This is a really stupid question, yes I know it is, but do you get enough calcium? I have several friends have miraculous results from taking extra calcium supplements.
Hmm, interesting. Mind you, reading some articles that mention calcium supplements has me wondering if I ought to talk to a Doctor about this - you're not supposed to get stabby pains, dull pelvic aches, constipation and irregular bleeding with primary dysmenorrhea. Of course, I probably won't because he'll only say what the last doctor said. ("Are you having problems at school?")
Erm... this area of medicine has come a long way in terms of people not being told it's all in their head any more so I'd definitely say it's worth going to a doctor and a gynaecologist at that.
Well make sure you have something to eat as well. I take ibuprofen for my bad back and it can make your stomach dodgy if you haven't had any food.....................sorry about that I appear to be turning into my mum.
It's fairly dodgy, but no more than some. That sort of dose is usually for when I need the sleep as well (800mg will put me to sleep pretty pronto!) I wouldn't recommend it, but it's an acceptable risk for me.
Doctors will quite happily prescribe 800mg every four hours for temporary pain anyway. It's not like it's paracetamol, where a very small amount over the maximum dosage can be very bad news.
Also, it's not like it's paracetamol. Ibuprofen actually does something for pain. I may not have had period pain since January, but pregnancy is no protection against headaches - it actually causes them.
Take the Ibuprofen alongside Parcetamol, and also take it alongside a can of cola. Yes, my doctor actually told me to do this so it is safe and works for me 90% of the time with period pain.
full dose ibuprofen, half dose paracetamol (also works other way round depending on what you need) - told to me by pharmacist. I'd recommend it for muscular back pain/inflammation *nods*
