Good idea joko ~ I would say that your fairground ride would have worked in the same way exercise does..your body produces endorphins when you work out (maybe all that swinging and swaying felt like a work out!) which of course are the bodies natural painkillers.

A TENS machine works in the same way (the electrodes trigger endorphins) although it never worked for me when I was in labour ;o)

I read they were mainly due to kinks in the fallopian tubes, meaning when there isn't a proper flow they go into spasm to push everything along (I hope no one's eating). Not that they gave a remedy, but someone I know says it's all or nothing for her, either two days of hell or hardly noticing it. There's clearly a key to it (though being male it's a purely academic interest) though there is a little known suction method which dispenses with the need for a period altogether. It's been around for years but presumably never caught on as it would bankrupt the sanitary product manufacturers. It's a simple method you are taught to do yourself with a small pump and is over in minutes.

No, I was being serious, just found the site http://www.io.com/~wwwomen/menstruation/extrac tion.html

i figured that the movement acted like an intense internal massage.... though i'd say endorphin release is certainly possible

Hello stylinsam,
I'm probably a bit late for you and you probably won't have the ingredients to hand, but here's my remedy for next time:
I pick five bay leaves from the tree in my garden and put them in a huge mug, then I crush five or six juniper berries in my pestle & mortar and put them in one of those little tea strainer thingys and put that in the mug - then I pour boiling water over the whole lot.
While that is steeping I take two paracetamol, then I drink the tea when it is cool enough.
I've suffered for thirty years with menstrual cramp and I was amazed at how effective this remedy is for me - as soon as I take the first sip of tea I feel completely normal again. I hope you feel better soon.

Avon sell a magnetic device which attaches to your underwear in front of your stomach. I have found it to be very useful when at work, but the best thing is definately a bar of choccie and a hot water bottle.

i had really bad ones too, sometimes so bad that id black out or be sick.. my doctor put me on the pill and its helped.. try that if nothing else works, unless you are already on it of course.xx
