i'm sick of cramps (girls only, please)
this question is intended for girls only, considering i have no idea where a guy would come up with an answer for this, but if anyone has one, great:
anyone can answer, whats the best menstrual medication you've had? like what kicks in faster, stays in longer, kills cramps the best, that kind of thing. ever since i started having sex, 3 years ago, my cramps have been completely unbearable and it cuts into my daily routine and i can't afford to miss anymore school. the stuff i have is called naproxin or naproxine or something like that, and it kills cramps pretty well, but it takes like 2 hours to kick in. and if i have to be at school by 8 and wake up at 6, along with getting ready and everything, it just won't work. so if anyone has anything or has heard of anything that works better/faster, can you let me know? thanks in advance.

i like naproxen sodium, if that is what you're taking. But you can also try ibuprofen. Take something in a gel cap, the gel caps work a lot faster.
I used to have the same problem. My cramps were so bad I would lay in bed for hours in pain, and sometimes it even made me throw up. But my doctor put me on the pill and I barely even have cramps anymore. You should talk to a doctor about that

Ugghhh... yeah, I feel your pain. Different things work for different people. Naproxin is good, but like you said, it takes a while to kick in. You'll have to do some experimenting. Try ibuprofen and Midol. See which works better for you. Caffeine is also a natural pain reliever. Do you find yourself wanting chocolate, coke, or coffee? That's probably your body asking for some caffeine. So listen to your body's cravings. Lots of water helps. And when you get home, a heating pad or hot water bottle on your "crampy area" will help - a lot! That's it... us ladies just kind of have to put up with this stuff. It comes with the package! But you will probably notice your cramps get less and less as you age. Also, birth control is the best to control cramps and periods. I know many girls who aren't sexually active, but take birth control to regulate their periods. Cramps basically disappear on BC... so that's something to think about too. Good luck.

Masturbation is supposed to help.
