painful periods

[nosecretlies.livejournal.com]

i have awfully painful periods, the kind that keeps me up at night. it gets so bad that i find myself crying sometimes. the problem is, im unable to swallow pills. it sounds stupid, i know but ive tried. it always results in me gagging. so my question is, does anyone have any alternative suggestions?

Now I'm curious...why shouldn't you crush certain pills??

Depends on the medication, like I said, but crushing some pills will alter how they work. Googling, here are a few hits (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&rls=GGGL%2CGGGL%3A2006-14%2CGGGL%3Aen&q=%22do+not+crush%22+pills&btnG=Search) for pills with warnings against crushing.

I was just wondering how it would alter how they work, since I always thought since you were still getting all the medication it wouldn't matter how it was ingested. Thanks for the info.
