I'm getting ready to go to the beach with a friend this upcoming weekend. I have a feeling that I'm going to get my lovely period at that time. Besides taking Midol and using those Thermacare pads, does anyone have any other suggestions on how to NOT feel like crap. I usually get killer cramps and my mood becomes sour.
Usually, I just sit at home as long as I can with a heating pad and drug myself with Midol. Too many Midol, however, can make me feel groggily. I don't want to feel that way walking on the boardwalk. I also don't want to spend the weekend with my friend (who hasn't been to the beach in about 3 years) laying in bed, feeling like crap, and, in general, bringing down the whole mood of the trip.
Also, has anyone heard of taking Midol a couple of days BEFORE your period? Once, I almost fainted when I was having severe cramps. I got rushed to the hospital and right before I left, the nurse told me to take Midol a couple of days before my period started...
