill popper.  lmao

  • I'm right there with ya, babe. Been doing the exact same thing all day, and because of it, I have hardly sat down at all because it feels better to move around. This is the longest I've held still today.

    Haha, I know but I rarely, if ever, take any OTC pain meds b/c I guess I just figure my body can handle it on it's own? lol
