Mood help: my cramps are making me have the worst mood swings ever.. - Help.com

One thing that effect cramping is caffeine. I don’t know if you drink coffee or sodas but cut them out and the cramp will lessen. The more caffeine the worst the cramps. I have a shop with about 10 women and I have seen this advice help.

do light excercise or hot water bottle, big blanket couch/bed and watch trash tv. and tell no 1 to look at u untill u give them the all clear.

I don’t understand, is telling someone to shut out the world for 3 month out of the year good advice. No one can look at you for a week, I don’t see how that works. If someone feels so bad then why would you not tell them to search for a solution. She has her whole life to deal with cramps and they are hurting her so bad that she is posting for advice. I don’t get it but I am a guy and would think with the wealth of information on the web and a world of women out there that there would be more advice then a well meaning male that says cut out the caffeine and someone else that says block out the world. Sorry for the rant on your post and please know that I am not trying to attacking the other post but I don’t understand why

I just mean that the same thing happens to me I have tried a lot of things that havnt worked. The only thing I can do is try to make myself more comfortable. My pains and caramps make me physically sick. This has been happening me for 10/12 years i have been to doctors and tried all the advice that i have have been given or read and the only thing that eases the pains and helps sort of relieves the tension and moods is by exercising. The part bout turning into a slob was more of a joke but I have to do it quite regularly. I think medication has worked well for other people that i know. I dont take caffeine at all.

For years I had only 1 period a year until I had my son & then I got sort of regular but my periods were so bad that it put me out of commission for days before & during my period. My diet was 99 5 vegitarian with no milk , or cheese.
When I was 30 I met a woman who was 46 .I was totally weak & having hard pms , my friend was strong as a ox & she could cartwheeel across the floor , my friend is now in her 60 ’s & can still cartwheel acrosst he floor & is still strong as an ox.WHAT was it that made here strong as she is & she has never had pms or periods that hurt… she drinks 3 -6 cups of whole milk daily ,she eats beef daily & eats cheese daily, she uses butter ,uses unpasteurized honry instead of sugar , eats fruits & veg. daily ,she eats eggs daily …yoke & all, cut out white flower & white pasta & rice.She has the whitest teeth ,beautiful hair is always happy, healthy & strong. For a long time I mocked her { in a friendly way } because the health food industry & medical industry say not to eat like my friend.I’m a Born Again Christian & one day the Lord spoke to me & showed me in the scriptures that we are to eat beef , drink whole milh { any othere kind 2 % , 1 5 , power, skim are all very dangerous for the body ,they confuse the cells because there is not enough calcium in the liquid so it will rob cal. from bones ,teeth etc & store fat in the fat cells ,there has been reasearch in France that has proved this over & over,God doesn’t make 2% cows.So after the Lord showed me this I started to eat like my friend … today I’m almost 47 I have a monthly period that comes & I have NO pms & an easy period .I also get told that I look like I’m 25 -27 ,I ‘m strong ,happy all the time ,my son who was always sick & looked like he was starving to death is 6′5′ hugh slim strong 22 year old ,people are always telling us we have beautiful white teeth, beautiful hair etc. Not only has God’s word of what to eat cured me I have told other women & teen girls about this & to just try it.My son’s ex girlfriend since she had started her period had to be bedridden during pms & period for days on end , she tried eating like I showed he & now for the last 4 years has had NO PMS & NO CRAMPS at all. I know it’s hard to eat beef Ididn’t forover 15 years & people say it’s mean.But Adam & Eve disobeyd & got kicked out of the garden of Edan so we are fall men/women and God gave us animals to eat …when Jesus returns & we are restored to heavenly bodies we won’t need beef .also that eat foe your blood type is a lie from HELL, I know a natural doctor who worked with the origional author & it was a big scam to make money & the author hired good publicity people & now his son has revised the book & is making a hugh amount of money again .My son & I are A+ blood type & the book says we can’t eat beef of coarse I feel for that lie years ago when I read the book .I now eat beef once a day & I try to eat it twice a day.My son & I have an amazing memory ,are healthy , smart & strong & we give God all the glory & thanks for showing us how east it is to be healthy & me to have NO MORE PMS OR BAD PERIODS.May God show you what he has shown me.May all you readers & your families get Born Again as well in the book of John , John 3:3 the scriptures states unless a man/woman is Born Again he/she cannot see the kingdom of God {Heaven} Ask God to show you how to get Born Again .I confessed with my mouth to God that I believed Jesus was the son of God & rose from the dead & I wanted Him as my Lord & Saviour & my spirit got reborn or born again with the Holy Spirit now the spirit in me. May God turn you all to Him ,heal your pms & i will see you all when we get to Heaven. YAHOO. Love in my Lord Jesus …Penny Stein
