What helps with your cramps?

I woke up crying at 1am last night because of cramps. I got off the pill about three or four months ago because I want to get a IUD but I haven’t had time to make an appointment for it. I think the pill has kept my cramps under control for the past ten years, but now my cramps are back with a VENGEANCE.

Any tips or tricks on how to manage them, ladies? I’ve been popping ibuprofen like candy and my heating pad is putting in some serious work, too. I’ve heard essential oils are good, but I have no idea where to start.

Help a girl out, I’m dying at my corporate desk right now 😭😭
