female only What PMS meds can/do you take?

Pix · June 17, 2008

I am leary about taking PMS meds cause I forgot to ask my surgeon what is ok and what isn't. What do you take? I used to take midol and would like to again but I can't get hold of my doctor. (miltary doc so its not like civ docs that are a bit easier to get hold of) I mean I will be seeing him on the 1st for my fill and will ask then, but in the mean time (like right now) what do you take to make your ToM easier on you? Does it upset you stomach?

I take Midol.. empty stomach, drinks lots of Fluid to wash it through.

I take good old paracetamol, if the pain is really bad i take it every 4 hours. I also make sure i drink plenty of Water.

seems to do the job for me

Oh yeah, it may be an urban legend, but my doc told me drink lots of Water and avoid sugar during TOM which increase cramps (I have serious cramping issue). I drink more water, but I don't keep check on sugar.

liquid tylenol seems to work much better for me than its pill counterpart. Also the original version of midol is made with acetomenophine (tylenol) so it should be fine but make sure you read the ingredients as some of it has a naproxen or asprin in it.
