I'm 19 and I woke up with awful menstrual cramps (luckily it's my day off). I get them every single month and nothing helps unless I take 2 Advil at the first sign of cramping and continue to take it for at least 2 days until the cramps go away with my lighter flow. However, when I first wake up it takes the Advil a while to kick in. Today my parents are fighting and they're both screaming at me to clean my bathroom but I can barely walk without doubling over. I just hobbled downstairs to take the medicine. Is there anything besides a heating pad (ours broke) and medicine that could help severe menstrual cramps quicker?
