Woke up with full-throttle cramps and bleeding. Ow. Not a happy Pyrephox by any means. I think I'm going to go back to lay down for a while. Maybe stretching out will help.
I didn't always get cramps. Used to just be kinda yucky. Then 10 days of bleeding one time, and cramps nearly ever after, except for a month or two after producing child.
I used to try to control it with... calcium-magnesium in peppermint tea. Aspirin. Barely kept it at bay.
Now I use ibuprofin. I was given one when I was lying down and wishing I were dead in fencing class. (By one of the other students.) 30 minutes later... It was astonishing, the relief of pain! Made a convert.
Always keep ibuprofin handy, even if it's not for you. O:>
