3rd day of AF and the cramps are worse than ever!

This is my 3rd month of AF. I'm on day 3 and I have got the worse cramps that I have ever had. It's at the point that is hard to function. I have never had to take pain reliever for my cramps before, but I just broke down and took some Aleve (so far it hasn't helped). Are there any other home remedies (other than taking a bath, since I have both boys to watch and am leaving to take Harrison in to see the pediatrician in an hour - that's another story)? Anyway, I need something that I can do that is quick...lol.

TIA.

    Heating pad. And if you don't have a heating pad, fill a big Ziploc baggie with water, throw a kitchen towel/paper towels in there and heat in the microwave. It does wonders for me.

    My cramps are 10x worse post baby than they ever were pre baby. The first pp period I got had me in bed in tears, they were so bad.

    Anyway, a heating pad is my go to. It works wonders.

    Some type of physical activity works for me and my mother, we get disabling cramps every month. If you are able to get through the first few minutes of anything, yoga, treadmill, video, you will feel much better. Just be careful cause it also tends to up my flow. I also keep extra strength pamprin on hand, it works best for me.

    Thanks girls! The Aleve finally kicked in (THANK GOD)! I'm going for the heating pad tonight when I go to bed (or if I can get both boys to nap today at the same time). I'm beat!
