Anyone got any good remedies for period pains and stuff? I always get really bad stomachache and headache and feel sick <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/frown.gif"> Usually I just take paracetamol and curl up in bed with a hot water bottle but its not working. I hate periods. Can you have an operation to make you stop having them? I'd have it.
( I know J9's going to suggest lavender oil for this one...hehe. What do I do with lavender oil then? )

I'll check my "aromatherapy for women & children" book tomorra <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif">
Nah i dunno.. never been bothered that much by my period for some reason...
erm but guess paracetomal n ibuprofen mix is well good for 90% of pain.. can take both at 1ce with no worry...
just look at the good side... least ur havin a period now!!
and sorry elisa...this is serious. I dunno - it's not somethign i've ever had to experience, and i feel sorry for you girls out there. i guess painkillers are the best thing to take - if it really gets unbearable go see a doctor.
I didn't lose my mind, it was mine to give away.
this is just one thing ive foudn helpful, not much else did that i found <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/frown.gif">
It's better to regret things you've done than things you haven't.
to 25mls of carrier oil (sweet almond oil is good, don't use a mineral oil like baby oil) add 15 drops of clary sage, 5 drops of chamomile (german or roman), 5 drops of geranium & 2 drops or rose (rose is extremely expensive, so unless you've got some anyway, I'd leave it out).
Massage over the lower back, solar plexus (whatever that is lol), tops of thighs, buttocks (calm down boys <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/wink.gif"> ) and abdomen. Do this approximately one week before you are due & for aproximately one week after. Unless the condition improves quickly, continue for several periods.
The book says that clary sage should not be used during pregnancy. Geranium should be avoided in cases of dermatitis & also in the first trimester of pregnancy.
Hope this helps, if you decide to use it Elisa (& anyone else who suffers).

i have terribly painfull periods every period and it always lasts 4 2days non stop. i find takin nurofen every 4hrs, and never let the pain cum back, even if that means every 2 hrs, i know its prob stupid, but the pain is unbearable.
i tried goin on the pill, but i still got the pain and they were still as heavy. i also got little orange tablets from the doc, but they never touched me.
i was told to exercise, but it dont work, and it takes energy!
hope u find a solution, if u do please tell me!
loads a luv helly
