Have you tried using a TENS machine? I swear by mine and it has helped me to stay at work many times when I think I otherwise would have gone home because the pain was so bad.

I was really sick everytime I tried a hormone tablet even the really low dosage ones. Have you ever tried a coil? They have worked really well for me in the past and never made me sick. Good luck I really hope you find something. Chin up.

see I have an option that is helping the pain- medical marijuana...it has saved me... I know I need surgery with or without Visanne and I rather not add a hormone to the mix... try getting a referral for the Cannabinoid clinic... they can assess you...

There's many different ways that work best...especially when they are combined. Eating right, exercise, holistic care. Please be careful with the OTC pain meds.

My doctor just switched me to Ponstel, which is an NSAID a little more specific to period pain than Motrin. I feel like I've been on everything and this NSAID is working wonders for me.
