Okay so I've got these horrible cramps. (hello -time of the month-) Is there any way to make them go away? I don't have any medicine to take. I can't go to the store. I tried putting a pillow on my stomach but the pain got worse. It feels like I'm going to puke. Is there anything I can do?

tropicalbabe33 answered Saturday March 11 2006, 6:00 pm: The pain might not completely go away, but the best thing to do is do some gentle exercise - such as yoga - for a short length of time, then change into something comfy and place a hot water bottle over your tummy, while resting - you could watch tv or read a book in bed - and, this may sound strange, but eating chocolate actually helps when you're on your period. Another good idea is to have a hot bath with any of the following essential oils in: ylang ylang, ginger and camomile. Hope this helps!
