>HI:

I also suffer from severe endo related cramps. While I can't say that anything works totally for me, annaprox 500mg plus 2 extra strength tylenol is the best I can find. It is a little hard on your stomach but if you take it with pepto bismol it's fine and my doctor said that's ok. I have tried a host of anti-inflammatoires out there ponstan sp?, voltaren, vioxx, celebrex, prescription strength ibuprofen, toradol, ...... and in my opinion annaprox (not generic) is the best. Even with that combination I can be bedridden as well and my latest attempt to avoid that is to take my birth control pills continously without stopping for a period. I haven't had a period since November and it has been such a major releif. Good luck. Amanda a_farquharson@hotmail.com
