    I've never had pain bad enough to need meds, but going for a run and/or taking a hot bath work for me. I'm so grateful not to have "crack-smoking" cramps. My periods are more like a brief, minor annoyance, thank God.

    Booze,caffeine,and orgasms are in my opinion the best cure.

    And then i thought: humm, that seems to be the case for a lot of problems really....
    :laugh:

    HAving sex on your period? That's disgusting. Unless you all are talking about having an orgasm solo???
    You are entitled to your opinion, but if it works and you feel better, why not? :drinker: And if your partner is willing, who are you to judge? :wink:

    Amen...do what works for YOU!

    Have NO salt for the 10 days before it starts
    Fresh strong ginger tea. Not the bag kind. Buy fresh ginger, grate it, boil in water for 5 min. Drink often, works very well.
    Thermacare heat pad.

    Naproxen, or at least Aleve. Nothing else will reduce the pain. Once I've taken one of those, laying down, having some tea or coffee, maybe a little chocolate if I'm no longer feeling nauseous, and putting on a movie to distract my mind from the pain helps me feel better. :smile:

    Midol Complete, a heating pad and a glass of wine or a good craft beer. Works every time.

    Why do you think so? It's completely natural. Just throw down a towel or get in the shower together. My bf loves it, and he loves feeling like a hero when he helps to relieve cramps.
