Ouch

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.

sweetie, if you have a rice sock, heat it up and use it either on your tummy or your back, which ever relieves the cramps more for you. since my, err, return to fertility after having the baby, my cramps have been horrendous and this is the only thing i've found that helps.

Thoroughly delighted to have left the world of cramps behind, thanks to the wonders of modern pharmacology.

Though the trade-off seems to be that I sweat much more easily now, I'd much rather do that and keep my room cold (and the students complaining) than have to lie about moaning as I used to before the advent of birth control.

I have no advice to offer since I stopped having cramps after college (started getting queasy instead), but I've tons of sympathy to offer. I remember well how not-fun they were.

Hope it's all better soon!

Let's form up a superheroine duo team. I will melt faces. You will beam cramps. We'll be unstoppable, I tell you!
