O.K. ladies...what do you take??

Hi Everybody, O.k. now that I'm a postie, I really need to find an over the counter med that helps with the bloating and pain of the monthly..you know. I know there are some meds we need to avoid..but there's gotta be something out there that you've tried that doesn't knock you out for the rest of the day. Pamprin would do that to me. Any suggestions on meds or herb remedies would be appreciated. Ginger..hanging on in Arizona!!!

Sorry Ginger, due to my couple of bouts with cancer, I don't have those parts anymore!

My gosh Lori, I didn't realize...I hope you don't think I was being insensitive. Congradulations though Lori..you ARE a SURVIOR!!! HugsGinger

Ginger, Insensitivity did not cross my mind! I had breast cancer 4 years ago (I was undergoing treatments when the 2002 Olympics was here in Salt Lake, I was too ill to participate in any of the fun, so this Olympics is a reminder of all that.) Then after a year on tamoxifen, a drug that is supposed to try and prevent breast cancer from returning, it made my uterus go "pre-cancerous" so it and my ovaries had to go! I feel great now and plan on seeing many many more winter olympics to come! Lori

I am a HUGE fan of Tylenol Arthritis Pain Formula - it is like 650 mg and kills the pain rather quickly... hope this helps - Jeremy

Hi Jeremy, Thanks, I think I will give Tylenol Arthritis Pain formula a try. I know the Tylenol products are supposed to be safe for the pouch. HugsGinger

Hi Jeremy, Thank you soooo much for your suggestion of Tylenol Arthritis Pain Formula! We should do a COMMERCIAL!!! It tool about 20 minutes..but wow! It really helped me out of some back pain that was out of this world. Thanks again! HugsGinger
