I would like to stop hurting now, please.

I took painkillers an hour ago. They are failing to kill pain. Ouch.

I've been taking a painkiller called Veganin for years. It's the only thing I've ever found that touches period pain. It used to be a combination of paracetamol, codeine and aspirin - but they recently changed the formulation, and now it's just paracetamol and codeine with caffeine. Which I can't use. Great. So I just took Boots' own brand paracetamol and codeine, and it's doing nothing.

See previous comment on TENS - the machine is my answer to pain that wasn't finding effective relief from drugs. I was taking Mefenamic acid, which worked for a while, but then stopped. I now take Cyclokapron which basically stops the pain by stopping the bleeding ... it may not be suitable for everyone as it thickens the blood, I believe. But it does stop the pain and I only need to use the machine for about two days, on and off until everything dries up and the pain is gone.
