  • Uh, if you're on your period, yeah?
    I hate waking up in bloody underwear. Sorry if that's TMI.
    As for the cramps, sometimes they're more severe than others.
    The first time I experienced severe cramps was the worst pain I've ever experienced in my life. It felt like somebody sliced my tummy open and stuck their hands inside and started wringing out my intestines. I was lying in bed drenched with sweat to the point where my hair was entirely wet, despite the fact that in was the middle of winter, I turned the AC on, and I was completely naked. I was vomiting uncontrollably from the pain and the worst part is there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. Take pain killers, hydrocodon if you have any, and wait.
    The fact that you had the physical ability to get online and post this question tells me your cramps aren't as bad as they could be, but still sucks.
    So yes, it is very, very normal.

    • I have had this before except without the sweat..it sucks! I REALLY DO NOT THINK that guys realize how PAINFUL it is when period cramps are really bad. The pain is so severe it can feel like you are dying!
