I really feel for you.

I found that nothing worked for me except naprogesic. (neurofen, panadol etc didn't make any difference at all.)

I used to take one of those little blue pills and thank my lucky stars every time that something worked. This was especially after the time I got stuck overseas without a supply and couldn't get any without a prescription. It was pure hell and I relate completely to Heva5, thought I might die!

I have heard that cutting down on caffeine can make a difference as can drinking raspberry tea. You need to drink it regularly throughout the month rather than just when you get your period and you may even need to drink it for a few months for it to really have an effect. Raspberry tea helps the uterus and is recommended for preparation for labour too.

I am sure that diet and lifestyle can have a major contributing factor so perhaps if you are at the end of your tether (and of course you haven't been down this road yet) it may be worth seeking the advice of an alternative therapist. A Natropath or Traditional Chinese Doctor may be able to help you.

If you are in Melb you could check out the therapists at the Belly Belly Center.... I found Nicole to be absolutely fantastic when I visited her . At least at that center you know they have been handpicked and specialise in women. Maybe you could contact them via this forum?
