Yeesh, I hate cramps. Hate hate hate them. If this is something I get to confront TPTB about post-this-life... oh, I will definitely have some things to say. If I could wish for a superpower, I think I'd want the ability to beam cramps at people. Nonlethal, but stops your in your tracks like damn. Men, be glad you don't have to deal with this shit.

... but you would if I had my cramp-beaming power. Yes, you would. Customer service with a smile on your face? Right, just try. Jokes about PMS? Of the past, 'cause this shit ain't funny. It effin' hurts. If my power were real, it'd be used for good. Global understanding, baby.

At least there's more Kolchak on Sci-Fi. Bless their little hearts.

I do have one of those. I typically use a heating pad - got one on my tummy right now - but I've used the rice sock for my back when it flares up because the shape is better.

And oh god, I'm sorry to hear that your cramps have gotten worse after the baby. For some reason I'd always heard that they were supposed to get better. Although... I've noticed in the past sometimes that too much dairy really makes the pain flare up. Maybe there's a correlation there?

And oh god, I'm sorry to hear that your cramps have gotten worse after the baby. For some reason I'd always heard that they were supposed to get better. in our case, since we're extended nursing, my menses were VERY delayed (went from june 03 to aug 05 w/o a period) so my hormones are a bit whacked, which i suspect is part of the problem. it's also possible that my daily cup of cocoa doesn't help, but it's not likely that i'm going to give it up.

i agree, the rice sock is great for shaping, plus you can safely sleep with it.
