Being sick with cramps

[Rosiexx]

Morning!

I just wanted some advice really, all of last night and this morning I’ve had such horrendous period cramps that I’ve been throwing up constantly as well as having diarrhoea (mmm nice)... I’m okay once I get some codeine in me but I’m having trouble keeping it down long enough for it to work 😭

This is by far one of the worst flares I’ve had, I’ve been using a hot water bottle and voltarol on the outside but was wondering if anyone had any tips on keeping the nausea at bay? Peppermint tea helps a little.

I’m just so tired and want some relief but I need to stop being sick so I can line my tummy with some food to take the tablets..

Any ideas welcome, thanks for reading xxx

Hello Rosiexx

I usually take fresh ginger tea for my nausea and stomach cramps. Get well soon!!

Hi, thanks for your message! Do you buy ginger tea bags or chop up some ginger to go in hot water? I’ll definitely try to get to the shops so I can try that xx

I usually buy fresh ginger. Grate about an inch of it and boil it for about a minute.

I sometimes add fennel seeds and mint leaves too. Than strain it. Works wonders for me.
