what do u take when youre on at the time of the month???

[Screaminglips]

as this is my first period in 2.5 yrs as 1 had the coil taken out Tues just gone and ive got a shitty migraine since yesterday..

Im taking Femimax atm which ive started today

what do u take?

I take paramol - very strong painkillers - ask for them at pharmicist.....they do work for me. x......failing that a large glass of wine and a galaxy!

I just take paracetamol

Nurofen is the only thing that helps me.

anasin,paracetamol,asprin,alcohol,chocolate.i am coping with pms and fag withdrawls at the mo

A double dose of hot water bottle and ibuprofen.

Half a bottle of South African red

Co-codamol(paracetamol and codeine), which I also use for my migrianes and a hot water bottle.

As well as the usual drugs, I often use my TENS machine during "that time when you're a lady" as a friend of mine described it many years ago!

Out of interest, does everyone have pain when their period is due, which is bad enough to resort to painkillers? I have a bit of an ache but nothing lasting more than a couple of hours or really awful. Am I the only one who is so lucky?

A mixture of lavender oil and patchouli oil is good in the bath or mixed with a base oil straight on the offending area! I use my heat bag a lot too. Although the nicest thing is DH just gently stroking my tummy! It doesn't always do the job, but it takes my mind off it!

Nothing.... since suing a mooncup i have NO period pain at all

(previosly i may take 1 does of paracetamol once)

I use brufen at the moment (400mg)
Wondering what sort of pain do others get.
Before choldren I got the usual crampy tummy and sore boobs.
Now all pain in pubic area and pain similar to SPD I had with both pregnancys. Feels like I've beeb kicked betwwen legs by a horse.

I take evening primrose oil to help with the raging PMT. I take Transexamic acid to help slow the raging bleeding.

I take paracetamol and ibruprofen as I always have a migraine with totm...
