My problem is that i have extremely irritating periods..i know most people have the cramps..but instead of cramps(used to get them..dont anymore) i get REALLY bad stomach aches..like the kind where you constantly have to crap..and i get the whole freezing one minute burning up the next..and im sick of this..i spent my last period puking/crapping for a good 6 hours. Now i wouldn't be complaining about this but I miss school every month unless it happens on a weekend, and i keep having to call off work once a month. I'm thinking of getting birth control(im sexually active) and i was wondering if anyone has experience with relief from this kind of discomfort(the non stop stomach aches/vomitting). At the moment I've been using extra strength tylenol and pepto bismol..it helps a little for the vomitting but i can't get rid of these stomach aches.Thanks in advance for any replies

I would try going on birth control. I still get cramps and discomfort, but it's the normal.I have however had people who have had very very bad periods, and once they went on the pill it all calmed down. I hope you work it out.

birth control, midol, exercise.

I also had really bad periods and went on the pill to regulate them. Am not sure how old you are but I was only 15 and my Mum had to come with me to the docs.They really helped as I knew for the first time when I was going to have a period and my pain is a lot less severe although I can't say if this was due to taking the pill.I have not been sick though and maybe it's wise to go and see your doctor about all your symptoms just so he can check everything out and make sure you're ok.Good luck.

what's the deal with midol anyway? It's ibuprofin as the AI. How is it any different than advil or motrin or generic ibuprofin?

It's not. What do the other ingredients in Midol do?
