My problem is that my stomach is very sensitive so there are very few pain meds I can take that won't make me nauseated. Alleve, Advil, asprin--they all cause my stomach to get upset, and while I can take Tylenol, it doesn't do SQUAT!<br /><br />My doctor says it doesn't seem like I have endometriosis, in her opinion, so thatCamy Tanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14577747925320907186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371723.post-13780538752571815082009-12-16T22:41:25.958-08:002009-12-16T22:41:25.958-08:00I can't imagine anyone having cramps that felt...I can't imagine anyone having cramps that felt as bad a labor did! (I'm 7 months post-partum. I haven't forgotten yet!) I feel for you ladies who have bad ones since there's no epidural to numb the pain away. :)<br /><br />Camy - my friend swears by Pamprin when she's all crampy. I'm an Aleve girl -- it's basically the same as Midol and costs less.

I discovered this use of it after a visit to New Zealand.

I didn't feel like exercising so I have no idea if it would have helped. Because in 1984 endometriosis wasn't a well know.
