What if i have bad cramps but but am afraid to ask my mom to buy midol?

Answer:
Don't be afraid. Maybe when you're around your mom in the house you can make that painful noise and hold your stomach and say "Stupid Crampssss" and maybe she'll go and buy you some Midol.

y r u afraid? its a painkiller jus like tylenol or advil? do u have any of those? they may work too

---

Then I'd say you have a really messed up relationship with your mom -- why wouldn't your mom want to alleviate your pain? I don't get it at all...

---

I assume that you are younger. Talk to your mom. My mom completely understood when I started having cramps. It could be from your period or something else, so talk to your mom. If that's not an option, talk to a friend's mom or family friend.

Why would you be afraid to ask your Mom to buy you Midol?
She likely had to go or still may be going through the same problem.
Open communication is always best I think.She may even have some good suggestions on how to cope with cramps.
If you are sure you can't talk to your Mom and ask her then ask for some money and go buy them yourself.

Well, it won't get better unless you speak up. I know these things can be embarassing but you have to realize that your mother went through the same thing and will understand. All us women know how uncomfortable those cramps can be. And once you talk to your mom %26 get the pain relievers, you will wish you would have done it sooner!

ask to go to the store by yourself with a friend or just slip it into the cart when you shopping with her and if she asks just simply state that you need it.

---

Do you have a heating pad or hot water bottle? These will work too. Do you have an older sister who could help? Maybe leaving your mom a note telling her you are embarrassed but need something to help with cramps would be an option for you. Talk to your mom. This is something that happens to everyone. I can't imagine my daughter not being able to ask me for midol. Is there an Aunt or Grandmother or counselor at school you could ask. Bottom line, if you can't deal with the pain you are going to have to talk to someone eventually.

How about a friend's mom that you are really close to? I understand some girls don't like talking about this type of stuff with their mom, but if you are just honest with her then everything will be fine. But if you can't talk to her, definately ask a friend or you can go out and buy it yourself if you have the money.

---

You have your reasons for not asking her, but if it's out of shyness, I suggest you reconsider asking her.
Ibuprofen often works good for easing menstrual cramps. If the cramps are really debilitating, ask your mom to set up a doctor's appointment for you. Your health is more important than being shy with your mom.

---

remember your mother has her period too!! just ask!

---

use a heating pad and do light exercises every day

---

just ask her! she knows your a women, and get cramps when you're on your period, so she shouldn't mind. don't be afraid!
