this was my fun sunday, answers as to WHY??
i woke up and immidiately knew i hit my period. i didnt have terrible cramps at church, so i didnt take anything. when i got home is when it hit me hard. it felt like someone was taking my liver or intestine or something and twisting it as tight as it could go, (i dont know how to explain it otherwise. i dont think im having any problems with those organs...) well i thought if i took some ibuprofen it would go away, so i took 3. it was after i swallowed them that i realized ibu works slowly, takes forever, and doesnt last more than 2 hours. and it just feels like a blanket is covering the cramps. so then i went downstairs and took 2 pamprin, the pink ones with max pain relief. after that the cramps were unbearable for 37 minutes. i writhed on my sisters bed twenty minutes, switching positons, sobbing, punching pillows, rolling around, about to lose my f**king mind. finally, the cramps subsided, but all my energy is gone. i have to walk slowly because if i make any quick movements, they come back, like a sore. its been an hour since i took those pills and im trying my hardest to stay still and not move anything. i even have to breathe a certain way.
did i OD or something? is this normal? and is it normal for the cramps to be THAT bad? they've never been like this before, and im afraid of when the pills will stop working. it was too unbearable. can someone explain this, please?
thank you for reading.

I'd like to start off by saying "I'm a guy." But please do not discredit everything I have to say after that as I do have a GF. From my experience, the pain varies depending on the woman, now you said that this time was "more" painful than the other times. That having been said, I would recommend consulting your doctor about this as there "could" be something wrong. The pills: Some pills react very different to others, I know this as I have experimented a lot with pain killers. However, it doesnt sound like you took enough to actually OD on them. But, I would like to recommend an alternative pain killer that my GF and I both commonly use; The hot water bottle. This can sooth and heal internal wounds, hot water bottles have been a form of pain releif for 100's of years and to this day are still very useful and easy to find. If your concerned about what it may look like you can get coverings that actually keep the heat in longer as well. If your concerned about cost, theyre very cheap. You dont have to buy one made of gold and silver when you can get one just as good at walmart(which you can disguise as a teddy bear) for like $10 or so.
I hope this could help,

This is exactly how my cramps are every friggin month so it is normal. I have had better experience with Tylenol personally, but I guess it still doesn't really work.
Ibuprofen is shit. It takes hours to work and like you said doesn't last very long.
An ice pack or heating pad is my preferred method of treating cramps. You just have to wait for them to go away. Try just putting a heating pad on and laying down and watching a movie to distract from the cramps.
I do think that it's very strange that your cramps usually aren't this bad and suddenly are, but maybe it's just a weird month. I'm not sure. I mean sometimes I have minimal cramps and sometimes they are torture. I'm sure it's normal.
And avoid taking all of those pills at once. You probably didn't OD but it's still not safe.
