OMG, I have cramps! TMI
It's that time of month and I usually do not get cramps, or maybe have a little bit of cramping the first day and that's it. This is day three, though, and I've had cramps for three days, but today is the worst. And Tylenol? Yeah. Just not cutting it.

They call it , I know I am going to jack up the spelling but I think "mittlesmurths".....anyway google it and sorry I misspelled itWhat I keep on hand is Tramadol....I take 100 mg and I also take a muscle relaxant Flexeril 10mg.......hope you feel better

Try chasing the tylenol with some caffine...(coffee or if you drink it..soda)...it helps.
Or try the Midol brand with acetaminophen; for whatever reason that caffine really helps.
Since the age of 11 I have had bad cramps...throwing up and just out of it for the first 2 to 3 days. ADVIL was always my drug of choice. My first period after surgery had me in the ER cause I was throwing up for 24hr striaght and dehydrated. My sister gave me the tip of using Tylenol with the caffine and I haven't had an episode like that since. NOW don't get me wrong it's not ADVIL but it does take the edge off.

For those of you using birth control pills, consider asking your OB if you can skip periods. It was wonderful and I did it for six months at a time. It also meant that my physician had no problem perscribing a small amount of Ultram for that period.
Good luck!
